Damn, we´re late again with the reviews of the BMX mags. You´ll find a bunch of reveiws on FATBMX this week, promised. Here´s the January issue of RIDEBMX and yes, you saw that right, they´ve got a Flatland photo on the cover. It must have been years since that happened (anyone?). Terry Adams is a media machine. The Haro ad shows the first signing of The Unit, Nyquist´s private "Training Centre". Let´s simply list some things out of the table of contents. That will give you a good idea of what you can expect from Ride´s first 2006 issue. 18 Letters. 24 Up Front.. 48 Pro Q&A.. 52 Diversions.. 54 Then and Now with Ian Morris.. 56 Products.. 57 Product Test.. 58 SetUps with Jimmy Levan.. 110 Regional News.. 114 BIO with Mike Hoder.. 122 End Point.. Okay, that was a short cut. Let´s flip through the mag and see if we can find some interesting stuff for you. Okay, there are two Germans that get a full page ad. Max Gaertig gets the wethepeople ad and next page it´s Paddy Gross in the SNAFU ad. With Spaniard Ruben Alcantara in the FOX ad and Australian Ryan Guettler in the VANS ad, you know that BMX is international and the companies support that. The new Volume ads make me laugh. You may think they suck but I think they rule.

Welcome to the Adio Shoes team of Sean Burnes, Rob Darden, Jerry Bagley, Brandon Pundai and Ben Hucke. That´s a double page spread ad for RIDEBMX.

It was a shocker to read about Eric Gagne´s death. May he R.I.P.. There´s a photo report on Interbike, it´s Kevin Porter who answers your questions on page 48. Hey, we´ve got another Euro guy in an ad: Tobias Wicke;FUSE. The Nora Cup party pics have a photo of the De Jong bros in it too hiding the drinks. The winners each get an interview. Adio on tour. DMC interview with sweet historical pics. FBM takes it on the road and then we arrive at FOCUS. The mag will keep you busy for a while.
