It rules getting BMX magazines in the mail. For a while we were on BMX Business News' list but for some reason stopped receiving it. Now we're back on so we'll do a review of the trade magazine. The Nov/X-mas issue features Jim Ford on the cover who announced his resignation with HARO just before deadline. GT goes IBD again and you can read why. Transworld put on a "Selling BMX successfully"seminar at Interbike and they'r looking back on it by this article. Jay Miron leaves the IBMXFF because he's too busy with his other projects. Chris Moeller's Guest Editorials are always a good read, if you agree with him, or not. TL looks back on the Eurobike show, SX finds new distributors, 1 question - 1 company with FIT Bike Co. Transworld also puts on the NORA CUP awards and they look back on the 2005 edition in Vegas. There's an article on Top 5 selling products and new is the exposure meter with Dave Mirra coming out on top (with a huge lead).

7 pages of Interbike highlights gives you a good idea of what went on in Vegas. Next year, be there. There's an interview with Shadow founder Ron Bonner on the limited edition Penumbra Line. Product Fix showcases some product and then it's a wrap for another BBN.
