The German BMX mag is going steady. The latest issue has Hannuh Cools on the cover and in case you're wondering, the Belgian sky is always yellow (because of the fries and the mayonnaise and the yellow lights on the highway). Three Euros and twenty cents is a steal for a 68 page full colour BMX mag. Before you go out and subscribe to have it delivered to your doorstep, it's good to know that it's written in German. This will probably help with your German class at school so don't hold back. But what do you get? After the intro you get all kind of info in the news section. The 2006 event calendar is missing this summer's FAT-JAM (19 August) so mark that calendar now. Tons of DVD reviews, Kopp's music top 5, Freedom goes Emo article and then straight into the Backyard Jam report. The Lumberjack jam in Aurich took place without Gary Ellis there. At least he did not get a picture in the report. What's a magazine without an interview. Sig and Hannuh Cools are contest regulars from Belgium and explain what they're about in the 6 pages they get.

Next article is about architecture and BMX. Who designs those brick banks? As a young company Simple Bikes has already done some touring. Heck, they went to Japan and back. Bio: Andrej Mitic. Did you notice the FATBMX ad on page 46? Gero Deibert takes care of a Freiburg scene report. What happened to that BMX hippie from Freiburg anyway? Das Boot. Literally. A BMX jam on a boat in Belgium. Of course a Tour report these days can't fail. 12 men in one van, welcome to the Attila bikes tour. The Freedom Fahrschule teaches you how to do a feeble to hard 180. Newspaper suit not included. The flatland Fahrschule of Death shows you how to do a Karl Kruzer and page 62 and 64 have more product than you need. The embarrassing Suzuki ad has now landed on the back cover. Somebody's got to pay the bills.
