Man I appreciate it when people go out of their way to get a good cover. Welcome to RIDEBMX May 2006. That title you see in the cover photo is an actual billboard and Gary Young is footplanting it. You can tell by the table that San Diego's Gary comes from the school of Vic Murphy. Sweet. The May issue happens to be the Photo issue. I thought every issue of RIDE was a photo issue already. It's a quick read but at least I can say I read the issue, something that's harder to claim on some of the fellow BMX mags. RIDE is on top of things though and the (photo) quality is high. Find out who's stuck in the bathroom creating a mess. It's over dude. Here's the contents, stolen from Ride's Myspace:

Features
Private Property: Nyquist's Unit: It's big, odd shaped, and covered in Skatelite.

A Year in the Life of Jeff Z: That's a whole lot of fruit, vegetables, and wretched farts.
Focus: This is the photo issue, so welcome to the 32-page edition of Focus.

Departments
Letters: The frequently asked questions edition!
Up Front: Sometimes we make the news up. Seriously.
Pro Q&A: Morgan Wade. Morgan is probably bleeding as you read this.
Diversions: Adam Banton's music and Mike Ardelean's gripes about hip-hop.
Spots: Santa Ana Banks: Even The Gonz has ridden them.
Products: We would have had a pair of MP3 sunglasses this month, but someone stole them.
Setups: Ian Schwartz: Pegless, brakeless, and freecoaster equipped.
Product Test: These products get an F-! Not really.
Steps: Fakie Hitchhiker Whip: Flatland is straight up difficult.
Bio: Craig Billingsly: Unfortunately, Craig has nothing to do with the lovely town of Billings, Montana.
End Point: Multiple tailwhips, a tailtap, and coming in backwards.
