It's always good to receive an issue of BBN but lately the press releases make it on the internet before the trade news makes it to print. With the trade mag coming out 4 times per year, the news it brings can be a bit dated (compared to the web) but is also has articles that are timeless that you can read at any point in time. The Mirraco news made it to the cover of the March issue and at the same time HARO's Chief Operating Officer Joe Hawk gets interviewed on the situation. Haro's Tony D gets an interview as the new brand manager and Robbie Morales took Tony D's old TM job at Fox Racing and gets asked some questions about that. Can't we all just agree on one size? is what guest editor Chris Moeller is asking in the March issue. Read it and give your feedback. 01 Company-01 Question is with Colin Stiles of Transit. Ron Wilkerson explains the benefits of having BMX shows at BMX stores, and Rich Vitiello is selling billiard tables these days instead of Huffy's and Mongoose's. BNN interviewed him and Rich gives his reasons.

Bars have reached the 13 butted stage (that's handlebars), can it go further? Do we need it to go further? Calabazas Cyclery is the shop of the issue and 8 shops explain what their 5 best selling items are.
The 2006 event calendar is handy but they forgot about the [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1339]Mini FAT-JAM[/url] that's coming up this Saturday and the actual FAT-JAM on 19 August this summer.
Guess who's leading the 2006 BMXposure meter? Okay, guess again. Now again. No, it's Dennis McCoy! and all on editorial and no ads. In second we see Josh Stricker. Josh, you're popular dude, get a raise from the boss! Harrington is in third. The last page product fix pleases the advertisers and that's a wrap!
