We've been slacking on BMX and DVD reviews but sometimes there is simply not enough time available. This BBN review comes from England. The photo was taken in London and the white background is from the Ibis bath tub. The business mag was read on the plane ride and while taking a bath this morning. It's not too much of a read but interesting indeed. Dennis McCoy showed up this morning and had not seen the issue yet, in fact, he does not receive the magazine himself after trying multiple times to get on the list. Can anyone at Transworld take care of that please? Anyway, back to the mag. The cover news is about Shimano getting back into BMX with a BMX specific DXR component line. Blame the Olympics for that one. The other cover story covers the Olympics with Doug Martin being interviewed on the latest race situation. Next page has a story on Intense entering the complete bike market for 2007. Tim Gallant (QBP) writes this issue's editorial.

The [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1465]Chris Raceles (Haro PD)[/url] news is brought as is the news about Black-Out distribution extending their same-day shipping program. You have noticed by now that this is a BMX Business specific magazine that is not bringing the latest tailwhip variation. Volume talks about their 26" bar cruiser, Hoffman about Podcasting, Mongoose about the '07 Legion (formerly known as the Fuzz), UGP explains that they're committed to BMX and Supercross launches a full complete line of bikes next year.

The BBN crew called up some people to get some new kicks, clothes and accessoires. 4 pages of coverage is what they got in return. The Product fix has 2 pages of BMX products. Then Ian Morris talks about [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1520]4Down and United Bike Co[/url]. The 5 top selling products and the Exposure meter (Mirra is back on top) wrap up this issue of BBN.
