Spotted the new cover of the Albion BMX magazine on the Carhartt site. Now normally I can do a little write up when I've actually seen the magazine. Some magazines send over a full contents list and a picture of the cover of the mag even before it hits the stores. Other times I can read on the cover what's going to be inside and sum up that list before the magazine hits the doormat. BMX Plus! is a good example for that one. But what can I say about the fifth issue of The Albion? What does the cover tell me? Not much other than it's free and they're at book number 5. Bummer is that I don't get to see it either but maybe that will change with this issue (Tim?). If the mag has actually been distributed over the British bike shops already, maybe someone can bring me a copy this weekend at the European BMX Indoor race in Kortrijk, Belgium. Marco, do you read this? For sure the Albion will bring a sight to BMX from a different corner, #5 won't be any different. BdJ
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
