Start
A giant curved transition wall in the desert and two riders—one of which is on a motorcycle…

Up Front
Sponsor Block, Injured List, and Fine Print… you’re best source for accurate information in the world of BMX.

Pro Q&A: Trey Jones
Straightedge, Florida, pegs, black shoe slime—you know… the usual things people talk about…

Products
Chromoly, chro-mo, cromo—porn for chromosapiens.

Soft Goods
Sweet lookin’ BMX attire from S&M, Stolen, Profile, Kink, Vans, Animal, Odyssey, Skavenger, and Fit.

Diversions
A glimpse into some of the digital tunes on Dan Lacey’s iPod, as well as the Rad Rides BMX bike history book and a write up on Empire’s Bad Idea.

Focus
Chris Finnigan, Zach Krejmas, Jackson Ratima, Nate Richter, and Bobbie Altiser all got rad in front of our cameras and in turn, got printed on these pages.

Bio: Jonesy Fedderson
If you’re from Utah and you ride BMX, you’re cool in our book, plus Elf had some nice things to say about Jonesy, too.

Letters
Three thought provoking letters and a sweet lookin’ photo.

Finish: Aaron Ross
Never one to be short for words, Aaron helps us bring this issue to a close.
