20 years ago there was a need for a new magazine in the USA. BMX Plus! was around, but not much else. Brad MacDonald took on the challenge and started up the magazine from his bedroom while finishing school along the way. Many BMX magazines have come and gone the last two decades, but RIDEBMX is still cranking out several issues per year. Time for some celebration. Here's what the crew had to say about their latest issue:Yes, believe it or not, Ride BMX has been around for 20 years now—and has inspired multiple generations of riders along the way (and making those of us who remember when the first issue came out feel kinda old, but also proud for being involved with something we love for this long). As a celebration of this milestone, as you can tell from the cover,
we took a departure from our traditional format and features lineup and decided to dedicate this issue to the riders whose influence helped shape BMX the most over the past 20 years. Who made the 20 Most Influential list? We’re not going to spoil it here… In addition to naming the most influential riders of Ride‘s time, we handpicked a selection of iconic photos from past issues for our Focus Flashback pages.
You’ll also find a rad pull-out poster courtesy of Rockstar Energy Drink inside. Whether this is your first issue of Ride, or your 185th, we hope that after reading it and checking out the photos, you feel inspired, motivated, and most importantly—psyched on BMX. Here’s to 20 more years, and beyond!

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
