The Albion magazine is always a good read. Getting your hands on it is the hard part, but they've got that covered by posting up the old issues online. They're up to issue number six right now but let's face it, it's much better to have a copy in your hands, than trying to read it on the computer. I'm not a fan of that and hardly ever do it that way. Even the tablet doesn't cut it for me. You only get the feeling of a magazine by holding it in your hands and flipping through the pages.
The Albion number eleven is out now and yet again it's free. You can pick one up at the better BMX shops if you're lucky enough there's one near you that has them. The Albion always does different things for their cover and the new one is as weird as some of the other covers of the BMX magazine. I like it, but just don't judge the book by its cover as there's BMX inside, and no demolition derby car racing.
