We've got so many magazines and videos laying around that we're trying to make it through the stack. If you sent something in, be patient, it will probalby take a while but we can only try. The April issue of BMX Plus! arrived last week and it's got a super light bike on the cover. At 18 lbs it's one of the lightest and once you hop on this machine it will be a piece of cake to pull that triple whip to fufanu. It's all in the bike you know. Wade Lajler gets the contents page with a rad double footplant tailwhip in an igloo. Gotta check that one. All kinds of news, reviews, b-day calendars and the usual BMX Plus! items can be found in the Inside Scoop section. The 18 lbs bike gets reviewed, there's a race how-to on "the first jump" (how to take it fast) before the Premium complete bike gets tested. BMX PLUS! isn't afraid to post flatland articles or do reports on flatland contests/jams. Love, Passion, Flat is a 5 page report on the Long Beach jam. Amanda Geving's bike gets inspected and some girls are showing off some Zip-up threads. Which one do you like best?

8 pages of Dustin Guenther will teach you what a nice guy he is. Pro interview, bro. Tech Tip: spot for cracks on your frame. Bike Test: Hoffman Bikes Rhythm EL2. Rob Wise takes you through the Fufanu step by step. Bandana not included. Huber's Mankind frame (Kingdom in this case) gets tested by Americans. They seem to like it.

BMX Plus! covers racing as well. Page 70 is where the NBL Christmas Classic report starts. Ben Snowden teaches how to do "Over tricks" in the how-to on page 76. That's three tricks you can learn by reading the April issue. The Moving Pictures part of the mag shows great shots that deserve to be blown up. Bobby de Laat's spread should have been the poster for everyone who loves trails.

Product Probe: Demolition hubs and MacNeil Silencer Bars. Trick Stuff: 2-Hip pivotal seat and post, Kaos # plate, Hoffman shirts, FIT Blade forks, Fly racing JB bars, Square1 belts, 43 Bolts, Pryme Hoodie and Premium's red spoke wheel. Lots of products on two pages. Ariel Greer fails to impress the ladies when his tailwhip out of the park over the fence went wrong.

That's 100 pages of BMX Plus! for you. Their website has a new design too so check it if you feel you missed out not seeing this issue. Subscription info should be there somewhere.
