Over the weekend I heard somebody ask if BMX Plus! magazine was still around. The answer is yes. Here's issue No. 5, Volume 30, May 2007. Yup, the mag has got some history. Anthony Napolitan gets the cover and Heath Pinter turns down the double contents page. Inside Scoop brings the B-days (we've been slacking on those), and all the latest news in BMX land. Stunt Junkie Alistair Whitton grinds upside down. We've got that video up somewhere on the FATBMX site. You're on a tight budget but what do you do? Haro F1 or Magna Torrid. BMX Plus! put both bikes to the test.

The BMX Plus! riders of the year are:
-Dirt jumper of the year: Ryan Guettler
-Freestyler: Ryan Nyquist
-Racer: Bubba Harris

The ABA Silver Dollar National BMX race gets 8 pages of coverage. Who says racing is not being covered? Hucker gets the poster and is stoked. The How-to of the month is a 270 over the hip. Stumpy's GT receives a thorough inspection. Gary Young's Macneil frame gets tested and there's a tech tip on how to make your bike look cool. Jared Eberwein knows how to do no-handers. Read more about him in his Bio on page 62-66. You want a race bike? read the Felt Sector Pro X test report.

We like it when riders are making a living off of doing something they like. Gabe Weed receives an interview on his Open Ground skatepark. Michael Cleveland's Mirraco Fivestar gets inspected. Moving pictures are great to the eye. If you're looking for an NBL track near you, check the NBL listings. There are a lot of products listed before 11 years old Perris Benegas deservingly gets the parting shot of the May 2007 issue.
