Some magazines count by numbers. If that was the case with BMX Plus! magazine, I wonder what number they'd be at. Okay, I think it's not too difficult as we're on the internet these days. First issue dates back to November 1978. That's 36 years ago. BMX Plus! arrives every month so make that times 12. The number would be around 434 if the mag actually did show up every month since the first issue. Where other mags celebrate their 50th, 100th or 200th issue, BMX Plus! will be hard to beat. And they keep going and going and going. 84 pages for the January 2015 number which has Alex Landeros on the cover shot at the Regency trails. It was a fruitfull shoot over there as some bike check pics came from the same spot. Vans Kill the Line is in here with pics from Syo. The Dew Tour in NY and the UCI BMX SX in Argentina are two more BMX events that get the coverage. Bike tests are with the FreeAgent Lodus and a 24" SE Quadangle. Landeros not
only got the cover but also his bike gets turned inside out in the Pro Bike Check. Plus travels to Hawaii for some flatland and teaches you how to do lookbacks with Regency local Fernando Sabat. Plus! gets nostalgic with Kevin Jones and they even spotted Gary Ellis. Like really?
