It's the Roadtrip Issue and everything in this magazine is connected with grabbing your bike, some mates, a vehicle and getting out on the road and living life. RIDE UK has the big trips from FBM, Props Rock N Roll Tour 2, Federal, Movment, Superstar, Hot Wheels, Simple, Colony, Steve's Greyhound Bus trip round the US, a guide on how to do your own roadtrip, and an A-to-Z of Roadtrips by our man Rhys. - if F is for FatBMX, F is also for...
F is for Faffers The bane of my life. Once labelled by others as a "Monkey", a minor faffer because of naivety and lack of life experience, I saw the power of the darkside of faffmeistering. Luckily I got my act together and now my blood boils at a time-wasting airhead. Always that bit longer getting breakfast, queuing in petrol stations, leaving the skateparks, coming back from a wander at a previously unvisited street spot and that's by the time you finally get them out of bed and on the road!
You name it; the faffer can be late and unorganised for anything. The trip bully (as found under Q) has two uses here: unifying the group in their attempt to plot against him, and the other is to hurt the faffers.
