I like it when magazines are just numbered. That way you don't have to fool the readers with how recent your copy is and you can still sell it in the newsstands as the copy of this month. RIDE USA has released the December issue already but to my knowledge we are still in the month of October. Now that RIDE UK have gone monthly they could go by a monthly title too (this is the November issue) but why not simply call it issue 109. Man, 109 issues down and with 180 pages the fattest BMX magazine out there. It's $7 bucks (USA) well spent as the new issue has the following features:
-One man and his leg (stop whining now)
-Summer of FIT (Staying in shape with drill insructor
Rob-O)
-Staying Strong (Dirt jams for
Stephen)
-Euro Mega Fools: United Bikes (Barca again)
-Euro Mega Fools: Bicycle Union (incl.
Ashley Charles)
-Shadow team in Atlanta (doing things a little differently)
-Informer:
Merlin Mason (by the Leeds locals)
-Informer:
Kris Bennett (I love FISE)
The regulars include bike checks on
Dan Lacey's Federal and Joe Fox's S&M, 20 questions with
Niki Croft, WTF's with
Shaun Hadlington and Devon
Peril & Alki and much much more.
Ad of the month is the Vans ad with
Jon Taylor, a classic. No more Mad Jon, it's
RAD Jon from now on. Don't ask him to do a handplant next time you see him. A turn bar will do.
