Just before the weekend the new issue of BMX Plus! drops in the mail. The weather this weekend isn't looking too good so this might come in handy. But where do we start? With the UCI BMX SX World Cup race report from Manchester? Or the HARO SD V2 test report? We used to go straight to the news section of the magazine but the internet has taken over that part. Did you know Sam Willoughby's B-day is when he is in Sweden for the World Cup in August? We just found out because it's in BMX Plus! There's also a new page where you can even get a photo in BMX PLUS! Follow them on Instagram @bmxplusmag and add the hashtag #bmxplusmailbag in your photo and you've got the chance to show up in the print version. Dillon Leeper gets put on the spot, DeGroot has his two pages and reports about Trey Jones' backyard. Alex Rabal shows five tricks to do on the Subrosa rail. Woodward West hosted an Open Am comp and Ryan Guettler takes care of the report. Have you ever put a press-fit BB in your frame? Unless you're a racer, you probably haven't.
The how-to on pages 40-41 shows you how to install that BB. There's Fly Paper, a Recon Tour Stop 1 report, a bike check with Amanda Carr's Redline and a whole lot of T-shirts in the T-shirt Buyer's Guide. The Nostalgia page is with non other than Florida's Rob Nolli. Product Probe this month: Fly Spronghanger Brakes and the Subrosa Street rail. Trick Stuff came in from HARO, FOX, S&M, Cult, etnies, ODI, Colony and United. When you get to Showcase funnies you know the end of the mag is near. But not until Drew Bezanson throws the bars on a bomb drop from the fence at Simple Session (Parting Shot).
