A new month, a new issue - and the February 2008 issue of Ride BMX has just hit the shops... I could talk about the weather, last night's TV, or the colour of Mike Miller's bike, but instead, let's cut to the chase. What you really want to know is, what's in the mag? Again, our Regular Pages are packed enough to make a stand-alone BMX mag on their own - UK news, USA news, an interview with Duo/Verde's Steve Buddendeck, an interview with Thecomeup's

Adam Grandmaison, a ton of DVD reviews, Top Fives with Will Jackson, Firing Blanks with Owain Clegg, Six Minutes with Liverpool videographer Rich Wilson, photos from 4Down and Mutiny Premieres, 2007 Intrikat Jam, Product Reviews, Frame Reviews, an essay on Legalising Trails, a comp to win a package of Zoo York clobber, and tests on the Premium 3Ring and the new Trail Series Team from Fit Bike Co. At the back, we feature Geoff Slattery, Mark Nash, Danny Mac, Corby's big new indoor skatepark, a bridge in Jesmond Dene, and the iconic BMX Bandits movie... And then there are the features...

Cover: What happened before? What did he do into this trick? Where did he get on to the rail? Where did he come off? What happened next? See all in Dolecki's Digital Evolution article in Ride BMX no.112. Davey Watson, toothy hanger mid sequence! (Last week's cover boy Randy Taylor has been picked up by etnies. Povah's stoked)

Interview - Marv: How many riders does it take to interview Marv? Well, find out here - and find out what Marv thinks of various riders, sponsorship, video parts and other people's reputations...

Digital Evolution: Rob Dolecki collected a group of today's finest riders and fired his digital armoury at them - what we end up with is an article featuring the best sequences out right now...

Mike Hoder Interview! "For the most part I don't feel the need to look up to people, 'cause I'm not trying to be like anyone." All this, and more...

The Ride Quarterpipe Challenge: Steve Bancroft had an awesome idea: get a varied dozen of the UK's BMX pros together with a pile of wood and and a bunch of powertools, sit back and watch them work together to build a quarterpipe, and then come back the next day to capture the riding jam. It worked a treat: here's what went down!

Night Riders: Jared Washington, Skinny, Frank Macchio, Rah, Marlon Europe, Oba Stanley and Nigel Sylvester and photographer Keith Terra hits the night streets...

Interview - Ryan & Dylan Smith: These two brothers have been quietly going about their business in Texas, and slowly but surely blowing up the place. Devon Hutchins catches up with them...
