You can expect the unexpected from BMX Plus! In times when it's not hardcore to put Flatland on the cover of a magazine, they do. Matt Wilhelm is so stoked on it that he made this photo his profile picture on his myspace. You would be stoked too to get a cover of a magazine. Don't be afraid they completely missed the boat though as they have an article on "How to get Ready For the Street" as well. Bike tests are common at BMX Plus! and the July issue has a Hitman Ruby complete bike test, the Quamen ATL Frame test and an 18 inch complete bike shootout where they took bikes from
Hoffman, Redline and 2HIP. Plus does travel around to cover events and they've got the NBL GATOR Nats covered (opens with the best racing photo I've seen in a while), the Cam Jam and also the St. Patrick's day trails jam at
Paxton's. You can learn things from BMX Plus! Maybe you know it all but if you don't it's nice to get tips on how to bunny hop higher. Turn to page 30 for those tips.
Dave Osato's ride gets inspected, they've
got an article on the development of BMX pedals over the years, an interview with Mark Mulville, tips on tricks over the hip, a spotlight on Shad Hopkins and of course some great Moving Pictures towards the end of the issue.
Don't get scared off by the flatland cover, plenty of stuff inside.
