The other day I received a new issue of Session BMX mag. To be honest every time it's a bit of a surprise it's still around. It's issue # 5 - #5 - Volume 1. Yup it shows up unregularly or they send it by boat or something because the content is pretty old before it gets here. I was stoked on seeing the
Ricardo Laguna Extreme Thing dirt comp in there but it was last year's comp, not the one that took place a few weeks ago. It's got an article on
Ryan Guettler's backyard but in all photos he still has long hair. If you don't mind looking at older content, Session can still be interesting. It has the fewest advertisements of all mags out there so that means loads of content. The pages that would be filled with ads are now filled with full page wallpaper pics. There's a 2008 Dew Tour recap, a Street Session T-Mobile report from Berlin, a Bomb Down Broadway write-up, the 2008 Santa Cruz Jump Jam report, and a full article on Phil's trails.
The S&M team went to Oz for a little tour and the March/April issue has a full article on that. The South East Idaho scene report gives Bio's to: Ben Voyles, Josh Hult, Nick Hugues, Colton Satterfield, and Bryan Shepherd. Dayton Ohio gets a scene report as well and on the Interbike 2008 trip Session mag also visited Ricardo Laguna's backyard.
If you're not looking for the latest news in BMX, Session has some decent content. If you want to know the ins and outs on BMX, come back to the FATBMX site every day. Or at least check the FAT Friday news reports every week for a 7 day update in BMX land.
