RIDEBMX No. 87
Out of the UK comes the August issue of RIDEBMX. 172 pages and still no sign of the HARO UK tour report...... But what do you get? Lard sitting on a toilet smoking a bad boy. You get a bunch of news, Travis Collier-eh check-up, Derek Adams itw, Leif Valin sequence, Ali's top-5, an elephant, product info on Proper-Bulldog-Profile-Standard, Ciari and KHE parts which does not include any beer cans. There's more on the next page about Alone-Federal-G-sport-Twenty-Bicycle Union and Primo parts. 2006 is around the corner.....check out the new frames on page 54. FATBMX half-page ad on page 55-word. There's a big World's report that starts on page 56 and it does include a photo of Morgan Wade going insanely high on that quarterpipe. Mongoose takes care of the pull-out poster this time. On the road again with RoadFools 14. The Voices article has more photos than words. Then we've got a MacNeil road trip article. Did anyone notice the FATBMX logo in the Legend DVD ad? A trip to Berlin report follows and then a must read Kevin Jones interview. The Weekenders part has reports from comps/jams that happened in Brixton and the EastCoastTerminal. Steve McCann's Mongoose is inspected as is Greg Nicholson's Solid Killing Machine. Want to buy a HARO 360 or a FIT Team? Get more info on page 142. Matt Pingel used to do big sprocket stalls. Now you can learn them by going step by step according to the photos on p. 144/145. Ryan Sher was asked 20 questions and so was Crazy Baito. Colum Walsh and Shea Hoard get a full page in the WTF?-section of RIDE. There's a shoe box page with shoe info and a Laundry page with shirts, jeans, sweaters and hats that companies sent in to RIDE. You should send a letter to the mag, it looks like they could need some.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
