iXS is proud to launch the new Cleaver Jacket - Tailor-made protection that suits all needs. Comfortable, safe and flexible: iXS' "Cleaver Jacket" combines all these qualities. Thanks to its compact, lightweight construction it offers full freedom to move. In order to combine maximum protection and minimal density, iXS has opted for "Hex matter" material with a distinctive, hexagonal cell structure. On top of that, the waist belt features a height adjustment, and the most upper part of the spine protector can be removed for better fit when combined with a neck brace. The truly unique feature of the "Cleaver Jacket" is its modular construction, however: Depending

The D-Spyder pivotal incorporates Tioga's exclusive ergonomic contours in the seating area for greater comfort when seated and without pads or covers to rip and tear, the proprietary Carbonite composite shell makes the saddle virtually indestructible.

RIDE UK #182 is ab out to hit the newsstands. In this issue the RIDE Crew is turning back the clock. Shitty weather has started and it's all about looking forward to the next summer. But BMX continues with people taking every bit of dry weather to ride outdoors. Warm socks, gloves and a fleece hoody will help with the next session in the woods on the trails or a cruise through the city looking for spots. But then again, there are spots that never get too cold, like Austin, Texas which the RIDE crew already visited for the Texas Toast event. They even have an Odyssey Texas Toast package available for a lucky winner so make sure to check that one out. Also the RIDE crew went to Equador on an adventure that involved some BMX. What would you expect when you got off the plane in that country? Read about the trip in #182. Other articles include Profile hitting the runway and a complete Nightmare bike test. When it gets dark at 5pm, at least you'll have something to read.

The etnies Scout shoe won't be your perfect riding shoe, but it will probably do the rest. The shoe is super light and forms around your foot because of the all-mesh upper which is so breathable that air can freely flow in and out. The signature Rap Bar on the side identifies them as etnies, and the Scout’s have an elastic heel support for comfort and versatility. Because they're so light it's easy to bring a pair on your next trip and leave the flip flops at home. Available in Black and Red with Camo coming out soon.

SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. By increasing air volume inside the frame by 30%, the all new FOX AIRSPC goggle takes ventilation, peripheral vision and comfort to a new level. If you race BMX, or do the odd Stoppelcross this time of the year, your eyes need protection. Why? because you don't want that fly to get into your left eye, or your right one, it will mess up your postition. You don't want the dust, or the mud to mess up your vision. The AIRSPC also has different lens options available so

The importance of BMX media is immense. Without the magazines and websites a big part of BMX would not be told. It would be hard for the companies to reach their customers or to present their products. Jams and contests would not be reported about. Riders would not have a way to express themselves in an interview. Public riding spots would remain a secret and the news would not spread outside of your closest friends. 2020BMX magazine covers the Australian scene and does the above, and much more. Issue 49 has Jason Watts on the cover, blasting the MARKIT backyard ramps during his recent US trip. Photo by Colin Mackay. Jason gets an interview too. Ammon Chesworth's interview is done and took two years to finish up. Worth the wait? Pick up a copy and you be the judge. Tempered’s Filthy Drains event makes it’s return to bring good times and all the usual mayhem to Brisbane thanks to the hard work of Jerry Vandervalk. Andy Fortini and Kim Bloodson travel to South Africa in search of a new world. The Fox BMX Pro event at Rampfest gets covered.

DIG BMX did a Top 25 riders list on their own and voted Dennis Enarson number one. The HARO rider recently also won the NORA Cup for best ramp rider of the year and if you haven't seen the Markit video yet, make sure you get yourself a copy, it's rocking.

-Bigger features on: - Rich Forne - Ben Lewis - Geoff Slattery - Garrett Reeves.
