Why would you buy a magazine? Because you can learn from it. BMX Plus! has always been an informative magazine with trick tips, tech tips, how to pimp your bike for a few bucks etc. If you're just starting out, you can use this sort of information and BMX Plus! gives it to you. The November issue is full of it and also has a selection of the 2014 bikes that are now making it to the dealers floor. Two of the best BMX trainers (Jamie Staff and German Medina) give you a few tips on how to progress your level. Linear brake cables get presented, lots of them. Two bikes get tested to show you if they're made for you. The FIT Aitken and Anarchy Riot got put through the test. The Tech Tip is about rebuilding unsealed hubs. I can't explain how many times we had to do that before we could afford the sealed bearings. Learn from it. Do you want to get sponsored? Mike Day tells you all about it in his monthly column. And then there are the events in the mag, the UCI World Champs in NZ and the Vans invitational at Huntongton Beach. Plus the news, the flashbacks, etc. 
100 pages of BMX for free. Doesn't sound too bad, does it? It's in French so if that's not your native language, you better work on it, or look at the photos instead. Fugure has made it to issue 7 on a timely basis. It's their Autumn magazine which has an interview with new Premium rider Tom DeVille. They youngster from the South of France rips it up in the streets for the 11-page interview. 12 pages on the "Get Used To It" video follows and Joris Coulomb was a big help getting this article done. 13 pages of BMX in Greece are up next. BMX and traveling go hand in hand. Sometimes it's the unknown which attracts the most. 15 pages on the Shadow Conspiracy crew follows so you know Ronnie B is stoked on Figure #7 as well. The winning photo of the smart phone contest can be found on page 76 followed by the Vans Kill The Line contest report. Figure also catches up with Maxime Charveron and dives straight into a product section. What's next? The Winter issue. Out on December 15th. But for now, 
BMX Racing doesn't make it on the cover of many BMX magazines. But BMX Plus! made is happen for the month of October 2013. Riley Stair takes on two HARO riders in SLC and makes it on the front page. Inside we've got plenty of articles to keep you occupied. Bike tests with Eastern's Reaper and Diamondback's Session Pro to start off with. Plus! also went to the Dew Tour and came back with a report. And that cover with Kurt Pickard and Nic Long on it was shot at the Great Salt Lake Nationals BMX race. Find the report inside. No mag without a road trip report and Plus! jumped on board with the Hart & Huntington crew. Sarah Walker's Avanti race bike gets inspected as well as Dan Foley's Premium BMX. Mike Day has a column in BMX Plus! and wrote the All Day, Every Day article. S&M's Cameron Wood gets put on the spot and we're going back in time with John Purse in the Nostalgia section. Just add the Tech Tips, Moving Pictures, Product Probe, and the Showcase Funnies and you've got

The ODI Longnecks are probably the best grips ever made. They are still selling like crazy due to the rubber that they're made of. The quality control is of a high standard which makes the grips a good item to spend your money on. In fact, when money comes in, there's room for a team to promote the products. ODI doesn't hold back here. Kevin Kiraly, Alex Raban, Jeff Cadger, Larry Alvarado and Tony Malouf are featured in Black Book, a video produced by ODI in the Los Angeles area. The team searches for spots in and around LA and they all kill it. Next to the 5 featured riders, there's more footage from riders like Sean Morr, Mark Rubio, Victor Galindo, Kirk Shearer, Cory Midget Walters, and Patrick Taber. Maybe not the most well known pro riders out there right now but the talent is definitely there.
The main feature sections are:
