FEATURES

It has been a while since there was a BMX magazine available in The Netherlands. It all started with Fietscross magazine, then BMX Trickx, and I'm sure there have been some other efforts to get an issue or two printed. FAT 'zine wasn't a full colour A4 sized BMX magazine but Serious BMX seems to be all that. Available next week and focused on BMX racing. The premiere issue has a report about the Leatt Brace test day in Wijchen, race reports from the Supercross in Madrid, the UEC rounds 6&7, TC 1,2,3, the Dutch Championships in Kampen and the NFF NK in Nuland. Issue 1 has some interviews too so it will be interesting to see how the mag looks.

If you're curious too and can't wait, there's some subscription info on their website. They're charging € 17,99 Euros for the first two issues combined, delivered to your Dutch doormat. We appreciate the effort and wish them good luck. They'll need it.

Why does a website in The Netherlands have to be the first ones showing what's inside the new issue of BMX Plus! magazine? Maybe because we're on it. Nasty scores the cover with a style that has put him on the front page of a magazine before. We've listed 5 of them after the jump. Some of them go way back. Good to see Nasty dawg still at it. Other dirt legend, TJ Lavin gets the double spread contents page and here's the list:

Events: Old School Reunion, JomoPro, BMX Racing in Texas

Bikes: Sunday Funday Pro, HARO Forum Pro Lite, FBM Steadfast

Features: I Love My Bike, On the Spot with Josh Betley, Pro-Spective, On the Move, T-Shirt buyer's guide, Tech Tip, How to get sponsored, Inside the Pros' bikes with Dane Beardsley,

The contents list of the new issue of Cream informs you that it's stacked again. Spend a few Euros on the mag. Here's what's inside:
-Best of Rob Darden
-Extreme Thing in Vegas
-Jomopro
-Rooftop and the Gumball 3000 race
