Reason for 2024 to get things going. The premiere issue has the following articles:

Shovel hands. I can say I got some at the minute. Countless hours were spent at the trails lately because the weather has been great, the jams are coming up, and the spots needed some new jumps. But it's not about the calluses on my hands from working that shovel here, it's about the Deluxe Grips. These babies are thick (30 mm), soft, and 15 centimeters wide. Your bike will feel different when you throw a pair of these on it. If you prefer thick grips, these Shovelhands

Pro-Tec sent over a package with pads, gloves and helmets for the upcoming ONK at the Helm Trails. It's rough seeing kids kill themselves not wearing any protectiong gear so even if you don't have the money for it, these Pro-Tec items will be given away at the 2011 Open Dutch BMX Dirt championships on 1 May. That includes the collaboration helmet that Pro-Tec did with Odyssey, some Hands Down gloves, Pinner LT elbow pads, Gravity knee pads and the Cyphon bike helmet. Protect yourself and keep going.

The latest edition features the Spring/Summer 2011 collection in focus, presents the latest news, stories behind the brand and current projects. It includes an editorial photo shoot with Jamie xx from the British band The xx, followed by an extended interview. A large retrospective honours all artists who have participated in our illustration campaigns until today. The exclusive photo shoot by Shauna T. from P.A.M. highlights our Women Spring/Summer

The very first issue of A.R.T. BMX magazine arrived in the mailbox today. ART stands for Attitude, Riding and Travel which has the main ingredients of BMX covered. The size is a bit smaller than most mags, but it feels good when you hold it in your hands. It's a little bigger than a 'zine so the photos still come out good. ART is about BMX worldwide. They cover pretty much any BMX event that is happening on this globe through contributions to the mag and because of their big staff. It's good to see Mat Hoffman on the cover. The man deserves all respect he gets. When is the last time you saw a vert cover on a BMX mag? Based in Paris the ART crew does things their own way, with their own attitude.
Issue one has 148 pages and sells for 6 Euros. Zoom into the cover to see what events made it in the mag.
