Action Bike
theRuler:
action bike was good until they put skateboarding in there
but the time it became r.a.d. it was a flimsy pamphlet with page after page of yawnarama skateboard pictures.
interesting to see the adverts in there though - the "hardcore" bmx shops suddenly becoming hardcore skate shops.
faze 7 is case in point
and alan's skates. suppose you gotta make a living though.
mark 2:
Reading Action bike as an adult is sometimes a bit cringeworthy - it was my favourite as a kid, and BMX Action has aged better out of all of them as a read IMO if you know what I mean.....Freestyle BMX and Bi Weekly always seemed a bit piss poor compared Action Bike at the time too though.

I thought I would never defend Joe Burlo - but Faze7 was a skate shop years before bmx even existed in this country....
As for the mag, well being bought by Robert Maxwell and then dumped didn't help. What was left was funded mostly by TLB from his own pocket (and a remortage) and was lucky to have existed at all!

Hmmmm... TLB...... the man who doesn't acknowledge taking BMX photo's in the 80's anymore....
I got on alright with TLB bitd, but the way he goes on about how he was a skating photographer in the 80's and has thousands upon thousands of pics and doesn't mention BMX at all did get me wound up a tad....
SaMAlex:
I think I remember a picture of TLB taking some pics. He was in a massive puffa jacket, taking pics of Pepi doing some rolling flatland. It was on a roof top that Pepi used to ride on up North somewhere. TLB was sat on a skateboard and Dave Curry was pushing him along so he could keep up with the action. Maybe for TLB, that counts as being a "skating photographer"!
(I hope Ive got the details of the pic right. Its just popped into my head!).
