Action Bike and R.A.D. kinda help kill the competition scene. It stopped promoting the UKBFA comps and gave the image that it was way cooler to ride street. Unfortunately rather than showing the best competition riders in the country, it pretty much showed Nick Phillips and his mates dorking around London. Shame really, as it used to be a great magazine.
But then again Freestyle BMX started going downhill when it became Invert. It stopped becoming a full on BMX magazine and more of a "Mark Noble and things he likes" magazine. Record and Gig reviews?? WTF!! I think i remember there once being a 4 or 5 page feature on the music Noble liked....

can't remember of the top of my head what number it was.
am i right in thinking they dropped the bmx part for a few issues and just called it "freestyle" (i remember the magazine just having "freestyle" down the left hand side of the covers). they kept that for a short period then renamed themselves "Invert Magazine". I think i stopped riding whilst it was still Invert. I believe (i am probably wrong about this) this is what has now become Ride??
