RIDE UK MAG
WizardWeb:
Just bought the mag and read Wilkerson's top 5. Is anyone going diving in San Diego bay to look for his old Sport? :)

I stopped buying it years ago when they stopped covering the race scene. Like many, I am against clip pedals in bmx, but like it or not they're legal and they get used by all the top pros nowadays, so Ride's reasons for not covering racing are pretty poor. They just aren't interested in catering for 'real' bmx people anymore, rather the middle class 'lifestyle' kids who care more about what new gay micro gearing or stupidly small & narrow bars are this week's must-have fashion accessory.
If Ride think that clip pedals make racing look boring then what the F*** does a constant stream of peg-grind pics say about street riding. Change the record FFS. If you've bought one Ride mag in the last ten years then you don't need to buy another, they're all exactly the same. Filled with ads, boring 'grind' pics, and every new 10lb frame looking like it came out the same factory in Taiwan. There is absolutely nothing in an edition of Ride mag that I can't find on the net, free of charge.
There was a new online race mag started last year in the USA. Isn't it about time some web-savvy bmxers on this side of the pond got together and came up with a UK or Euro web-based mag which catered for all aspects of bmxing, with some decent content???

SO WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN THERE? If it's commercially viable then they'll do it and I don't mean advertising, just if it will reach a viable audience. Do we know how many old schoolers/non clip racers are out there? Can we get some site stats? How many members etc?

fixed that for you :daumenhoch:
for me its far too focused one one small group of "friends"
anyone would think no-one outside of a "certain area" even rode a bmx,
it needs to represent the whole of the uk rather than just one "trendy" bunch,
