I wrote a report for the OS Grands at Preston in May 2009.

It never appeared in any future mags and I never heard back from the editor.

The magazine dropped through the letterbox this morning and I got a shock.

Along with coverage of the 2009 UCI BMX Worlds in Australia, 2009 Australian Championships, 2009 NBL Grands, UCI Supercross World Cup in Copenhagen, ABA First State Nationals and Euro 'Cheddar' Rounds 13/14 there was my article about the Preston Old Skool Grands at North Region BMX Regional - Round 3 at Preston.

Unfortunately all my spelling and grammar mistakes are left in the article.   But on the plus side theres some great piccys of Dubber, Diggler and MotomagII and the rest!!

Shame that the article also mentions that OS will be at the Brits in 2009 as a recognised class!!  >:(

I had to write it quick because the editor said he needed it quick!!

So I rushed it..............hence the spelling mistakes and other stuff!!

Then I never heard out from him so I thought he'd never use it!!

Just be glad I didn't put Harry Beard!!  :D

I sent Roger Wilbraham a letter to the BMX Commission about OS because the meeting was on Thursday.

I sent him and email tonight showing this article and then asked what went on with my letter and the comission!!

I've sent the editor an email to see if I can get hold of a few copies.

If you like BMX magazines then you can always subscribe.   If you do it now then you should get this issue as your starting issue (but you need to check first).

I'll let you know when the editor gets back to me!!

He's really keen on the OS as he used to race BITD and he did a 2 part article on the Aussie OS Scene with part 2 being in this issue.

We'll do another article for next years OS Grands and also we should do an article about MK10 too!!

If you definitely want one then add your name to the list :-

Are there any dates or likely weekends for MK10 and OS Grands next year?
Also is there likely to be any OS at the Bob Fields Grands? (I didn't see a category listed for it)

Bradshimmin liked the OS Grands article on VintageBMX!!

http://www.vintagebmx.com/community/index.php'showtopic=27038622&view=findpost&p=902347

Cheers Brad!!  :daumenhoch:

I haven't heard back from the editor yet, so I tried emailing them through their website.

According to VintageBMX they have only put out 4 issues this year and it should be Bi-Monthly.

So they might be having problems.

So it might be hard getting hold of some spare issues!!!  :-\

The cost of 20 issues is £4 each (£80) and postage to the UK is £90 due to the weight.

That makes each issue £8.50 if they got stung by customs on the way in.

I have asked for the cost of each issue being sent individually as it might be cheaper than all of them being stuck in one box.

Does anyone have a problem if the magazine ends up costing around £10 (if customs bite)?

I have just paid £170 for 20 mags

They said they only had 20 magazines to spare and they wouldn't let me have any more!!

So the cost so far is £8.50 per magazine.    He said he'll keep the value down and mark it as magazines etc, etc so hopefully I dont get stung customs so any further costs wont be added to the £8.50 (I hope)

Mark Huddart was down for 2 mags............he is now down for just 1 magazine!!

The problem is that there is only 20 magazines for 22 people.

Some people might say first come, first serve.  To which I say..................bollocks.

The people that attended the OS Preston Grands get moved to the top of the list.   They deserve to get priority because its a nice souvenir of the event that they can show their great grandchildren that they were once gnarly and rad when all they can do at that age is wet themselves and eat soft foods like jelly.

So I have changed the order of the list to reflect that.   If you dont like it then please slap me the next time you see me.

BMX World Issue #20 Nov-Dec 2009 List
            Name         No of Copies

17PeterJ1
Non-attendence
18Andyrooski1
19Weavill1
20BMXBoy701
21MattFX811
22Cotty1
Total22

The first 17 names on the list will get priority on the magazines and the last 5 names will be in the order they posted their interest.

As it stands at the moment MattFX81 and Cotty will not receive a magazine.   :'(

I expect this situation to change.  When it comes to paying for the mags then some people might not want them or be too stingy to stump up the coinage etc, etc.

Hopefully I dont end up paying for several magazines out of my own pocket.

If there is anyone that has changed their mind about wanting a mag and wishes to be taken off the list then LMK so I can bump Matt and Cotty up the list.

I know just hope the magazines dont get lost in the post!!!  :shocked:

Post by: moley on January 10, 2010, 01:48 PM
Wait until I get the magazines first, so I can work out the final cost per mag.

Its printed in the US but I paid a sub-editor the £170 who is in Australia (he had a paypal account whereas the Editor didn't) so I'm not sure where the mags are coming from.

Hopefully they'll arrive before Lytham.

If your going to Lytham (if its still rideable after next weeks snowy forecasts etc, etc) then I will hand out most mags and get cash in't hand.

Anyone who needs the mags posting then I'll work out the extra costs when they arrive.  :daumenhoch:

The 20 issues of BMX World Magazine Issue #20 have arrived.

£8.50 each by Paypal Gift or Cash On Delivery at Lytham.

If anyone wants it posting then I could work out the cost for you but I will only send Recorded delivery and it will probably add around £2 to the price (postage plus summat to post the mag in etc, etc)

If you can get someone to pick up the mag from Lytham and hand deliver to ya then all the better.
