With BMX magazines going out of business, the last thing we were expecting to hear is that you are starting up a print mag. Why print and not another Online magazine?
Hank: It has been a very long time since South Africa has had a printed BMX Mag. I remember when the last publication was available there was a vibe- a hype around the scene. Dudes were keen to get out and put work in for photos and stories. It’s been a long time since we have had that. Web is cool, but it feels like the effort you put into a photo, written feature or video edit is only worth the few days of coverage. Then it’s gone. Forgotten… till the next thing comes along. Quality seems to be at an all-time low too, this I think is do with the short amount of time things stay in the lime-light (online).
