CASE BMX is a new print magazine from the UK. In the editorial of the first issue Mike Netley wrote the following: "No cover price, good quality content, well thought-out and designed articles and a good form of distribution resulting in a wide circulation. Basically reaching out to the masses with a good quality magazine, that's what Case is about."

This means that the free magazine can be picked up at your local BMX shop if they carry it and who wouldn't grab a free 84-page full colour BMX mag off the racks? If you wanted to make a magazine back in the day you ended up doing a xeroxed 'zine. This first issue by Mike Netley is the real deal. People like Mark Noble, Vincent Perraud, Fraser Peek and Jeremy Muller contributed to the first issue which is distributed by Profile Racing in the UK.

"Ken Je Sport" (know your sport) is a series of books aimed at the 12-14 year olds. There is also a BMX version of the book, written by Chris Job. It's got some older action photos in it of Jamie Bestwick, Steve Grace, Stephan Prantl, and a bunch more. Early 90-s we're guessing. Chris tells about the history of the sport, the several

Many SNAFU distributors in select markets already have the new 1 lb., 15 oz. heat-treated and taper-butted Pickle Fork in stock, and those that don't will be getting them very soon. Sub-2-pound BMX forks are all the rage right now, and Fit's Shiv is among the first and most popular of the breed. The Shiv is awesome for trail and tech street, but its dropouts are too thin and too small to accept pegs. The SNAFU Pickle Fork has 3D relief CNC'ed 4130 dropouts that are designed to fit pegs perfectly. The steer tube on the Pickle Fork is one-piece extruded and machined with rifle-butted internal flutes. Finishes include the black ED you see here, or paint to match Snafu's Mayweather cranks.

SNAFU team riders Mike Babbel, Jeremie Infelise and Dan Norvell have been riding prototype versions of the Pickle Fork for months,
