More than a decade ago, the premium British import was a rising BMX rider named Stephen Murray. The lionhearted racer had already earned six UK National Championships by age 16. In the States, he took to Dirt Jumping and Freestyle with mind-blowing maneuvers like double back flips and 360 back flips. He became a three-time back-to-back X Games and Gravity Games Gold Medalist, a feat unmatched to this day. Then his life took a different track. 

The other day I found a DHL slip in the mail. It said they tried to deliver a package from Rebelyell in Australia. I was bummed because it knew it was an issue of Rebelyell that I had not sen yet. To make things worse, there was a weekend in between so I had to wait till Monday before it would show up. Rebelyell magazines are that good! I get excited when I have it in my hands. It's more of a piece of art than a random BMX magazine. Just look at the cover. Not your average bright turndown photo that will sell the mag at the newsstands, is it? If you're your own publisher and have other priorities than making a lot of money by selling a lot of magazines, you can do these kind of things. But you need to have the talent too. The Rebelyell crew once again impressed me with the Random issue. The quality of the paper and the pics is incredible and the articles and layout go along with it. We're proud to have a FATBMX ad

Did you notice that the colors pink and purple are hot these days? Issue # 28 of the International BMX lifestyle magazine has an old school theme to it and like everything in life things go full circle. Back to the bright colors of the mid-eighties, back to track stands on the cover on a GT Performer with fold-out pegs, caliper brakes, and A'me grips. Gotta love it. The May/June issue of Cream goes "Back to the Converse 1988" and brings some awesome shots of Miami Hoppers, Nourie handstands and bunny hops. But it's not only about the old school, the FISE contest brought out the latest tricks this year from riders such as Dave Mirra, Chase Hawk, Alessandro Barbero, Mike Spinner, Maxime Charveron, Daniel Dhers, Mark Webb and more. Plenty of photos about the event in this issue. But Cream brings you more; Trip to Colombia, the introduction of REDBULL in France (it was about time), Portfolio by Sergio Layos, the Koxx days, Marseille bowl (still rules), Obey portfolio, a story on Cuba
