Issue 48 delves deep into the recovery process in our Creaky Future feature to see how injury and comeback is handled by some very well known riders including Ryan Lloyd, Paul Langlands, Claw and all intro’d by one that knows all too well the consequences of crashing; Alex Liiv. We go traveling with an intrepid crew through the highest country on the world; Nepal and locally with the Colony team on their epic Follow the Lines tour of the east coast. Interviewed this issue is the infamous Jack Birtles whose originality on both sides of the lens is nothing short of inspiring and his well deserved cover is definitely one of the raddest yet. Then we head into the backyards of both Cam White and the Kerr Brothers to see what a few thousand hours and a shovel can do for your garden along with hitting up the latest jams from around the country. And you've got the chance to win a Colony Sweet tooth frame.

Things have shaken up over at the RIDE UK staff, but issue 178 is almost here and it's their annual Ride To Glory issue. Team Premium came out the winner so it's a big issue for them. You can read about the other teams in the contest too. Did Vans lose their log book once again? What happened to the FOX crew? Was team Stay Strong actually staying strong? And where did travel team number one United end up? Each team got a list of things that needed to be taken care of to score points. You can see how team Premium won it. The mag comes with a DVD too so if you want to watch the issue, just put that DVD in the player and hit the triangle.

That's Chris Smith on the cover spinning his bars in a fullpipe in Manchester, England. Issue is out on Friday July 12th.
