In the time we were on the road we received a bunch of stuff in the post. In one of the envelopes we found the new issue of BMX RIDER. #5 it is. Here's what's hidden behind the cover:
Issue 47 has just landed from the printers and is rolling with heat thanks to Calvin Kosovich's massive feeble gracing the cover. There's more of his big riding and thoughts on the world inside along with interviews with Jack Kelly and JP Chavez. New Zealand content is huge with Roast it and The Farm Jam plus an epic pedal undertaken on BMX’s on the South Island. We also get to the bottom of why theres a whole slew of DVD’s coming out this year here in Australia. All this and a whole lot more faces, places and products that make up the Australian BMX scene including a look at Industrail’s hand built frames coming out of Western Australia.
The Albion Issue 13 is available in the UK from April 5th and has some new cover artwork by Richard ‘FRENCH’ Sayer which has not much to do with the Albion being a BMX magazine. Is the state of BMX in such a bad shape? the content will brighten things up.
Our Easter will be colder than out Christmas. Needless to say, it's chilly out there right now. FOX Europe has all kinds of clothing that will keep you warm when riding in tank tops isn't an option just yet. Eight new items are shown in the photo on the right. The sweater will keep you warmer than the woven shirts, but you know that sun will come out at some point.
Victor Salazar gets the cover of “BMX Plus! May 2013. The unfortunate rider broke his arm in Tallinn but now has something to look at while he's recovering from injury. What else is in the new issue? Fresh stuff every month from the Hi-Torque crew:
HARO's 300.1 complete bike comes in Gloss Metallic Black, Matte Electric Blue, and Matte Silver and it's an incredible ride for an MSRP tag of $ 379.99. You can choose from two top tube sizes: 20.5"and 21" so you know it will fit you well. The bike weighs in at 25.75lbs. If you use the online lbs x KG converter like I just did you will see that it's the same as 11,680 kilograms.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
