Pro‐tec helps you go bigger and ride longer with helmets and pads for skate, bike, snow, and water. While their roots with the Pro‐tec Classic go back to the beginnings of skate and BMX, they continue to innovate with technology, such as SXP multiple impact lining and the “Swing Lock” adjustable fit system to go along with a style that keeps their gear as popular today as it was in the early 70s.

2020 seems to have it figured out. 164 pages of BMX is stacked in their 39th issue.

It's April and BMX PLUS! magazine just released their June cover. I spotted it on Facebook on the mobile so I wanted to get it on the site. When I checked the mail I had the cover waiting in the Inbox. Jeremy Pavia sent it over and it's got S&M's AJ Anaya on the cover who already got a video clip online earlier today. What was missing was the complete contents list so I surfed over to the BMX Plus! website to see it. But their "current issue" was the May issue so I was out of luck there. Now I have the cover photo opened in Photoshop so I'll look at the cover lines to see what the June issue has to offer. Here's what I can find:
-Size matters: Should you be on an 18"?
-Kelly Bolton interview: "We need to get our act together"
-Cam White's Massive Hillside Jam
-ABA Gator Nationals: Speed's Elites can't be beat
-Win a $ 599 Redline Covet

The new issue of Ride UK should be on the shelves of your local shop shortly. This issue’s cover features Lima riding one of his favourite spots at his Winter getaway location, Austin, TX whilst staying at the Relentless House. While inside the mag Ride's got everything covered, from the first photos of Harry Main riding again after an injury that nearly crippled him, BSD and FBM on the latest Megatour, the BSD Nike 6.0 Bowl Jam at Unit 23, to the Odyssey team hitting up the Blackpearl skatepark on the Cayman Islands. Don’t forget the regulars too, including an Informer with Matty Worthington, Haro and Premium go to Scotland, Scott the Punk gets to answer 20 Questions, BSD owner Grant Smith gives us his Top 5s, Alex Coleborn hands in his disposable camera, Joss Fenn tells us what’s What? And that’s not all.

Save up a few quid and get this issue when you see it.
