Some magazines just follow the trendy people, do some interviews and road trips and are happy that another month has passed by. At Cream they do it a little different. They are the creators of the scene and since they're based in Paris, they've got a good view on fashion too. But next to bringing you the trendy Paris fashion they also have loads of BMX stuff in the mag. After some regular articles (Editorial, TOC, contest schedule, nusic reviews, product news, and a Patoch column) the mag speeds up into a Simpel Session report. Julien Muguet's portfolio gets opened followed by a 6 page Homeboy report on Arthur Dietrich who currently lives in England. A trip from Colombia to Panama will bring some good stuff. Raphael Chiquet made the journey and reports about it in the March-April 09 issue. Portfolios with photographers will result in great photos for the mag. Hannes Ortmann provides some of his favorites to fill pages 44-49.
