We have had the latest RIDE BMX Magazine in for a few days now, check it out online or drop in store and grab yourself a copy!
#WINNING! Just before the end of the year we gave nine Ride UK Reader Awards trophies to nine lucky winners. In this issue we talk to the winners and a whole lot more…
There are so many big features in this issue that the magazine is already liable to split away from the staples at any minute. We’ve got 14 pages of non-stop fire from the Cinema team in Barcelona. Across the pond we’ve got Mutiny running into some trouble in El Paso. We track down Loz Taylor and throw him under the spotlight and also check out a whole bunch of new UK talent. Let’s have a closer look inside…
In this issue:
Jordan Aleppo, the artist formally known as ‘Hypa-J’ gives us a ‘Bunch of Fives’.
We ask Mark Webb for his ‘Love and Hates’.
A behind the scenes with Bas Keep ‘On The Cover’
We review a tonne of parts and frames in ‘Fresh out the Box’
This months ‘Tested’ is a Fly Bikes complete bike.
We’ve got an Awards Winners package up ‘For the Win’ this month.
Jordan Waters kills it in this month’s ‘Step Up’
We’ve also got a ‘First Look’ into Oliver Jones and Jordan Okane
We ‘Catch Up’ with Rob Andrews.
Ben Basford gets the ‘What?’ treatment.
Our ‘Thought Bubble’ this month is with Corey Martinez.
We see ‘Where?’ Alex Leech is now.
And a look at ‘What They Ride’ with Mark Webb and Isaac Lesser.

This is an absolute banger of a advert! Lee Enever throws down a toothy hanger on this skinny ass rail. I take my hat off to him for firing this out first try and every time….especially in the freezing cold weather.

Sam Clayton ordered a killer wheel-set from us featuring the Tree Straight Pull Hubs. After getting hold of them built up to some dope G-Sport rims here is what he had to say:
“Managed to get out for a ride on them this afternoon, feel so fast and rigid! Had a ganders at the internals of the rear, really nicely finished driver. And all the prawls actually engage at once unlike most hubs…
Can’t thank you enough for the effort dude, most would have just shrugged off having to order some hubs they had little experience with!
Have to let you know how they hold up after a few months of abuse! Attached a picture, pretty fucking sexy I’m sure you’ll agree.

The guys from BL Industries sent me over these awesome images of a couple of their hubs, the first one is a cut away that reveals the internals. Second is the possible next limited edition colour way. Front hubs are also on the horizon, its not long now till have a full hub set available.

Somehow or another i’ve ended up a month behind posting our shop adverts. Was just about to post the Lee Enever advert that you can peep in the brand new issue 6 The Albion when i realised we’ve missed poor Cam Hardy out…
Check out this sick advert we ran in last months Ride BMX Magazine along with issue 5 of The Albion. Features Cam Hardy throwing down a incredibly tweaked one footer! Almost in the look-back position! Thanks to Motion for letting us ride and shoot.

The new issue of Ride BMX Magazine is out now, and what a banger it is. Content is spot on and its jam packed with CrucialBMX team riders, we have Cam Hardy on the cover plus then an interview explaining the deal with the cover shoot. MJ has a “first look” in there and even Max Wood gets mentioned. All information will be posted below, please pick one up when you can. You can either drop into store and collect one or even order one online HERE and i will have it posted out and with you within 24 hours…
From Ride themselves:
“This is the first issue of 2012! and we’re kicking things off with a bang!
This month we asked 32 riders what their highlight was of 2011 and who to look out for in 2012. Ending the year on a high was of course the VANS Rebel Jam in Eindhoven, Holland, which was one not to miss out on! And we also have the Mongoose UK team braving the blistering heat, bungee jumps and more down in South Africa.
Also in this months issue is…
The Source BMX’s Marc Moore tells us what he ‘Loves & Hates’
Bob Manchester gives us a ‘Bunch of Fives’
More ‘On The Cover’ behind the scenes action with this month’s cover star Cam Hardy
Loads of new parts, frames and clothing in ‘Fresh Out The Box’
‘What They Ride’ featuring bike checks with Dakota Roche and Eddie Zunda
Mike Millers actual complete Proper TTL bike is up for grabs in ‘For the Win’

The new Horsham skatepark gets a ‘Spot Check’
Michael Jordan and Sam Cunningham get a ‘First Look’
Anthony Watkinson gets asked ‘Say What?’
We ‘Catch Up’ with Drew Hossleton
Robin Fenlon tells you ‘Where are they now?’
Who would of thought that we would be shooting a cover on something as simple as a concrete block. A concrete block which is situated less then 100 meters from Ride UK HQ. About a month ago, these cold and crusty looking blocks outside the Smithfield Meat Market found themselves a new lease of life, when Berlin based street artist, Evol gave them a fresh lick of paint.
We joked about shooting a riding photo on these blocks, but there was no doubt about it though as they look pretty sweet whether you’re into “street art” or not. As the shorter-than-normal-Christmas deadline approached we needed a cover and Cam Hardy was on hand to come visit the Ride UK HQ and shoot on the transformed concrete block. Check it out!

As you know we shut early yesterday for a Crucial day out Go-Karting. We had an absolute blast down in Avonmouth with a Gran Prix style race, we had a 10 minute qualifier and then 20 minute race. The qualifier left me in 3rd place, Gary 2nd and saturday boy Charlie 1st on the starting grid. The actual race was insane, as the temperature dropped the track got a dew all over it which meant losing it in a corner was inevitable. If this happened you would of definitely been out the top running! Myself and gary ended up battling kart to kart the whole race, just imagine wacky races or something…anyway, the results:
First place was Gary, taking home £60. Fastest lap of 0:37.720 and averaging 0:42.643.
Second place was Me, taking £40. Fastest lap of 0:38.110 and averaging 0:42.645
Third place was Nick Emes, taking £20. Fastest lap of 0:38.359 and averaging 0:43.691
Massive thanks to all our staff for the great day out – Scott Summerhayes
