I just grabbed a few copies from Barnes and Nobles.... I think every one of us should buy a copy or two to show support...
there were some things i liked and some i didnt
I just think that the writers with any magazine covering freestyle should at least reach out to the riders, or let someone who knows what the **** is going on do some editing when referring to the technical aspects of what we do
dislike- referring to bars as things to help riders from tipping over
---sounds uneducated---
like- talking about the yamaha motoGP bike saying that it has reduced engine brake "good if you want to reduce wheel hop when downshifting, bad if you are using engine brake to find the balance point while wheelieing"
----sounded very educated and impartial----
dislike- seeing the same old pics and info that have been in Mike Seates book and Street and Strip a hundred times
Miami Warriors this month, next month we are gonna see the Knee Draggin Mafia!!!!!
also there were some references to teams that were wrong, like DTE is from Michigan, or that Chauncey is with DTE
I like the magazine, i would have appreciated some more investigation on the part of the writers... send the articles to one of us before they get printed so we can check for accuracy
the only pic in the whole mag that really compares to fotos is the one of chauncey No handed...
I also would have liked to see the riders in the pics get thier names and websites mentioned.......especially the cover.... how are you going to put dan jackson, or anyone, on the cover and not say who it is???
all in all I suppose that is what this first issue is all about... throw something together and see how it does
either way, the fact that someone at Primedia took notice is impressive, I just hope that they will contact some of the right people and take the time to learn about us that way they can print stuff thats accurate

lol...Just another company tryin to capitalize on a new and up-coming sport. A magazine put together by people who have no f'n clue whats goin on. Do a little more research before you start another. Here's an idea. Hire people who actually know what the f is goin on. People who actually are involved......Not just some journalist lookin to fill paper.

I like how a bunch of the bikes in the magazine have StuntLife.com stickers on them, there is a picture with the StuntLife.com trailer in the background... and no mention of our beloved home here.... sniff sniff
I agree with Thomas. Especially about helping to promote some of the groups with links to thier websites.
It was cool to walk into Wal-Mart and see pictures of my friends and coverage of the evenets we goto in a magazine there.
Im still partial to Asphalt as there was a 2 1/4 page article on Stunlife there LOL
All I know is that Ill get a subscription to this, Asphalt and Street Style....

Just picked up 5 copies today way up here in MSP. Passin' them out to some buddies.
Just flipped through it a little so far. Not bad for the premier issue. I definately will subscribe when it becomes available.
I do agree with some of the other folks on this thread though. Gotta get out and do extensive interviews from the folks who are puttin' stunnin' on the map.

I hope the magazine does well. But it seems like they are just putting anything that doesn't fit in Sportrider in it. Works for me but how many of the stunters are interested in stretched, slammed Busas.
