I never thought id say this but ride has gotten a lot worse since the nobles left.

and that’s saying a lot, they’re total douches. english kids are ugly fuckers.

True. I can’t believe its only taken 4 issues for it to get so shit.

bmx has a lot of ugly people

FUCK ME ! THATS THE UGLIEST COVER I THINK I’VE EVER SEEN !
TIME TO CALL IT A DAY. YOU’VE HAD A GOOD RUN.

where are the young blacks

shitest cover of all time.

american cock sucker’s i would call use that have commented above

a whole issue of bike checks? is that it?

What the fack do you know? the Nobles were the worst thing about Ride BMX!!! END OF. They made it fuckin shit for years then sold it out when they finally realised they hadnt got a clue! UK STAND UP

sucks to be the kid in the bottom right

lol @ harrison’s comment
i dont see what the big deal is
cover seems fine, just trying something new, catching your eye

no cox(s)? bedford? blyth? voices? tommorow we work? have ride seen them? id say at best 7/25 as good role models for riding i would like to see

^^agreed

a bunch of white ass motherfuckers. racist ass magazine. oh put anyone with a slight tan on the cover and sales might drop huh?

fuck a UK

Has anyone ever heard the phrase; “Never judge a book by its cover”

To quote from Tropic Thunder “Never go full retard…….”

Ride is the best mag out lads what you chattin! How do you know it’s crap when you haven’t even seen the articles… Props to banners and the crew I along with many others think he is soon a smashin job! Word to to mother!

NO NIGGAHS IN ENGLAND?

oi alan, bensons in the top corner, jersy in the bottom, have YOU seen voices?

Can’t think of any sponsored black riders in England come to think of it. Then again I don’t see many black riders either, cept in racing. Nothin racist about it, it’s just marketting to your main audience.

wheres tommy c?

There are a very few number of black riders in the UK, let alone pro riders. Alex Kennedy is probably the most well known… Racist magazine? Should Nina Burrito be on there too so it’s not sexist?
You don’t have to be the same colour as someone to have them as a role model – who’s racist now?!
You might be interested to see what the article is like before you judge…

ride uk has got so bad now, fuckin idiots, get a fucking grip

wheres matt roe :o

epic fail, ride uk was dead when jeff stewert and paul roberts left, all about dig mag for sure

no bigger role model than ben hennon. he did a 360 whip over cafe del mar at the end of my set to close the ibiza season off last year

…not as many as in the US, because there was no slavery of Africans in the UK.

alex kennadys black? i thought he was greek! mad eggshell

“…not as many as in the US, because there was no slavery of Africans in the UK.”

hahahahah read a book!

wrong
im from uk and know quite a lot of black riders. i dont no of any black pros. but then again i dont no ANY pros

what is in this issue? just bikechecks? articles abat the riders?

Come on, do you wanna split hairs? Alright, …at least not quite as much as in the US.

WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE ANYWAY? THEY ALL LOOK BOUT 20 SO HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY BE ROLE MODELS WHEN THEY STILL BEING LEAD BY OTHERS??

GAYEST COVER EVER IMHO

ALE KENNADY DOESN’T SOUND VERY BLACK TO ME. MAYBE IF IT WAS SHANEQKWA OR OMARION OR BARRACK BUT C’MON BRO, THATS SOME SUBERB SHIT YO. ARE THERE ANY BLACKS IN ENGLAND?

Truth^

dan lacey is black isn’t he?

don’t buy it then

that is close to being the worst cover i have ever seen, “role models” give me a break. way to turn the gay up to 11

nice multiplication skills, but you forgot to subtract the three in the middle, there are actually 22 people (if you can call all of them people).

they are all ugly except for bottom left corner hahahah

all you poeple saying there ugyly. are you fucking queer. judging whether a bike rider is ugly or attractive, go ride your bikes and check out girls. instead of wondering if the next bike rider you see is gonna be ugly or not.

hey fags, you all gay and need to chill out – if this cover of ride doesnt impress you im pretty sure they’ll loose no sleep over it. I reckon for those of you who seem to be complaining here – go buy the latest issue of ” your a gay emo quer who needs to wind his / her neck in” its great and shows you how to fist yourself without lube!, try that and then see which mag is better – by the way the cover of ” your a gay emo quer who needs to wind his / her neck in” has a exciting mixture of colours and textures so’s not to offend the races and mixed communities.
haha i am the voice of rebelious reason suck my eggs!!!!!!!!

the funny thing is, even though this mag cover is bein slagged ride will still sell loads of copies and the slaggers will more than likely buy it to for their own little fix of bmx fashion.

sister sledge is right, and also bmx has become to serious and not as fun as the days when i rider was just a rider who’d ride anything with anyone. Is it not good to see a cover with every mixture of rider together rather than just dirt or just street or just a parkie, ramprat contest comp head rider.

yano, its good to shop in tesco casue in this recession because “every little helps”

i must put this point forward, its a touchy subject to say’ whos your role model’, then put a bunch of young english ‘hot right now’ dudes on the cover of a big selling bmx magazine worldwide,under the watchful judgement of what bmxers have become..they SHOULD have, in my opinion, put a vast selection of old legends, new legends and people that the guys at ride no full well kill it, but are un-known.sure the street thrashers and the ramps killers and the stairgap masters are about but what about trails and flatland? ..and what not.who the hell on there has even seen anthem.thats a fuckin crap as cover, un thought out if you ask me.that to me is like bumming the kids u regularly put in the mag gettin all the coverage, which is bullshit. the worst thing is all the kids that read it nowadays prolly dont know any better and think that these guys are the superstars.ppppppppppppffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft,

and i know its arguably gunna have a responce such as- oh well its just a handful to give you an idea etc.whatever man shoulda put fuckin foster punching mark webbs dumbass lipring out, that would SELL!

MIKE TAYLORS THE WORST ROLE MODEL IN BMX

james newricks 34, look how much pain hes in trying to smile. oof me shins

all those guys on the cover arent just new guys on the block of bmx – ok some of them are in the lime light now but a good rider is a good rider and when you think of the uk scene , these guys kina come to miond first – nothin wrong with that. also its all well and good stickin old legends on the cover but that fact is – they have alreay been there and this is a fresh idea with the recent contest riding and dvd captured riders of the u.k – nothin wrong with that i say.

would the cover be worst if all the riders featured wre on their bikes instead of face shots??

bmx politics are rediculous.

which ever leftwing doogooder was complaining at the lack of blacks needs to take a closer look. ben lewis blatently has a paki spot on his forhead.

marv is black. get me?
