Focalpoint is in print, we do 2,500 copies of it in Australia. we do the online version so that the rest of the world can see what our scene is like. Thanks

yea but the bad part about mags is that its a total one sided approach to riding or any sport or activity. on the net; when you have pages like tcu, defgrip, sprfls, and shredthegnar anyone can have an input on anything. in the magazine world everything is always moving always trying to find that last few seconds of time to get a scan done or develop negs it gets to be overwhelming. im not saying its not fun; which it defintetly is, but theres also a sense of limited productivity or creativness bc sometimes what you may want cant or wont work for the spread that youre doing. its hard for paper to change drastically or to use chemicals to enhance the pages. its too expensive anymore and to do it would run a smaller output to cost ratio. i parted with dig 6 months ago and im not missing it. im online more and since im no longer in school i dont sit and read em like i used to. id rather be out riding having fun than trying to read disengenuous stories in small print on multiple colored backgrounds.

Have a subscription to dig and ride uk. I wouldn’t have it any other way,thats how I get my bmx fix besides a good dvd/vhs. This site is used mostly by me to see what is wrong with bmx,and what not to do when the Delco video drops. Sure sometimes the content on here is cool,so is being ignored by the webmaster when you email them inside news about injuries and stuff and it never gets posted. Its all good, Bmx is being run into the ground by a bunch of 13 year old savages who can 540 air before learning feeble grinds,something horrible is happening. And people who complain that I cant find dig, FUCKING PICK UP YOUR PHONE AND GET A SUBSCRIPTION IT BEATS JERKING OFF TO MARK WEBB’S NECK TATTOO ON THE INTERNET.

I have to say after not riding or reading anything bmx related for 4 years and just getting back into the scene things have changed. Ride US is a complete pile of crap, its paper thin and the news is a month old, the only magazine I still read is digbmx. I used to love magazines and buy them all the time, but the lack of quality has really pushed me away.
