Ride Issue 111

-

Christmas is nearly here and so is the new issue of Ride, number 111. First thing you'll notice about the issue is Mutiny's rider Randy Taylor doing a tailwhip down a set of 20 stairs. I'll just casually mention that as Walter Pieringer's photo says so much more... Second try (how do you get a second try?) to the pedals. Boom.

On with the regulars...
Netley gets his rant on about building jumps in Dirtbox while John Dye blasts a few more people in his Firing Line. Joe Simon answers Who, Where, How, What and When in the Video Player. Nathan Williams Fires in some Blanks and expresses some views on politics and baseball. Daniel Dhers tells you that his ambitions are to be rich and to get it on with a supermodel in his Top Fives... Zach Shaw spends Six Minutes talking about the new vert resi at Corby, Chris Reisenberger is someone you probably have never heard of but you will learn what he does for Kink/Blackout Distribution in the Industry column.

Effraim says Flat Matters and gives the Diversion brand a few plugs, he suggests Youtube awards?! Bring back the DVD... Loads of colourful Christmas product this issue. Kink, Mankind, United and Failure frames all get the close inspection.

The comp this issue is the almighty Chris Doyle's Square One package including a bunch of T-shirts, hats and other garments to keep you cosy. Chase Dehart and Derek Strickland get pro bike checks. Joe Fox teaches the humble barspin. Leo Forte and James Newrick answer 40 questions, 20 each. WTF? Buzzard! Beddows took Niki Croft to Stoke for the Park Warden. A bunch of kind trail builders voice their opinions on locking up trails in Stripped. Raleigh Burners is this issues Icon. And then onto the features...

BMX Houses

Bruce Crisman Interview

Bruce Crisman lived in London for most of the summer and H-Man drove his huge white aquatic vehicle down south to cover Bruce doing what he does best. No, not 10ft one handed X-ups with a full face at Burnside... Going backwards.

Martti Kuoppa Interview

When i opened this double page it almost scared me. Martti says what he thinks and Rutger Pauw did a superb job of the photos...

V Club Roadtrip

This is where the crazy cover photo came from. The V Club team get on the road and absolutely destroy. Kareen Williams also 360's those massive stairs during their stay in Tennessee.

Scott Ditchburn Interview

Scott chats about riding, bad boys and his smuggling experience to France this past summer. He also mentions how he's been working on the quad whip that is sure to un-nerve Mark Webb...

The DC UK Roadtrip

It's a trick of the eye. It wasn't really as good as it looks in the magazine... What am I talking about? Read the article and look at some of the best trails photos in the magazine.

Red Bull Down N Dirty

Rob Dolecki covers the Red Bull comp in Bruce Springsteen's town of Asbury, NJ. Yours truly wrote about the contest and how team UK passed the time in a dead gay town...
