JOE JARVIS – Half Cut, Full Send

Words by Robin Pearson
When I think of Joe Jarvis, I think of hard threes, skinny jeans, dodgy handlebar angles, perfectly stomped tailwhips and quite a bit of drinking. He is a man with a lot to say, and he’s not afraid to say it. Joe sets us right in this fiery interview.

BE SKINT & RIDE – The First Ben Towle Interview
Photos by Adam Lievesley
Words by Robin Pearson
It’s been an interesting few years since I first heard the name Ben Towle. I’ll be honest, when I heard of him and saw some of his riding, I quickly dismissed him as a park rat. Of his own admission, as you’ll read, that was fair enough. However, since that introduction there’s been a fierce evolution in Ben’s riding, a sickening rate of progression and adaptation that comes from simply having bags of natural talent. With Ben on this path, we wouldn’t call it THE Ben Towle interview, so it’s just the first one.

CROSSOVER – An extreme pursuit of balance
Photos by Mike Drummond, Paul Foster, Adam Lievesley
Words by Robin Pearson
Looking sideways with five rippers. These are riders who not only shred on twenty inch wheels, but also on other vehicles of gnar. Why is that? Is BMX not enough? Are they just sickeningly talented at everything? Is there a direct crossover of skills? We decided to profile five such guys, watch them ripping it on both terrains and find out how their obsessions compare.
