flange Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 How do all I'm currently working on a new free online magazine dedicated to street riding and street trials. It'll be available over the web in PDF format, hopefully bi-monthly and will be dedicated to riding man-made stuff in town centres. Its going to be light hearted and there will be plenty of piss taking but also indicative of what we do. I wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what they'd like to see? Already got some stuff lined up (hell I've even bought a new camara) but is there something you'd like, an interview maybe or a bike test? Either hit me on here or pm me or something. All ideas welcome and you might even get a Marsbar if we use it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'd like to see... Interviews with riders, but asking different things to what people usually asks Pro bike checks - photos and specs Good quality photos all round - no badly compressed JPEGs Trials history Riding spot details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flange Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 (Y) Nice one We've got some interviews lined up so I'll do my best to think of 'alternative' questions (see 'rude'). And what they don't answer I'll make up (Y) Pro bike specs is a cool idea too. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Nothing really to add sorry but it sounds like a great idea! Can't wait (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'd like to see... Interviews with riders, but asking different things to what people usually asks good idea, but at least keep most of the interview related to riding. Pro bike checks - photos and specs include comments from the rider too, plus maybe a few non pro's would be good like tim pratt, john shrews, porter, just throwing a few names in here to get the idea Good quality photos all round - no badly compressed JPEGs maybe even include with ride/jam reports (Y) Riding spot details with good photos, possible maps too how to's - often good, maybe for a few non standard trials moves too, fufanus, abuhbaka's (sp?) 180 gap, 360 static drops, tyre taps. good sequential pics. a few good reviews, maybe! maybe a non ridey section, music, films and random stuff - not too big though well written and no spelling mistakes and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Yes. Virtually ever page of every BTM issue at at least one spelling mistake. Go and look for yourselves... and spelling people's names wrong is just rude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miket-raptorman Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 how about asking riders that you interview to do a how to section one trick per rider also ask em how there bikes ride, cos i always wonder what they think of there bike.

Mc Lovin Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) It sounds like an awesome idea mate. I agree with what others have said, it's always good to have pictures of broken parts( Maybe a small section at the back with a count of parts broken since the magazine first went into publishing. I.e punctures chains etc), bails and injurys are always good also. A riders page would be good so we know who it is that is riding, what bike and where. Do you know what the magazine is going to be called yet? A marsbar eh, sounds interesting :( . Edited November 16, 2005 by tom_wilko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) I'd like to see... Interviews with riders, but asking different things to what people usually asks Pro bike checks - photos and specs Good quality photos all round - no badly compressed JPEGs Trials history Riding spot details Everything said there, riding spot details is an excellent idea, becuase no one really takes pics of riding spot places. Have comps, where people send in pics. Not a fan of the product reveiw myself, becuase one persons can vary from another (due to how lucky they have been with the product basicly), unless your going to be the input from alot of people. :( Edited November 17, 2005 by JT!

lankyri Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 this is what id like to see in a mag, new places- go to a different location every issue and take piccys of the spots interviews- either with the top pros or up and coming riders how to- different trick taught in a step by step with piccys new bike/ conpoments- find out whats new on the market lots of piccys hope this helps mate and cant wait if this mag goes ahead ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llandudno_trialsboy Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 i would be great if you put everyones ideas in the mag eg. interviews, product test,good photos etc. cant wait to read it. how long before its published? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDeathMonkey Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'd like to see some good locations to go ride, however it would be nice if you could spread them around England so everyone can read about a place fairly close to them. Sounds like a great idea, love to see it happen! :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials_joe Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Nice pictures and maybe pull out posters. Product reviews and where we can get them from. Nexts years products! Locations of good spots and instructions on how to get there. Instructions/Tutorials on what moves to pull, how to pull them and when to pull them. Love the idea of a trials bike mag. Love to see it on the shelfs :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nay Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 There should be a page where riders can send in their photos of them doig gaps and drops and stuff like that, like how MBUK have the ' show us your huck ' section on the freeride pages. Also a page for selling stuff like old bike bits and frames etc, like the bargain pages ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 how about asking riders that you interview to do a how to section one trick per rider also ask em how there bikes ride, cos i always wonder what they think of there bike. not against the idea, but if they are sponsored they will say its the best bike they have ever riden in most cases. just saying.

ogre Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 People have asked about how to's and stuff, how about working out lines for things? i.e. somebody send a pic of something crazy they've bin trying or looked at and soiled themselves with delight the thought of getting up and over it only haven't got a rats arse of an idea how to? would be fun...

Jules Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Sounds wicked, like someone else said a non riding section would be cool. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
