I like Dig. Seems like they've been around forever but don't grow stale. ..although I haven't picked one up in over a year so not sufficiently exposed to rate their current freshfactor. sittingduck says this one is sweet so there ya' go.

Anyone know their start date?

from their faq's page...

Dig BMX issue 1 was published in October 1993.

they had some money troubles for a few years and some years didn't seem to publish any magazines... Looks like they've been on track for the last few years though.

I finally picked this up; it's a must read. First mag I've bought off the newstand in.. a decade?

Anyone know if the UK and US editions have different content? I got the US vers, and was surprised at how much US-centric articles there are.

cheers

Checked it out at B&N on Sat. Good issue, lots of trails and stories, all u.s. based.
You might want to take a closer look.... Chertsy, Brighouse, Epsom, Evergreen, Villij, Winchester, Decoy trails all have stories and pictures in there, and all UK. There are also pics of several other UK spots in there.

I've been looking for this issue but haven't seen it at the local Borders. I'll swing by the B&N tomorrow and see.

Finally found it. If you ride any trails this is a must get issue. Lots of good reading about the PUSH trails and the locals that really brought trails up a few notches not to mention UK stuff and Austin. Really gives a feel for what we trail riders do.

Local hero Butters aka Kevin Lyons got a shot in there by Dolecki. Speaking of Dolecki, DIG really should have put a pic of him in this issue. Maybe not a trick ferret but Dolecki rides trails as good as he takes photos.
