INSIDE.
rideukbmx.mpora.com, may 2012: Caution When Wet! Riding anywhere outdoors during the last month was pretty much deemed a write-off. The UK is supposedly in a drought (even though it’s been raining constantly for over a month now) but despite the non-stop rain, we dug deep and battled on. This issue includes features from the UK (in the rain), Sunny California (not in the rain), a boat trip on the Atlantic Ocean and a selection of some Idiots Abroad…

FEATURES.
Persistence Pays Off. The Phil Demattia Interview. He’s not your average, everyday rider and most definitely has his own riding style. He doesn’t smoke, he runs a brake and he’s a wacky guy, but yet rides for the DUB team. Here is Phil Demattia… Enough said. “…What do you call a ginger kid with glasses? Names…”
California Dreaming. Sun, Sea and Schools with the Madera Team. Follow three Midwesterns and a Floridian as team Madera head to California for the sun, sea and schools… “…I think she should have just looked up at the palm trees all around her and thought “Oh I’m in California, lifes good”…”
All Hands On Deck. A week at sea with the Amity Bikes Crew. After spending a few weeks in Tenerife, team Amity Bike Co set sail to further islands in search of spots around the Canaries. “…We are all men, and admitting seasickness would be a sign of weakness…”
Idiots Abroad. A European adventure of calamity and misfortune. Isaac Lesser, a Bruza and Billy Purcell head to Rotterdam with absolutely no budget or clue. What’s the worst that could happen… “…The three of them are such simple creatures, part of me was wondering what had I let myself in for…”
