The last Ride UK cover

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

I'm sad about the end of magazines. When  I was a kid reading Dig, Ride, and sometimes RideUK (when I could get a hold of it) BMX felt so personal, like I somehow knew the riders featured in the magazines or I knew what the dude in the photo was thinking. It was a "yeah, those dudes are just like me" kind of thing. Now we have this huge shapeless mass of media content, things feels much more business driven and we expect to have immediate and unlimited access to everything. With the way the world works now there's no other way the whole thing could play out. Hell, even message boards are becoming extinct.
