Pappa Bear Posted June 9, 2009 Share Hey, Any idea why we don't have a proper MTB mag (a local mag)? Yes RIDE and Bicycling and the othe rone is fine....... but it takes me 30min. and then I am throught the mag (yes I have a short attention span). But I look at mags from the UK (MBR, etc.) and envy them.... why can they publlish 3 or 4 mags in the UK totally dedicated to MTB while in SA we can't put out the same "quality" of mag? Whe have the skills, the sunshine and I am sure the market is there? Will it not be nice to see nice adverts from Cajees, Bruce, Fritz etc. in the mag? Local rides covered in 3 or 4 pages, detailed maps etc? Was wondering about this for sometime now........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted June 9, 2009 Share Tread' date=' mountainbiker mag.... we have 2[/quote'] although they are better then the other two, they are not on par with the UK mags like Pappa Bear mentioned, sorry HR, SB, Intern and all others involved. They just do not have the power (read readership) that can demand suppliers giving them 5-10 bikes/sets of tyres/light sets/wheel sets/whatever for 2 months to do proper tests. An honoustly, I do not think we have the trails that they have overseas. You can finish all the reviews of all SA trail in 6 months and then what?Mampara2009-06-09 00:40:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
