I got my copy of CDB today and I too have to add that VMX doesn't have anything to worry about. I don't mind a trials article or two but five trials articles is upsetting the balance. The photos are also very weird. Many readers use the photos as reference for their restos but the CDB layout bloke seens to use shots taken from weird and difficult angles that miss a lot of details. The photos alsoften break the cardinal rule of dirt bike photography of having busy backgrounds that distract from the subject. The articles are scant of details, especially the article on the nice B44. I'm anal enough to want to know all of the little details that go into making a hot rod bike like that. On the positive, the Dave Thorpe story is great and fits beautifully in with the articles on Neil Hudson and Graeme Noyce in earlier editions. I'd like to see some earlier bios though. They've locked themselves into the 80's era riders but an article on 70's riders Vic Eastwood, Bryan Wade, Andy Robertson or Jimmy Aird would level up the balance. All in all, the production quality doesn't hold a candle to the product put out by Jeff, Smithy and AJ but it's not too bad a read in the end. Another mag isn't going to hurt our sport.
