I reckon they should ask readers to send in pics with a short story, whether it's old events, old riders, current rebuilds or industry stories.

Call it 'Your pages', could come up with some very interesting stuff.

I think mposs has found the first couple of feature bikes for Graeme. :)
And Home Brews were good!

here is a story and some history for vmx mag , two young champions winning titles.

The yamaha that Ross is on, was Trevor Floods race bike, when he rode for Mileage Brothers.
Ross still owns the bike and races it.

You have to remember it's a International magazine and they need content that will appeal to a worldwide readership.

What about an occasional bike test from the 70's. it would be interesting to see what they thought of our pet bikes when they were new

A few years ago, one of my clients sent some photo's in of his restored '86 RM80 MX side car out fit that they raced when they were kids. He was knocked back as it was "too modern" for the magazine although I see a pre'90 bike on the cover of the latest issue. I guess it's a hard call, but personally there's been little content of interest to me in quite some time.

id like to see more shootouts - like was done with evo 250s a while back, with modern interpretations on the bikes - ie updated shocks /pipes or whatever, so say  pre 78 open or 250 shootout, pre 75,85 or 90 all interesting.

More AUSTRALIAN content please. I understand that the mag has a world wide audience, so how about showing the world how we do it in Australia. There are plenty of great bikes, ex champions getting back into VMX, very good club riders etc. here in Oz that could easily feature in the magazine. Some content about local club scenes and Vinduro's would be great to see as well. Veri get lots of euro exotica and nicely restored japs. I for one am tiring of all the OS content.

I love the Victorian stuff too Dave but you have to remember the mag is pitched to an International audience as well. Perhaps more so now they have gone digital. J

Lester Rowley's CCM. Watching (and feeling the vibrations in my gut) him race around Tivoli just behind Gunter and Gall was amazing and gave me my love of thumpers.

You certainly have a great archive of the history of early MX Dave....
