Yeah. "Firko the farkin Prophet - predicts the past". That's bloody brilliant. Loved it.

Firko, those mugs in the Evo Shootout may be ugly but who wouldn't have wanted to be in that one? And the shot of Goolies on the KTM, that's awesome! I want a poster.

I blame your postal service. I reckon our lot of mags get sent off with the Perth mags and have to travel the whole way round the world to get to us. ;D.
Lifes a bitch and then some bastard puts a coffee mug down on ya #4 vmx mag >:(

There is something seriously wrong with the postal service when the mag gets to NZ before it gets to me in TASMANIA

Bro chose not to  have me give him a birthday present of a subscription of VMX.
 His words "Too many pages of bloody ads in it"
 I do concur , ads have increased i believe and i realise for a reason. The mag suits the many not the few and it also must look after itself and while subs assist  advertisments pay very well to balance the books.

 For this quarter atleast i shall  be without my read

My only complaint (and it took me a few days to realise!!!!) the third part of the XT/TT500 rebuild wasn't there? next time maybe?

But I'm still rapt with the issue

Hi guys,

You may be interested to learn that ad content in VMX is not remotely close to what it was when Ray passed away - naturally we wish it could be, but it isn't  :( 

In issue 23 there were 25.3% ads (24.3 pages total) and in issue #31 the ratio is only 23% ads (18.4 pages total).  So in both % terms and of course outright pages, we are currently running less ads.

Certainly we have more ads now than we did in issue #24 when we first republished the magazine, but we still have less than the rough guideline that Ray mandated, i.e. 25% of magazine space was allowable to keep the magazine uncluttered with ads.

Check out any other dirt bike magazine sometime and calculate the % ad content.  I think you'll find VMX usually has less than half the content of ads when compared on that basis  ;)

And of course, that's how it should be! 8)
