monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ok, I've just been told that there's a good article in the new MBUK that should've reached subscribers today. I'm going to buy it when it's in the shops but was wondering if any kind people on here might scan the article in... 7 pages on trials if I've heard correctly... Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Are you referring to the Ashton bit? If so, it's pretty good, But I've not got a scanner unfortunately. If you're not on about that :$ Oopsie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Nah, fraid not. Just a shoot they did back in April... damnnn, though stuff like that should really deserve a slot in MBUK over a lot of the junk articles they normally have oh well might get it anyway, just curious, are you desperate to see it because you're featured? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 In case you missed it... EDIT: Just re-read that, I thought he said "not issue 226", but he didn't. My bad :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Oops, my bad- missed that. Anyway, still open to scans if anyone's feeling kind! And of course, everyone should buy the relevant mag when it appears in shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Unfortunately, MBUK breached the upper end of my 'legitimate pricing' threshold a while back, and almost simultaneously breached the lower end of the 'legitimate quality' threshold. As a result, I ain't ne'er buyin' that shit again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Could you not just wait the 2 or so days it takes to get to the shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result, I ain't ne'er buyin' that shit again. Yeah I know. I haven't bought an issue for around 6 or 7 years although mainly because of the pants they used to put in it, however when you're in it it's a bit different! Also, the photographer reckoned that the mag's been taken over by a new editor dude so there may be slightly less of the rubbish that used to get in. Maybe. Could you not just wait the 2 or so days it takes to get to the shops? Yeah I know... but I'm an impatient sod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the photographer reckoned that the mag's been taken over by a new editor dude so there may be slightly less of the rubbish that used to get in. Maybe. Unless they sack the majority of the contributors off, they're still largely f**ked though. Compared to any other 'action sport' (however you want to put it) magazine like Document, Sidewalk, Ride, Dig - literally anything else it still looks amateur and kinda shitty in terms of journalistic quality. Some of the photos are nice, but that's about it, really. The thing that pissed me off about it was the "Free gift every month" era, whereby the "Free gift" (With the exception of the 3-way allen key almost always being utter shit) was paid for by adding £1 to the coverprice. If they'd been optional, so you either had your "Free" gift by paying more, or didn't have the "Free" gift and paid the regular price, that might've been OK, but blatantly that was gonna be a load of hassle. </sour> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
