[Closed] Dirt magazine contents page..

I must have missed that, i'll look tonight.

I'm not the only memeber who reads Dirt?

Useless without a photo link !

Mate just seen that contents page in WH Smiths over lunch and am hoping that my subscription copy is waiting for me at home.

**** me that's a lovely chest. Who would have known Gee was so ripped.

Dirt has a 'contents' page? Is it not just a "list of illustrations"? 😉

hope its waiting for me at home

dirts still the best bike mag imho, sorry mods!

Style over substance. Though I do like a flick now and again.

[i]Style over substance.[/i]

Occasionally true (although sometimes it's more lack-of-style), but there's been some great articles recently. The one about the classic Sunn-Chipie team was the best article I've read in any mag the last few months.
And the BMX guy doing the Mega (that was a while ago) - but at least they don't seem like rehashes of the same stuff every month.
(And the photos are better than any other mag)

I do agree that the good articles are very good, but I'll be a miserable old codger and complain about the stupidly small typefaces and the fact that the written bits are all over the shop so it's hard to read even when it is worth reading.

I do like the pics too.

I do like a flick now and again.

*s****s*

Steve Jones' articles are pure verbal/typed diarrhea, and I agree with jo about it being difficult to read. I decided not to renew my sub when they changed to a once a month. Might sneak a peak at the new one though 🙂

*s****s*

I thought someone might 😉

I love the mag, the only one for me really since MBI. SIngletrack is ok but nothing more. MBUK and MBR bore me badly, American mags annoy with their egos.
Looking forward to those nipples then.

dammit. i hadnt realised mine hadnt turned up yet.

supposed to be an write up about my local spot in there this month...

Eh is issue 86 out..? will have to grab a copy

ah, to the newsagency and don't spare the typefaces!!

17 replies and no pictures? Tsk!

Not supposed to be out until the 25th..

bah, Dirt mag in shops and my subs copy still not through the post. Same as the last six or so issues 🙁

Julian - it's been like that for over 10 years, subscribers pay less and probably got some free shit so get over it!

It was always about 2 days sooner before they changed publisher and went monthly a couple of years ago. Perhaps the 'every other month' pace of life made it easier to get posted before sending out to the shops.

Most mags use the 'get it before it hits the shelves' as a selling point in their 'please subscribe to us' blurb. And their subscribers generally do, certainly the bi-monthly 'has anyone got the mag yet' threads on here would suggest so anyway. And yes I have got a whole t shirt every year from Dirt. And i save a whopping £8 a year by subscribing. Woo!

as an aside, it comes in an opaque grey plasic heatseal bag with 'dirt' written on it. Goodness knows what my postie must think I read...

Sorry, but having bought every copy of Dirt from issue 1 from local newsagents/bike shops while some of my mates subscribed I usually had it before them (way before the publisher switch too). the bigger newsagents seem to get it on the shelves way after the local newsagents/bike shops do too.

i got my copy from WHsmiths on saturday... (been drooling over miss contents page lady ever since 😉 )

been loving the articles on old school downhill bikes in Dirt... the sunn radical was a gorgeous bike..!

the back in the day articles in this months singletrack are fantastic too...!

as for the small typeface in dirt... i quite like getting up close and having to move the page around to read things at different angles! (though admitedly it can be tricky to read sometimes!!)

I always found I'd get to the end of an artical (out of breath as grammar is rarely used) only to think '#i didn't really understand what any of that was about' - I never renrewed my subscription 😐

Its easy to read. :::throws down copy of R.A.D from 1988::: if you managed to read r.a.d. designed by NP (must have been on acid,kidding ;OP) then you can read anything lol.

If only magazines of today had what R.A.D had..

Ok, got my copy today. What say I scan and post?

What say I scan and post?

Like anyone's going to say "no" 😀

The photography in Dirt is peerless in the world of MTB mags, in my humble opinion.

She's, umm, not axactly a babe is she - and the haircut and facial expression arent't doing her any favours...!

purely in the intrests of being up to speed on the posts on here, I went into Smiths and had a sneaky peek 😳
Should be on the top shelf!!!!

We're waiting! 8)

She's a fine young lady fit for the purpose of cycling promotion.

I misread the original post last night so I was surprised to see Gee Atherton's naked chest when I was expecting Rachel.

Obviously there were other compensations elsewhere on the page.

Ah sorry, had to take the dog for a walk. So anything to avoid that Apprentice shite the wife is watching...

Gee is one side:

HA, I can go one better,

My dad works for the NT, so spends his day surrounded by geriatrics. Now imagine Dirt lands on his desk addressed to Mr. Parkinson (my post still goes there) accompanied by dissaprooving look s form some of the elderly bussybodies. My dad whisks it into his desk drawer murmuring somehing about it being a magazine for his son. Propmting one of the old biddies to say "perfectly healthy thing for a young lad to be into I supose"

...............dont think she thought it was about bikes 🙂

Here she is.

Sorry, can't risk a banning. You'll just have to go in WHS and buy a copy.
Worth it for the Mammoth (I've been there!) and Lake Garda (I'm going there!) articles.

that is a terrible haircut.

FEK ME

I need to get out and ride more, last time i saw a DH rider with their top off it was Rob Warner, which just re-assured me i could drink more beer and still become national champion.

It's Billy Trailstar's girlfriend.

Who cares about the haircut? Next month, Jones's naked session?

Photobucket have decided that an image of a young lady with her naked boobs obscured "violates their terms of use". Apparently G's naked chest doesn't.

I asked them yesterday and they said that it was just some random chick that they happened on when out riding. God knows how they got into that situation though.
