Oh BMX Plus!, it’s been nearly a year already….
Back in your April 2010 issue, you ran a cover story on the “Death of the 24.” A surprising turn of events given that you showed so much love for the cruiser in months prior to that article.
I won’t deny it. It stung a little.
Since then, it’s seems you have been on a non-stop campaign to bring the love back. There was the 10-page race cruiser shootout… a nice gesture.
And mentions of 24s in the different buyer’s guides.
But it seems forced.
Now your February issue hits the stands and I find a 3-page test on the SE Floval Flyer.
Is this an early Valentine, perhaps?
If it is, I appreciate the effort, but…
They’re still something we need to do, to bury the hatchet.
Remember the freestyle cruiser shootout I suggested before?
Run that and we can put this whole thing behind us.
*Off-topic but somewhat-related news*
SE recently announced the signing of #1 Pro Cruiser champ, Barry Nobles to its team for 2011.
Got to admire the versatility of a rider that backflips the Pro Section in the Pro Cruiser main during the 09 ABA Grands (why didn’t anyone capture this on video?) and follows it up with a #1 title the following year.
honestly. i didnt even think BMX plus still existed. i cant find it anywhere in vegas. but that is cool that they are starting to show some love to the 24’s.
Definately like the look of the New Floval Flyer, taken a serious thought about running 1 this season. It would be a nice addition to the stable, see how it would work on the NBL National circuit. Haven’t owned a SE yet and it’s about time to get one.
