On again and off again, running hot and cold on cruisers, it’s an ongoing theme with BMX Plus magazine.
One minute they’re showing some love for cruisers, the next they’re running a cover story called “Cruising into Oblivion: The Death of the 24“.
The BMX world’s longest running magazine can be a cruel mistress.
It’s enough to make a grown man cry.
Now in the latest issue (September), it looks like Plus is trying to kickstart the love affair again.
With a coverline that calls September “The Big Issue” and “Race and Freestyle Cruisers put to the test” getting top billing you just know something’s up.
Inside the magazine, they have–be still my heart–a freestyle cruiser shootout!
Granted, we suggested that they do this way back in 2010 but it’s nice to see it finally happening.
The DK Cygnus, the Sunday Model-C and Stolen Saint are all reviewed, complete with some pretty good riding shots.
On the race side of things, Plus takes the Redline Proline 24 out for a test drive. A solid review with, again, some good riding shots.
To cap things off and round out the big wheel bonanza, there is a DK ad on the backcover, featuring its Sentry 24.
Will this renewed love for the cruiser last this time?
I guess we’ll have to watch the newstand to find out.
