Greystoke BMX Magazine (Vol.2)
The Greystoke BMX Magazine (Vol.2) is an interesting read, coming from a 28 year old who thinks print is dead. Turns out this magazine is not just for old fogies by old fogies. Greystoke is all things BMX, from the evolution of racing into freestyle, evolution of deathtrap bikes, ingenuity of making your own parts that don't suck, and some insight from very influential legends. Basically what we're saying is, if you have any interest in early BMX or want some perspective on how the bike you are riding today came about then checkout the Greystoke Magazine.
"Real life in real time. Issue 2 of Greystoke print magazine starts shipping October 21. 132 pages of tangible, hold-in-your-hands BMX print media. In the follow up to our premiere issue, we go deep on subjects like sobriety, the influence of Jag BMX, earliest skatepark activity, the bike that started a revolution, Ron Wilkerson's life and times, the R.A.D. magazine story, and photos, lots of photos of BMX people doing BMX things, then and now. And remember, kids, BMX is not a sport... "
