best australian mtb rag

[sasfish]

I was looking at the amb mag the other day and was wondering if there was something else out there that was more xc focused. Thanks

 

[Ham]

not really, not australian anyway mtb australia is a bit more xc based not much.

 

[Le Matelot]

Well, Enduro is XC - just very long XC.

great thanks for that. Is enduro a garage paper or what? it has that raspy grassroots feel. I love it. I can just see the bikes hanging from the walls.

Well, when you've got this bloke as the editor, and the layout and artwork at the mercy of these fingers, there is a fair chance that the magazine is safely in the hands of people who know what they're talking about with XC.

those are great photos, good to see the mag has racing roots. Its nice to see that the whole printed world is not subject to trek and giants ad desk. I'll be putting in my support tomorrow. Thanks again guys for the help.

Mountain Biking Australia magazine. www.bicyclingaustralia.com/mountain-biking-australia-magazine.php

Editor is John Hardwick. Ex Australian XC Elite rider and legend of the one true test of all men... the Woody Worlds.

And very XC based.

And as previously mentioned by just about everyone... you've also got Enduro magazine.

(and you don't mind web based mags... there is the international www.xxcmag.com )

Of the ones I've read, Enduro is the only one I consistently buy month-to-month.

Most of them are pretty good ,but a few of the contributers in some of them just talk them selfs and there mates up on how good they think they are.

Gotta love seeing a bloke in a blue singlet at a world championship.

Doesn't get any more Aussie than that.

I had to drop out of racing around four years ago in Hawaii due to knee injury and I have just come back to training. Allot has changed with the parts and bits on bikes and I have also put on 20kg of blubber. I hope to be up and racing senors expert sometime in Oct. Just a few more months needed before I feel I'm ready to go back to dog pound. Thanks for the help and info. Nice to know you can depend on the xc crew for info here in ozz.
This was my last race in Plastiglas Ontario Cup in the states. number 44 and yes the knee f*&ked up but still got 11th mens senors

Don't you mean Quarter-to-Quarter?

Enduro must be going allright, started as a cheapish spine bound magazine with very cheap paper(110gsm rubbish), to then using app:135gsm silk matt(very expensive and great to use and read), while getting the magazine perfect bound, which is good but not perfect, to now using the best binding method.
A magazine cant be good unless the content is good, which Enduro is awesome for an australian magazine.
Just my 2c.

I love and treasure my four issues of Dave Coopers finely written 'ONE' Mag.. (zine?) ...wish he'd do another.

Enduro is a great read..... and i mean R-E-A-D. Not allot of ads (just the right amount), but great articles to meet the XC fix required.
