Bart de Jong, www.fatbmx.com, december 2008: Maybe I'm wrong but I think this is the fattest 2020 magazine that I've ever received. At 148 pages it's got tons of stuff packed inside the glossy Australian BMX mag. It does show that the Australian scene is happening but from the contest results you already knew that they've got big talent down under. Maybe getting some coverage is the start for some riders to keep the motivation. Aussie riders like Cam White, Corey Bohan, Luke Parslow, Ryan Guettler, Steve McCann, and Colin MacKay have made a name for themselves worldwide and they've been able to live off of riding a bike for the last couple of years. The mag shows that there are Australian bike companies popping up, they've got rider owned bikeshops and mailorder going on and we already knew that they've got plenty of parks over there. When riders get involved in all aspects of BMX, you know it builds up a strong base. 2020 has published 30 issues now and contributes to the sport. It's by no means easy to keep things alive but if there is a will, there is a way.
