From the cover that catures a shoot which utilised over 350 thousand dollars worth of camera gear and one of the worlds most progressive riders in Kyle Baldock, to the pure DIY ethic of Anchor BMX's DVD, the individuals and identities that make Australian BMX rock are all here. We sit down and hit record with Beechy, Adam Stone and Josh Druce to see what makes them tick. Then travel to England for Empire of Dirt, to China for an almost un-bustable street session and lurk the streets of Melbourne with Fit's Australian crew. All that plus all your regular features, giveaways, amazing photography and words from the ridiculously talented crew who all make this mag possible. We ain't reposting the rest of the worlds content, we're documenting our time in BMX. 2020v44 hits Australian bikes shops and news agents from the 6th of July (maybe a couple of days later for those west and north) and world wide on www.zinio.com not long after.

Bart de Jong, www.fatbmx.com, november 2013: The importance of BMX media is immense. Without the magazines and websites a big part of BMX would not be told. It would be hard for the companies to reach their customers or to present their products. Jams and contests would not be reported about. Riders would not have a way to express themselves in an interview. Public riding spots would remain a secret and the news would not spread outside of your closest friends. 2020BMX magazine covers the Australian scene and does the above, and much more. Issue 49 has Jason Watts on the cover, blasting the MARKIT backyard ramps during his recent US trip. Photo by Colin Mackay. Jason gets an interview too. Ammon Chesworth's interview is done and took two years to finish up. Worth the wait? Pick up a copy and you be the judge. Tempered’s Filthy Drains event makes it’s return to bring good times and all the usual mayhem to Brisbane thanks to the hard work of Jerry Vandervalk. Andy Fortini and Kim Bloodson travel to South Africa in search of a new world. The Fox BMX Pro event at Rampfest gets covered. Input BMX make parts in Australia and 2020 shows how. Duo and LosseKid gave products to give out. What would Australia be without 2020BMX Mag? Support those who support BMX.
