BMX Plus! september 2006: The creator of Radical Rick comics gets an interview in Inside Scoop. His name is Damion Fulton and he explains everything about the comic strip that entertained so many between 1979 and 1993. Ryan Nyquist has his usual column update and he interviews himself and it's quite hilarious! Cory Nastazio goes for a double backflip for a Vans commercial and it's pretty crazy. We give you the inside bit on how to get started in the ABA and NBL. Our annual Rider Of The Year voting takes place. CFB holds a contest at Real Ride Skatepark in Lake Perris, California. Ryan Nyquist wins park and dirt, Jamie Bestwick wins vert and Nathan Penonzek takes flat. Wade Bootes and Thomas Allier get an interview as the two number one pros. Dave Mirra ESPN Super Tour is covered in this issue with Rob Darden, Colin MacKay, Mike Laird and Ryan Nyquist. Parting shot goes out to a young Mike Aitken with a one-footed flattie in Utah.

BMX Plus! november 2006: Adam Banton gets a one of a kind spread pull-out cover doing a handplant over a coping to coping spine at the PSA Skatepark in Huntington Beach, California, Ryan Nyquist has his column in this issue and tells a story about Trick-or-Treating with a friend and how they dressed up as Pro bike riders. If you have this issue, reread his column, it's great. On the following page we give you ten upgrades for $10 bucks, man what would you riders do without us, you would all be broke. It's 2001 and we give you a sneak peek at all the bikes and frames coming out for 2002. Byron Anderson demonstrates a nose bonk On The Move. The Stars and Stripes race is covered in Southpark. Pennsylvania and Christophe Leveque takes AA Pro- Trail boss Brandon Pundai from the East coast gets a sweet trail interview and the poster doing a 360 X-up. Editor and photographer Adam Booth gives away his bike right out of our office, due to the fact that he broke his thumb. Moving Pictures takes us through some great memories of 2001.

BMX Plus! december 2006: Dave Mirra graces the cover with a backflip Xup sequence from the X Games in Philly. Ryan Nyquist has his monthly column in this issue and tells a funny stork about how shaving your face relates to riding a skalepark. You just have to read the article if you can find this one laying around your house; it's great. We go Inside the Pros' bikes with Steven McCann who is still riding a Mongoose frame (the same sponsor he rides now) and Vic Murphy who shows off his tough-looking Dirt Bros bike that's painted like the American flag. On page 34 we give you top ten products to put on your Christmas wish list, some product of that time were Haro Magnesium pedals, Odyssey Evolver brakes and Quamen flatland bars, all of which are still popular today! Woodward hosts the X Games downhill BMX race and Brandon Meadows takes the main. The Metal Kizz frame gets a testing by Ty Hatheway. Ty Stuyvensant, Allan Cooke and Adam Baker all have funny crash sequences in a feature story on How to Crash with Grace. X Games 2001 in Philadelphia is a ten-page feature story. Highlights include Ryan Nyquist doing a 360 backflip with his classic Oakley goggles on that he used to always wear when he rode. Stephen Murray also fired out a double backflip on dirt. Stephen Murray won dirt, Martti Kuoppa won flat, Bruce Crisman won park and Dave Mirra walked away with the vert win. Todd Walkoviak rounds of the issue with a stellar photo in Moving Pictures doing a no footed can can.
