Chopper e' la prima ed unica rivista italiana 100% freestyle bmx. La rivista e' gratuita. Chopper si finanzia con la pubblicità (Italian distributors of Etnies, Carhartt, WUP, and others, ...) |

Bart de Jong, www.fatbmx.com, 2000: Language: Italian. Rating: * /5 The Italian squad get one star for effort. In a country where the freestyle scene is really small and the core guys need to do everything, producing a magazine is really hard. There is little support from bicycle companies to advertise, there are only a few riders in Italy, the spots might not be the greatest, but a magazine can get people stoked on BMX. Lorenzo and his friends feel that there is a growth in freestyle, they feel it's coming and they are prepared for it. Support Chopper! |
