Ride Issue 105

Our UK contributors have been getting stuck-in for this issue: Beddows, who has finally saved up enough reddies to replace his pinhole camera, has been flat-out chasing Mutiny’s Niki Croft around the streets of Nottingham. Northern John has been sending himself in the foam pit of photography and has acquired an impressive new bag of tricks.

H-man, who was assembled with a digital camera in his hands, managed to pick up a shady people-carrier and hit up most of the UK to put together one of the most widespread articles we’ve run in a while. Joe Cox and Benson, who in this office have the joint worst reputation for dusty negatives, collaborated their efforts to document a trip to Madrid with half of Sheffield and a slice of London. But far from coming back with a double dose of Spanish dust, Joe must have jumped shit on the way over and ‘gone digi’ and the stubborn Daniel Benson must have hoovered out his wallet as even his slides were clean this time. John Dye has turned his steady tattooist’s hand to pointing a few lenses and firing a few flashes at some bigshots on a trip all the way to Scotland.
And I’ve put another two photos of myself in the mag.

Further afield:
Robin ‘let me drive’ Fenlon trucked all the way to Monpellier to shoot the Nokia Fise contest, but there were so many whips and spins going on we had to recruit the high speed motordrive of Manu Sanz to freeze all those blurs for the record.
Just like Gary Linker – who never got a booking in his whole career – USA’s Rob Dolecki – who is yet to take a bad photo – has tagged along on another amazing trip: this time with not one but two teams on Props’ latest excursion: Mega Tour 6.
One man media company Walter Pieringer trekked way down to New Zealand for a bout of sheep herding, rally driving and a few bike stunts with some people with Levis on their legs. And finally Sandy Cason and Keith Terra let their powers combine to present Garrett Byrnes’ latest high-speed take on the whole thing.
It’s summer…
Pack a bike and a camera…
And get stuck in.
