On the brighter side, the forum community itself showed a lot of love for Scottie and raised enough money for him to buy a wheelchair accessible van. Honestly this website takes a lot of work to keep flowing and I'm hoping Scottie finds some new avenues to adventure without having to babysit this forum all the time.
As usual, I am out of step with the majority. I love glossy magazines and still get a bunch of them. Sure, the days when moto news, new model year bike releases and other exciting developments were broken by magazines in your mailbox are long gone. But I still enjoy them. I actually hate staring at the little screen and associate computers with stress (really wish they would all just burst into flames and go away forever)
Yo! Get your iPad and be sure to not get any doodoo on it!
I still have that magazine somewhere.
I think they've got a decent formula to, where the time sensitive stuff is on the wbe and the interesting, behind the scenes stuff is in the mag. Very different content between the two.

I grew up getting mad a Rondo Talbot, trying to decipher Wolfman's colorful use of adjectives (before he moved over to Dirt Rider) and chuckling at Rick Sieman's tales. Dirt Bike is a shell of its former self and not worth the $5 newsstand price but it is sort of like a rock. Also, I always appreciated their specs tables in all of their tests. Weight, seat height, fuel capacity....everything was always listed in one table. I appreciated that. But soon I think they will be gone too. We'll go through a digital phase, and in some years, a group of "revolutionary" modern day hipsters will come out with a novelty item....a "print magazine" and it will become trendy to actually read printed material. Sort of like these artsy bearded Mo-Fos and their 35mm instagram photography.
One thing I notice when I browse the newsstand, as I like print, is that there are
still mags out there for nice sports, but they tend to focus HEAVILY on photography.
So there's still a market.
The site still has an online subscription page. :-|
By real honest journalism, do you mean like the time he wrote an article about making a how to make a bong for Modern Cycle?
It's a shame as magazines concentrate on their own content that they don't generally publish online whereas most motocross websites post similar content from press releases or just their own spin on the same subjects.
Post a reply to: Sounds like Dirt Rider Magazine will cease publication...
