davekempmeister Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 per the postcard that i got in the mail today. December 2018 is the last issue. my first thought was sympathy for the Photographers. it always seemed to me that they were the ones who worked hardest for the shot. i know that, here, it is barely relevant.

Allee Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Seems to be the way. There's a few motorcycle and MTB magazines I've followed over the years, have gone belly up in the last little while. Nobody wants paper any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me sad... a friend of mine, who used to be my snowboard shop grom, is the manager. I’ll have to check on him...he was a photographer too Edited March 6, 2019 by Emdee406 Omission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) say what one will about the ad to content ratio, vibe and lack of coverage for anything non-mountain dew or red bull sponsored, they did have some great shots over the years. and i sometimes learned about a small or obscure place i'd not yet been and ended up at that mountain, perhaps because i was intrigued. occasionally, they'd do some really great journalism, IMO. (Marco Siffredi comes to mind). Kurt Hoy and Annie Fast, as Editors, gave women's riding some much deserved space (not just ads), I thought.

Emdee406 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I checked with my friend, editor Nick Hamilton. It’s the print version that’s going away, they will still be going strong online 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
