I got my latest issue and the damn thing is like a parts catalog not a magazine! I know the advertsing pays for the mag but come one i think it needs down sized a bit. You have to flip through six pages or more to get to some articles, i hope this isnt a new on going thing! Just my 2 cents

ATV sport is almost just as bad. They had a 6 or 8 page add for ESR a couple months ago.

I get dirtwheels because i think they are the best magazine and they have the most pages. But yeah lately all them pages have been advertisments.

Seriously guys, we ought to be happy there are so many companies and suppliers battling for your $$. It goes to show the popularity of the sport.

To many ads. Can't even read an article without flipping thru page after page of ads. The articles are just ads themselves. Generic articles that just let you know what parts they buy. Time for some new people in those mags. I'm about tired of hearing "linear powerband". To afraid to piss off a sponsor.

I was just thinking the same thing ..... Christmas is around the corner ..... it's most likely their ( companies) busiest time of the year . Play the market at the right time ... and 2 months before X-mas is the best time of year . Hell I just got the new Summit Performance catalogue ( car parts) and it's larger than their usual one . Good marketing .... especially since I just got it the other day and it's time to buy car parts . :D
