I want to get a mag subscription ... what should I get? I want racing coverage at a minimum. What do you all suggest?

QUAD is a sweet magazine, its pretty new, ATVinsider is awsome, i pick them up at the races all the time, there huge and packed with info, mostly racing though

Cool. Thanks. ATV Rider has utility quads, which I could care less about. ATV-Insider is only revolved around racing. Quad has sweet posters but no race coverage and the info is mostly fluff. ATV Sport is ok but the design doesn't draw me in. It's a tough decision for me.

Maybe I'll just keep getting my info. here!

I'm not a really big magazine fan when it comes to quads....

Any tech questions or things like that I usually resort back to forums or someone I know so I can get info first hand.

Yes, there is a lot of BS on internet forums, but there are a lot of people with tons of knowledge in different areas. You can ask almost any type of question on here (related to quads or not) and there always seems to be someone who can answer it.

So in all honesty....I mostly look at pictures and things like that in the mags, and since a lot of them aren't very interesting it doesn't take me very long to go through them.

Don't get me wrong...I do read some of the articles that directly interest me, but usually it doesn't tell me much more than I can find out on my own by asking.

I suppose they are pretty handy for memorizing the specs of all the new quads, but again, that can be done online.

So yeah, I'm mainly interested in looking at unique and interesting pictures (preferably action shots).

And to answer the original question, I'm not really sure which magazine I like best. I have a subscribtion to ATV sport just cause my picture was used in an add in one of the issues and I wanted to make sure I got it....lol.

Anyway, it's the last 10 minutes of the work day for me and I felt like rambling.

Ya man definitely watched it as soon as I took it out of the case... And if your wondering if I liked the CVBOYZ part... Well lets just say that was the best part in the movie... It was awesome with the superman wheelie, the burnouts, no handed wheelies, it was sick:devil: Were you in that part?

shift_dvs hit the nail on the head I think!!

But anyways- I would like to see more info about Honda 250rs instead of all of this new 4-stroke crap.

In the last atvsport I got, or maybe the one before it, there was a complete rebuild on this 250R... Pretty nice section to.
