Just signed off on the proof of the mag - print run starts today
don't worry coryb your pic did make it!!!!
i dont read this mag so im not sure what it looks like but for the review section if a riders says i dont like this or i do like this, as long as they state the clear reason along with their back ground details it will give the reader the ability to put it in perspective to see whether thats a pro/con for them too or whether it would affect them at all.
e.g. kite B has a nice bar, it is simple clean not cluttered. Pro: it has above bar depower, i like this because i find that below bar gets in the way as i unhook a lot and often grab CL to hook in. or con: its chicken loop is a bit floppy and the QR is easy to trigger, i dislike this because i hook in and out a lot and sometimes hit it accidently, however, in a safety perspective this is good.
generally reviewers should ride all styles on the kite being tested, oldschool, wakestyle, dangle style, surf, and comment on whats good and bad in each category, collaborate the info between the 2 or 3 testers and you should have half decent results.
justify the statement and there is nothing wrong with an opinion on gear in ur mags.
G'day KBM any update on when the new mag is getting sent out in the mail? Still doesn't seem to be in the newsagents either?
The mags are on the way - got sent on Monday -
pretty happy with this issue -
For the WA crew there are about 12 pages of coverage

KBM said this at the end of last week:
We shipped a special batch to the boys in Cairns -
Brad and Paul check the Cairns article after a session at Yorkeys
Mags should be hitting Subscribers from tomorrow
and Newsagents next week
If your kiteshop advertises in the mag they will also have them.
Aust. post is almost better and cheaper than the couriers with all forms of kite stuff......
But when i purchase gear out of the Yorkeys kite shop and have it sent down South via Aus Post it takes days and days and days....... so im not suprised a single kite magazine is the same......
days and days.......
Dusta he said that Thursday arvo last week? www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=67552
Wouldnt that mean we should get our mags today if they were posted out Thurs/Fri last week?
Still im with you, dont tell people the mags hitting shelves and then have people wait around for 3 weeks
scoop go and read that very carefully . Bruce said on thursday that gear was sent on the monday
see below

so therefore they were 'apparently' mailed on the 28th of june
Yep got mine too yesterday.
So good to see the BETTERDAYZ feature back. Plus some great coverage of the events in Mackay and Alva. I thought the photo of the chick in the night riding shot on p18 was frikken awesome.
Good job KBm - one of your best issues for awhile I reckon.
come on aus post. -maybe hit the bosses up to get those blokes off those sh!tty ct110's and maybe get em on some hiyabusa's. and possibly some superchargers for those big red trucks.
Mags have made it to Victoria - so gotta be close to arriving in WA
We know we had an issue with Australia post to WA - We have looked at it and asked to get them to speed it up - I am thinking they are using bicycles to carry the mags across the country.
Be patient hopefully the WA crew will get it by today or tomorrow.
Can someone please post as soon as it hits - thanks
Bruce
