Bart de Jong, www.fatbmx.com, 2000: Fucking hell, this fucking magazine took me a couple of fucking hours to fucking finish! Funny shit going on in this fucking magazine. Some shit is really fucked up, but John Paul Rogers doesn't seem to give a shit. With Billy Riesing moving down to help out, shit's gonna get really fucked up I'm afraid. Strange enough though, the language potrayed in BMXaction can be found on the streets or at the trails every day. When BMXaction actually prints this shit, people think these guys are the "bad boys" for doing so. Using the word fuck in the magazine might make a big difference in sales of the mag. Wal-Mart for instance won't put it on their shelves but the BMXaction crew probably doesn't give a fuck. Cheers to the Bikes, Beers and the Bitches, as long as it goes.

www.bicycleretailer.com, may 2001: The resurrected version of BMX Action is hitting newsstands for the first time in more than a decade. The magazine, which was relaunched last year under the guidance of Chris Moeller, is greatly different from the old BMX Action. Moeller is no longer directly involved with the magazine, though it is currently published out of S&M's warehouse. But he picked up the rights to the BMX Action name under the abandonment clause in copyright laws. The magazine had not been published in more than 10 years, making its name fair game. "It's really good having a name that people can identify with, but our format and what we want to accomplish is very different from the old magazine," said Bryan McClellan, the magazine's business manager. The new format focuses on the core lifestyle of the BMX rider and gives ample space to up-and-coming riders. "We are really trying to push the envelope of what we can do to offer affordable advertising space for the rider-owned companies out there," McClellan said.
