| en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dig_BMX, september 2007 : In 1998, after the dissolution of Air Publications, Smyth bought the title back during a public auction and entered into a deal with Chris Moeller and John Paul Rogers of S&M Bike Co. Based in CA, the two decided to sell ads for Dig, print and distribute the magazine, offering a wider U.S. based BMX scene a glimpse into Dig BMX's editorial. Issue 11 featured Josh Stricker on the cover, was a travel-based issue that focused on the unusual and outrageous circumstances of travel that had plagued certain members of the international BMX community. The issue sold well throughout the U.S., but was abandoned by Moeller and Rogers after just one issue, who instead decided to produce the short-lived BMX Action, which later became Faction BMX Magazine. |

Bart de Jong, www.fatbmx.com, october 1999 : Dig magazine is up in the air again. S&M, who put out the latest issue of DIG on the American market, have decided to start their own mag after they used DIG to set up the advertisers and distribution network. Their mag is going to be called 'bmx action'. DIG guru Will Smyth and crew are talking to other publishers and still plan to do the mag worldwide.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dig_BMX, september 2007 : After the dissolution of Dig's relationship with their only hopeful U.S. publisher to date, Dig was offered the chance to go bi-monthly by U.K. publisher Permanent Publishing in mid 1999. Starting with issue 12, which featured the highly influential Spanish rider Ruben Alcantara on the cover, Dig entered into a long and fruitful relationship with Permanent Publishing, home of Sidewalk Skateboard Mag and Surfer's Path Magazine. For the next three years, Dig published under a bi-monthly schedule, offering exclusive and varied content on the worldwide BMX scene. Dig produced original content that spanned the globe, including Russia, Japan, Western Europe, the U.S. and Southeast Asia. |

| Bart de Jong, www.fatbmx.com, october 2000 :
DIG has always been one of my favorite magazines. Everything written in DIG is worth reading. No bike tests or any ass kissing to the advertisers is going on in DIG. DIG is pure, it's real, it is representing the way of life of a BMX rider. DIG is strongly based on dirtjumping and street riding, which is the direction that BMX is going anyway. A big plus is that the magazine covers action on both the American and European continent (+Great Britain, you guys don't consider yourselves Europe, aaaaiiiiiight ?). Great pictures which represent the certain lifestyle of a "hardcore" rider. It's all about the style. Hopefully enough advertisers will support this "limited representation" of our sport so DIG can come out on a regular basis from now on. Cheers. |
