www.ewirezine.com : Pusher (winter '98 issue) hails from Denver and includes articles on the Flatland Fugitives, Chris Young, Mike Lovegoat, and Scott Fyffe. It offers a Big Brother circa 1994 slant on its content, like reviewing porn films along with BMX videos and doing BMX Plus! type shotouts between ice beers. Pusher also features record reviews, a Gonz article on burritos, two amazing full page photos by Sean Parker and a funny S&M ad with Leo Dumlao. Pusher is definitely stepping into unchartered territories with its content, and it may not be for everyone, but it's still pleasing to see how differing the BMX lifestyle can be from one person to another, and this makes Pusher a worthy read.

Bart de Jong, www.fatbmx.com, october 2005 : Clay Brown and crew have picked up Pusher magazine again. This time in a 'zine size but full colour. It looks damn dope that way. I love the 'zine size, it's easier to take with you without crumpling the book. Pusher has got 48 pages and it's an interesting read because they say it as it is. We like that style. The cover shows Van Homan at the Gravity Games but don't expect Pusher to be a "big contest" mag. Porn reviews and a photo of Troy McMurray with a bong is more like it. The content brings: Layton Massacre 50/50 comp, Shook tour in Tucson, The Ville (Gainsville report), Evolution Road Trip and a photo section called: "Visuals".
If you’re looking for political correctness, then Pusher is NOT what you are seeking. Simply put, we tell it like it is. Every issue is packed with sick photos, rider bios, product reviews, as well as the seedy material that people have come to love. We are a full color, 48 page mag with an ever increasing circulation. After being voted the 15th best BMX mag in the world we are at it again and are currently assembling the latest issue (issue 21) for print, with a v-jam benefit story, the mountain road trip, and other stories and info that will get you amped to ride
