Mark Losey, www.ridebmx.com : In issue 83 we did a fake table of Contents page that looked like a page from BMXonline. One of the main fake headlines read, "Supreme Court rules Bikes Must Be Allowed into Public Skateparks." When we wrote that line it was just a joke, but apparently it didn't come across that way, because riders and parents began calling to find out how to get the info to take to their city councils.

I originally started contributing to Ride via the regional news, I believe in the August 2002 issue. I did that bi-monthly column up until I was hired on as Associate Editor in February of 2003 (starting on Issue 85, the Marvin Loettrele cover).

Mark Losey, www.ridebmx.com : We made a trip to Point X with Jim Reinstra for issue 85, and Jim had some things to take care of. First up was a tailwhip on the box jump to feeble grind on the ledge alongside it. After he rolled away from that trick I was pretty amazed and then went to ride a different part of the park. A few minutes later I saw Jim up the hill doing 360 x-ups on the box jump over and over. A few minutes later we were shooting again, but this time he did a 360 x-up over the box to feeble down the ledge.

Jeff Zielinski, Ride US #100 : In issue 87, Ralph Sinisi's gap over a railto-grind took a lot of work. The spot was at a bank filled with good obstacles, so security already knew to be on the lookout. We tried to shoot there one Sunday afternoon but we got kicked out immediately. The next day I set my gear up down the street, left my car running with the doors open, and picked a place to meet Ralph since he planned to just take off after doing the rail. Ralph took one approach and then fired it out while security was already behind him: I was actually running and still shooting photos on the may to my car. Afterwards I had to drive seven or eight blocks before I found Ralph; he was so excited that he just kept pedaling.
