Jonno Taylor (formerly of Australian Mountain Bike) and Matt Holmes of 20/20BMX magazine will be launching their new magazine [R]evolution this October, aiming squarely at the middle-ground of the Australian market and looking to shake things up a little.

JT explains, "How does this sound; Pro bike checks, maintenance with Australia's #1 mechanic, how to's by Sharples, Rennie and Trent Lowe have their own diarys, state by state news, exclusive pics from Australia's finest snappers along with crew from around the world such as Spomer and Bliss.

Then there will be, Jacob's corner, in-depth unbiased bike reviews (on bikes you might actually buy for once). 4 pages dedicated to the scene in NZ, (and the build up to the World Champs over there). Add to that masses of up to date product and industry news and that's pretty much it."

The magazine will cover all disciplines of mountain biking and Jonno tells me it's something he and Matt Holmes have dreamed of doing ever since working together at AMB.

[R]evolution will offer an alternative to AMB with unbiased and untainted news and reviews and will hopefully win back the respect that other magazine's bowing to commercial pressure has cost the magazine industry amongst readers over the years.

Sounds good to me, so good in fact that I've signed my soul over to the [R]evolution and will be contributing a Queensland news column each issue and (hopefully) more content as the mag progresses. Check farkin for more updates as the release of issue one gets closer.
