i find a fair bit of enthusiasm for riding and ideas for trails. i found that in the lates revolution issue ( white cover, May issue ) on page 34 there is an article where you can fold the picture together to make two different riders ( lycra dude, NORMAL person ) into one. the article between them gave me the motivation to do tricks and hit sections faster than ever.

I have found the best out there are [R]evolution, Clict, Dirt for your DH needs and AMB for the full spectrum of mtb.... oh and yeah MBUK is good too especially when u get free stuff... not too keen on their design though (lets just cram as much crap as we can on one page type stuff..) but still a good mag.

Mags
Mountainbike Action - for general XC/trailriding gear
dirt - for DH and interesting articles on "design classics", travel
AMB - for local XC/trailriding/DH
[R]evolution and clict - DH, DJ and street
I used to get all the mags when they came out at the newsagency but I found that dirt and MBA get a lot of re-reading -- MBUK have too many UK-only bikes in their reviews that make it less value for our money. I've now given up on
MBA/Enduro/Freewheel (xc/xc/xc) because of the change in my interests to street/park.

I'm only guessing here, but he might mean "chauvinistic"? Not sure, but it wouldn't be unusual for a MTB mag to be 99% male-dominated.

Dear God!
I've just returned from one of the most chav infested places in the world and if only I'd known all this info beforehand. I had to learn the hard way by living next door to some. I'm getting me one of those "chavspotting" tees, I spent a year doing it.
Oh, an ASBO is an Anti Social Behaviour Order, which you can be charged with for a number of offences in the UK.
As for magazines,
I've subscribed to MBA for years purely out of habit, you may as well read the latest Specialized catalogue instead. The local mags are okay at least they have relevant pricing and info.

I'm with you on that one mate, used to be a cracker Back In The Day, but turned into mindless drivvle and endless advertiements..
[R]evolution rocks.. Great content, great presentation..
Dirt is awesome, but boy does it take a while to hit Humphries shelves..
BIKE will always be the benchmark of quality magazines..
