[R]evolution Issue 8 - Out Now
- Thread starter Squidly Didly
- Start date
yeah i think in just about evry article u gotta guess what they really ment because they put the wrong words in. Come on u think for a mag that puts out a mag every 4 months and is half the size of most monthly mags they would be able to proof read the thing.I have to say that the only thing good in that mag is the stickers, and the wallride how to too much dh for my liking
Oh the hypocrisy...

Yes. Spelling/grammar/typos this issue are atrocious, possibly the worst issue yet in that regard. Rest assured that I abuse JT about this problem every single issue, as I for one DO think that it detracts from what is otherwise awesome content.

Without brown-nosing too much here, you should be the editor. Whoever edits and proof reads that magazine has gotta be either blind, illiterate or just fucking lazy (although I haven't managed to find any typos or major fuckups in your articles so far).
And yeah the content is generally good except the bike reviews, which suck monkey nuts (probably not the fault of the actual testers so much as whoever came up with the initial space constraints and the retarded pseudo-template the reviews have) and should be either improved or omitted. Writing half a page about a bike is poor enough on its own, but when half that shit is going on about the heritage of the bike and the specs and fucking everything BUT how it rides, that's absolutely piss poor.

Yeah, the proof-reading on this mag is clearly handled by a stoned chimpanzee, but it's a very good read regardless, so I won't harp on about it.
I had an argument about this once with someone who said that it's because they sometimes get a test bike with "US spec" or "Euro Spec" or whatever, but end up listing the specs as they might be delivered to the Aussie market, which can be different. If so, I think this should be made clear in the test.
Ranting aside, though, it's a great mag and makes me wanna ride more, pin turns faster and take better lines, which is exactly what a good mag should do. Cheers.
...furthermore, something that sh!ts me about ALL bike mag tests is the difference between the spec listed and the spec in the pictures. For instance, you can clearly see a set of RaceFace cranks on the Cove Shocker, but the "SPEC'S" (when the f*** are these guys going to learn that plurals don't need an apostrophe?!?!?) list the cranks as Truvative.

Just quietly, "Specs" is technically a conjunction/shortening of "Specifications" and not a plural of "Spec" (which isn't actually a word) so in that case, the apostrophe is acceptable. There are many more instances where it clearly is not.

Yep. Got me on that one. Sorry.

DW sold Truvativ for 8 years. In that time... you know what pissed me off the most...?
People that added an "e" to the end of the word.
