BMX Plus! march 2008: The cover is shared by a shot of two racers and Cory "Nasty" Nastazio doing an insanely stretched super-superman seat grab. The table of contents is a spread photo of Nastazio's backyard ramp with Sean McMann inverting during a night session. Failure bikes was mentioned in Inside Scoop as a new company that was starting up and the Etnies video "Forward" was reviewed. There was also a special feature "how to" on giving yourself or your friends a mullet, which was pretty amazing. Gentry was a company out of Nor Cal that had a frame that we tested along with the Poverty G-ride. Adam Aloise had a full interview with a lot of good dirt and park photos. Vic Murphy gave up his Dirt Bros ride for a PRO bike giveaway and there was coverage of 2-Hip's Meet The Street contest. We can't forget the complete race bike buyers guide and Walter Pieringer holds down the parting shot with a whip gone bad.

BMX Plus! july 2008: Ryan O'Connell had the cover with a back flip table top over a hip at the Alameda skate park in California. Cory Martinez grabbed the table of contents with a big tuck pocket air. We did thorough testing on the Kink Cielencki frame, Free Agent Flying Fortress and the Huffy C4. As far as events go, we checked out the Toronto Metro Jam and NBL Silver State Nationals. Ryan Nyquist's monthly column was in full effect and Lance Mosely had a Faces interview. We taught you how to fix a flat in an emergency situation, and Mike Parenti showed you how to tail whip. Ice pick to fakie was the On the Move trick and Brian Foster had the Parting Shot with a tail whip gone bad on dirt.

BMX Plus! october 2008: Scott Wirch got busy on the cover laying out a back flip one-footed x-up. This issue was packed with goodness including the King of Dirt contest in Venice Beach, the NBL Stars and Stripes National, Beach Bash and more. Nyquist's column was in full effect and going strong. We taught you how to footjam tail whip and how to spin 360's down stairs. Ian Munro was riding for Kink and had a full interview along with an inside look at the Nasty Ranch. We tested out some new whips from K2, Volume and MacNeil. Rob Darden graced the pullout poster and talk of BMX being in the Olympics was in the air.
