August Cover Volume 2 2007

How weird is blogging? I mean the idea of Riders was to have a magazine based website that offered a free avenue for viewers and contributors to have easy access to reading and participating in a home grown magazine. This blog style was actually an idea thrown together by Nic Reeves (aka Phoam). It means that any contributor you see in the side bar actually has access to publish their own stories, tips or pictures as they see fit, without the intervention of an editor. It also mean that like this issue the cover is made and the stories are live as they happen.

The cover is a hint of things to come. More photos of quality with both a fair representation of more than just the surfing world. Its like a rebirth of the magazine. The side bar also contains links to other news from other sites which mean riders will bring you the latest as it happens.
