This is one of the two Pre-Publication issues of BMX News (That became BMX Weekly, that became BMX Bi-Weekly, that became Invert, that became Ride.
It was given away free with Trials and Motocross News in late 1980

Would be good to see the early race reviews, especially the early Chatham races

I'll scan a few choice bits in soon as I get a minute.
Ruler...I'm sure someone will correct me on this if I'm wrong - but as i recall (or made up in my frazzled memory) the Higginson family signed over distribution rights from Bi-Weekly to the Nobles who re-launched.

yeah i think ur right hudu,
from what i can remember about it, bi-weekly and freestyle bmx ran side by side for a short time, then combined into freestyle bmx, which then became invert, and eventually ride...
(would also love to see some scans of ur mag
)

Yeah Joe, It was a full on weekly newspaper in broadsheet size, colour front page. I have the full collection. Some a bit tatty now.
Mark, you know that Eckington was before both bmx AND cameras were invented.
