Snowboard Magazines Suck Ass

September 25th, 2007

Sorry, I have to say it, what the hell is up with the folks creating the snowboard magazines now days? If I wanted to buy a magazine with pictures in it, I would borrow one of my kids.

Where are the hardcore magazines with real meat?

If I was to break the magazine down it should have

50% tips and tricks

30% Stories from Snowboarders and Advice

20% Cool Photos

10% Advertising mixed in..

It seems today its completely the opposite. I went to the local chapters today and sitting on the shelf was like 7 magazines to do with snowboarding and every single one of them was packed with advertising. I mean come on guys.. Like if i want to buy a frigging board, goggles, boots I will find it online or at my local store.

I mean they are so lacking in real content that you can finish a magazine in like 1 minute flat, each page is of a guy with a jacket on, or some boots

Heck I love snowboard equipment as much as the next boarder but its taking the piss asking $9 for 40 pages of advertising.

Get a grip and start producing a real magazine
