IMB Issue 8 Out Now

The latest issue of IMB went live this afternoon and it looks amazing. There's a new designer and a great new look for the mag. This issue I came down to the office to help out and get more involved.

It was a pretty mad few days. We went out for a ride on Monday for the trail guide and on Tuesday the write up was finished complete with a video. By this afternoon the magazine was out and we were heading out for a ride.

Cycle Show

In case you missed it, or missed us, IMB had a stand at the Cycle Show in London. We turned up on Wednesday evening and started setting up our stand just as everyone else was finishing off theirs.

I was only there for the trade day, and I kind of threw up on my lunch break, but it was really fun promoting the magazine and talking to people about everything bike related. By the end of the show the rest of the team had managed to get over a thousand new subscribers and generate a lot of interest in the magazine.

When he wasn't handing out stickers or playing with the office iPad, Rou managed to get some photos of what everyone else was showing off so check out the Industry News section of the Forum.

Blag and Swag

Somehow I've ended up with this beautiful Giant Glory 1 to test for the next issue of IMB. Today was the first time I've been able to ride it and even in the grim conditions up at Aston Hill it was so fun to ride.

Also in for testing are the sinner knee pads from O'Neal with Sas-tec padding, some more knee pads from Fox and a ton of winter riding kit from them. It's going to be a warm winter!
