Issue 18

Inside [R]evolution V18 we get our DH race face on in a big way, starting with Bryn Atkinson scrubbing the hell out of our cover. Inside there's behind the scenes insights and the best pictorial coverage from the World Championships in Canberra, including a massive feature on possibly the radest race to date on Australian soil, the inaugural Pump Track Worlds. Jared Rando wraps up the World Cup DH season with a racers view into the final three races and we take one hell of an in depth look at the bike (and engineering/design team) that helped Sam Hill take the 2009 World Cup series win, the mighty Specialized Demo 8 II. Aside the DH heavy content, the Crankworx and Goatstyle events make themselves known along with a piece on the up and coming all-around ripper James Patterson. All this along with all our regular features, tests and columns. To make the deal even sweeter, you’ve got the chance to win a mighty fine Chumba XCL frame, one of two 661 Evolution Carbon helmets and a signed THE carbon lid and jersey from legend DH’er Chris Kovarik.
