Did they have cut and paste 15 years ago
I've seen word for word brochure text in a review, even text mistakes repeated...
I know..cos I've sent stuff in....to MBR
I was a bit annoyed, so i sent a letter in as if I was a member of the public pointing out the mistake as if I was unaware of it's origin...They made it letter of the week under the title of "Get a Life"
( If original, it was a bit of a techy spot) and sent me a prize
. Then the thought crossed my mind back then... What an arrogant bunch of F**ks.
We had 8 great team riders back then, all ages,all standards... they all thought the mag was crap apart from one... but he got his picture in a few times!
Mtb Pro at the time spotted it before print, used their own text and spotted the chinks in our armour... but gave it 98% out of a hundred, got it totally
We had no advertising budget for mags back then... at all. We where in production and design .
I wish there had been STW back then..
