    It looks like a new print mag aimed at the DH/Enduro crowd is about to launch. I think there is certainly a gap in the market since Dirt ceased publishing. I like that this is a quality pub printed on heavier paper stock with an emphasis on imagery a la Cranked/Rouleur/STW.

    Good luck to all involved: http://sendermagstore.bigcartel.com

    #edit# I have nothing to do with mag in question BTW, I saw it pop up on Descent World.

    Great to see a new mag out and good luck to it. Not bothered about posh paper and a £10 price tag though, so I’ll not bother with it myself. Dirt was always fine and affordable (even if you did need a decoder for Steve Jones’ writing).

    That includes shippig, but it’s impossble to get without shipping – so its £12.

    I don’t want to be dismissive here, I’m a massive print fan due to my background, but I will be really amazed if they can beat what PinkBike do with their coverage of DH, and at that price I can download the PB pics and words an make my own issue and get it printed.
    Fingers crossed and I’ll be keeping and optimistic eye open on the site,

    That’s a fat looking magazine, assuming it’s the same size as Shredder you’ll be getting roughly twice the content. So twice the price.

    (nothing to do with Shredder)

    POSTED 2 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

    Yes, mine came at the weekend, it’s exactly what I was hoping it would be, to be honest. I’ve been good and put it away until my holiday in August They need to up their sticker game though 😀

    It may just be me and my social media bubble but it feels liek this has had a far softer roll out than, say, Cranked?

    I’ve ordered a copy havign seen it mentioned on a thread here but it was only in passing and I’d have missed it quiet easily (I hadn’t seen this thread)

    No mag yet here either. I ordered the set of Shredder as well and they’re a good read so far.

    I’d buy the third issue. The first one won’t be typical of the content (had ages to collect good stuff) the second issue will be stuff that didn’t make issue one. Third issue is the one that will give you a realistic idea about what goes in each month.

    Anyone else suspicious that the OP is the only one to have received it? When should we expect them?

    It does say on the T&Cs page on their website-

    “Shipping: Please allow up to 10 working days to receive your order. International shipping times may vary.”

    I’ve got nothing to do with the mag but I’m going to give it until next Tuesday (10 working days after I ordered) before I release the hounds*.

    * open a paypal case.

    edit- but the FB page hasn’t been updated since January… hmmm… does the fishy thing smell fishy?

    edit again- maybe the 10 working days thing is to allow time to get a batch printed? 😆

    Fair enough.

    *puts down pitch fork, for now*

    Edit: oh really…

    Nothing here, but forget when I ordered. Still active on Insta.

    I’ve ordered but £12, ouch

    Yeah, see what it’s like.

    I still miss The Albion TBH, and I’ve not ridden BMX in over a decade.

    Had a response from an email earlier today.

    Hi Ian,

    Thanks for buying Sender!

    We do state in our terms and conditions that it can take up to 10 working days.

    The Royal Mail is averaging 3-4 days but we’ve had a few that have taken 7-8 days and for no clear reason.

    Your should arrive next week.

    Cheers,

    Olly

    So we can put down the pitchforks for now.

    £12 come on really and your buying it !

    It’s “you’re”, and try some more of these-

    . , ! ?

    while your (sic) at it.

    edit- yes, I’ve bought a copy. I like reading about bikes and stuff and a screen isn’t really the same as paper, is it, plus I can afford to give it a go so why wouldn’t I? If it turns out to be a monster scam it’s hardly Brink’s-Mat. 😆

    I was just coming to ask if anyone had got theirs yet, and the postman came just at that moment! Quick thumb through, looks good.

    Mine arrived today as well. Looks like they were saving up orders for one big trip to the post office 🙂
    Looks good and got that proper toxicky printing smell that indy mags should have.
    Smaller page format than I expected though, for some reason was expecting a Cranked/Privateer size.

    Yup mine arrived, put away for holibobs.
