Well not just the new one, most of the Galleries should be renamed – ‘pictures of Calderdale and Todmorden’. I realise you are based there but please publish a few more pics of elsewhere.

Oh, and front wheel clown bikes are gey :FACT:

Mor like ur ghey

Gey?

Submit a photo?

It’s a fair comment actually.. and duly noted.

..the gallery that is.. not the Clown Bike reference 🙂

And I have submitted a few myself. Never had a reply.

Submit some better ones?

Drac you cruel fecker- are you saying scruff’s pics are the equivalent of the readers wives section? 8)

If they are then they should be published.

so are Sfb’s the equivalent of the scat section?

Perhaps there’s simply nowhere else in the world as photogenic as Calderdale.

Well this topic certainly changed direction fast, even for STW!

I wish they’d get rid of the pics altogether,just a way of wasting a few pages imo

a mag with no pics?
Really?

🙂

sint shops then eh?

The sign on the way into Calderdale does read

‘Bringing families even closer together’

On the approach to Huddersfield – the signs been nicked for scrap.

Subs copies have landed. Shops tomorrow bar a few swift exceptions I imagine.

Digital subscribers have had the chance to download theirs since wednesday and it’s now on sale in our shop today.

‘Bringing families closer together’

subscript;

‘especially on visiting day’

Wwaswas
Wotchoo tryin’ to say?

*bangs mug against bars*

One of the things I found with submitting photos (regardless of quality etc) was that usually they have a theme in mind, or develop a theme, which is a mystery and if your submitted photos don’t tie in with it then they’re unlikely to make it in the mag.

I don’t know what’s in this month’s, but my recent decent photos are all snowy ones and they don’t usually fit in to the whole dreamy endless singletrack and/or supremely lush, technical trails shots the bike mags like to publish.

(I should caveat all that with: I haven’t tried submitting for years now; and my ‘decent’ shots may still not be ‘publishable’. 🙂 )

“a mag with no pics?
Really?”

Sorry I meant the pics in the gallery,I thought that’s what we were on about here…. 8)

I think there should be a gallery section in the mag entirely devoted to photos of bike leaning against posts on the Quantocks 😀

Imagine the production cost of such a mag never the postage cost.

From what little I know of publishing, if you submit “snow” pics in (say) autumn, they’re more likely to get published, as what with lead times and all that you don’t want to be emailing wintery pics when the mag’s theme is “bounding into spring” or whatever..

Of course, I could be spouting absolute cobblers.

Drac you cruel fecker- are you saying scruff’s pics are the equivalent of the readers wives section?

Surely Fatsimon’s domain…?

Dibbs made me chuckle.

I’ve sent in, a few pics that I’ve been pleased with – always had excellent / constuctive replies (Chips)

Apart from one when he said ‘the riders gurning’ – That’s my mate your talking about and he always looks like that……..

ah didn’t see this thread!

Nice thank you page to those that helped out over the Christmas troubles. MrPoddy gets a mention.

Positive comment – Revamp of staff bikes section looks really good. Smart decision to concentrate on one bike per writer each issue.

And a nice selection of bikes.

My advise is to take a good look at Calderdale. It’s where you end up when you die.

The mag is a great read but please no more articles on cyclocross even if it is Chipp’s favourite

Burn him!

MrSparkle – thats a bit much; Singletrack is pitched as a ‘mountain bike’ magazine so why do I want to read about roadie crossovers??

because lots of mountain bikers also seem to like cross bikes? It’s certainly a recurrent theme here and I’m presuming the forum users constitute a large proportion of the mag subscribers.

Too many poitless pics. Just to fill space I reckon. Ah well I din’t have to buy it.

Word got around quickly

Much better, like the German one. I like pics of my homeland.

mrs_oab just turned up with a copy for moi.

Looks good. *feels motivated to go for a ride*
