I seem to remember a magazine that came out after a few years into Dirt Magazines existence. It covered downhill, 4x, motocross and all that stuff. I can’t for the life of me remember what it was called.

I seem to think it was a guy who either founded Dirt or was a big deal there that splintered off with this.

Can anyone remember this or have I been lucid dreaming again?

Grip

Privateer?
Wideopen?

As above. It was grip by Jerry dyer.

Didn’t last long I think.

Never even heard of that one. Was it printed?

Yeah, it was formatted more or less exactly the same as Dirt. It only lasted 2 or 3 issues. I think Dirt was already the ‘one’ for that market, hence not lasting.
It was years ago as well, maybe 99ish.

Probably got them in the attic somewhere!

As said above, they only lasted a few issues and the Mr Dyer seemed to vanish

Did it also have the… ‘original’ design/layout and sub-editing that Dirt was justifiably famous for?
