Stunt Bike Forum - The Asphalt Magazine is going to bed.

Print is dead!

A long over due explanation! As of September 15, 2003 the Asphalt Magazine is going to sleep. We are taking a break from print. We are planning to continue our venture towards an online based magazine. Something we firmly believe to be a smart move for us and a move that would definitely benefit you, the readers.

It has never been in my nature to talk about my plans or vision instead what I like to do is show you what we are becoming. Just like what we did with the print magazine. We plan to launch our site sometime in 2004, hopefully mid-year.

We will be properly refunding subscribers their remaining subscription. Please be patient and do not worry, we have no intentions on taking anyone for a ride.

I would like to take this time to thank the people that helped us. Hope I don’t forget anyone…
