Issue 12 sees Alex Quirk scores our first gloss cover. Inside we suss out where Tom Patton is now after his massive fall, Simon French takes on the 4x versus dual debate and theres pieces form Paul Begg, Niki Gudex, Bryn Atkinson and Mr World Trail, Glen Jacobs. Jared Rando scratches the surface a little deeper, we check out Adam Nicholsons 'Dale and Alan Hepburns Banshee. For the racing crew theres a wrap up of the 4X season along with the National DH series and of course, all the action from Stromlo. There's a dirty big Dave West interview and you score an insight into Chris Kovarik and a backstage pass to the Intense factory for 2008. There's even some bangers from NZ's Frew Farm Jam. We rode the guts out of a few bikes and probably loved em, but then again we only pick bikes we dig... State by state news, a couple of fast rippers get profiled and Amiel signs off our biggest issue yet...
