Dirt Magazine has been one of the most influential institutions in the way mountain bikes have evolved. That sounds pretty deep, but think about it. Who else was writing about downhill way back when it started?
From its humble beginnings Dirt has evolved into a mag that should be on everyones coffee table. After the relaunch Dirt started to move into the emerging 'all-mountain' scene, but it still manages to have that hardcore edge.



Steve Jones is one of the most respected reviewers of a bike, he's raced more than most and he knows what it is to ride a bike. He's not a bad writer either. Or photographer..
Never the less, lets get on with it. A-Z is a new feature we're running, basically its 26 random as f&ck questions about yourself. And we're interviewing people from the industry. Not the riders like everyone always does, we're talking the marketing guy, the sales guy, the guy who makes the coffee. That kind of thing.

Without further ado..
