| How did it come about the idea for 50s Brotherhood? |
| The 50's Brotherhood came about when we saw how much fun the boys on Crustys were having on the Z50's . We saw that Craig Mason Fast 50's USA was building aftermarket adult bolt on's for the little weapons and went woe we gota get on it this looks like to much fun. We decided to build a track for having proper races ,and my wife Kylie said hey why don't we make a magazine, and its just grown from there. |
| |
| What sets you apart from others in the industry? |
| What sets our site apart from most is that we are all about minis all over the Globe. Also that we are being innovative by making the magazine a Global community rather than basing just on Australian mini news.This gives everyone a chance of being in the magazine not just Aussies, on a regular basis. |
| |
| How did you get hooked on motocross? |
| I got hooked on Motocross when I was about 7. I saw Stephan Gall and Anthony Gunter banging bars at the Mr Motocross round at Tivoli as a grommet and that was it for me I wanted to ride like those guys, they were awesome. |
| |
| When did 50s Brotherhood start? |
| The 50's Brotherhood started in 2002 as an idea, though it did not hit the stands until 2004. |
| |
| What is one promise you can guarantee to every reader of your magazine? |
| That would be that the magazine is forever evolving ,and we are now able to bring in concepts that may not have been possible in the past. Taking it Global opens up so much possibility for the future .Especially since our sport is so young.I now have a right hand man in the US Tim Snyder of www.Pitbikesrule.com and Badseed Production. Working with this bunch of merry men is a guarantee of things never seen before on mini bikes. We also have Buzz the Flying Welshman in the UK keeping us informed.Our promise is to keep the info coming!! |
| |
| If 50s Brotherhood could achieve one major thing, what would you like that to be? |
| We really hope to put mini's on the map as a serious sport along with the -just fun side of it around the world. We want to have a global community that can all see what each other is up to, and for the readers-riders to feel connected with there Brothers and Sister around the planet. |
| |
| Where do you see your mag in 5 years from now? |
| We would like to see the magazine as a major hub for the Global Mini industry ,its riders and its readers all over the Planet.To help make this sport as big as it should be!!! |
| |
| What new and exciting things are planned this season? |
| We are hoping to get a DVD on a cover sometime this year in conjunction with the crew at MXOZvideozine. There will also be some great articles to come out of the US from www.Pitbikesrule.com . Also a new Miss 50's Brotherhood for 2007. |
| |
| Where do you see the sport of 50s heading? |
| I can only see great things for the sport as the demographics are on the board. There are a lot of people out there that would not necessarily jump on a 250,though they would give a mini a go. They can keep on riding the mini and take it to new levels weather racing or doing mini FMX. It can also be used as a platform to build up to racing in mainstream MX or riding FMX . The sport is so young and it can only keep growing stronger from here . |
