NEW Freehub Magazine VOL 3.2
Freehub is different than any other Mountain Bike publication on the market, and will always showcase community generated content and a mixture of Art and Photography on their covers as shown here on Volume 3.2.
Freehub is a community generated mountain bike journal written by the people out there riding and building our world. This section is dedicated to the people that inspire us and contribute to our dream.
“Choice. It is one of the greatest gifts in this life. We all have it. Most of us get to choose what we want to do for work, for fun and for relaxation. As riders, we make many choices regarding our shred time. What type of bikes we ride, which trails or routes, the kind of weather we are willing to endure. Most importantly we choose whom we want to share these experiences with. Rolling on two wheels with close riding buddies makes our free time exponentially more enjoyable. The old adage goes: “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.” While this is true, there is a whole other level within the bike community that falls between friends and family: the Chosen Family.
The Chosen Family is the group who’s there to push you to your limits, to laugh at you as you crash face-down into a mud puddle; to watch out for you on the trail—and in other aspects of life—and to share stories from the day with over a round of brews. The Chosen Family is the group of people whom we trust, whom we love, the people we are proud to have by our sides when we succeed, as well as when we fail. The people who get us. And are there for us.
We at Freehub Magazine strive to be part of your Chosen Family. By relating stories and photos from all aspects of riding, by delivering tales from all corners of the bike world, when it comes down to it, we’d be honored to be in your inner circle.
We like to hear from you and see the many aspects of our global Chosen Bike Family. We want to ride bicycles with you, relaxing at the end of the day with a cold one, and simply and utterly revel in the great time and shared experience.
Here we are at Volume 5 of Freehub Magazine. This could never have been achieved without the support and love of our Chosen Family: the riders, the readers, the trail builders—our friends. We sincerely hope you enjoy the stories contained in this issue.

Our Product
Freehub Magazine is now a tri-annual print publication that circulates three times a year as 'coffee table' collective Mountain Bike journals. The publication is distributed through Chapters, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Bookstar, Mountain Equipment Co-Op (MEC), Hudson News, and local bike shops around the United States and Canada. Our primary focus is in the community and the people that make our international biking community so great. It is these people that drive us to produce one of the only community generated mountain bike publications in the world. After 5 issues, we have refined our print journal and website to create a better, more well rounded product that helps tell the stories of our community and inspires riders, builders and advocates to get into the woods.
Duncan MacKenzie was one-of-a-kind, and contributed a great deal to the mountain bike community around BC. He is missed dearly.
Avalanche Sports in Breckenridge, CO wrote one of three trail and ride reviews in Volume 3.2. Others that accompany it in 3.2 are from Republic Cycles in Brackendale, BC and Kristian Jackson in Kingsport, TN.
Freehub loves to feature different riders from different disciplines, and issue 3.2 has a DH profile on Luke Strobel, a Enduro profile on Matthew Slaven, and a XC/Cyclocross profile on Brian Matter.
Photography is an important and expressive part of sharing and documenting our world, so we curate profiles on emerging and established photographers like this image from a current profile on Margus Riga. Other inspiring photographers in our current issue is Garrett Grove.
Freehub always takes a look into the industry and people that make it grow by operating and owning something unique. In Vol 3.2 we take a look at Anderson Wood Fenders and his story.
Bikers are always looking to adventure, which is what keeps us exploring new terrain. In this issue we take a ride in Chico to explore what they have to offer mountain bikers and friends seeking adventure in ride-able destinations.
Southern Off-Road Bicycling Association is one of the features in 'Our World', a section that is dedicated to the endeavors associated with growing and building our sport.
We take pride in offering the very people who read Freehub a chance to get published by submitting their own stories based on personal experiences. In the magazine you can find trail and ride reviews, profiles on riders, photographers and filmers, stories focused on companies and their origins, stories on biking communities, and authentic Freehub features. If you care to contact us for content submissions, subscriptions, or feedback you can do so through our website at FreehubMag.com.
