2014 was a belter, it ticked more than boxes for both the team and riders who sent it sideways everywhere from Scotland and a very wet Wales to the sun of Leogang and the crowds of Fort William. In Hafjell young Jacob Dickson stuck his ginger noggin' on the World Champs podium and laid down some lightning speed that set the team racing at full tilt into the off-season.

That off season has proven a busy one, Ben Reid has been flat out developing new sponsors and keeping current ones in play. With the help of new team mechanic and ex ‘Custom Sports Vehicle Builder’, Derick Davoren. He’s modified the team bus - Vampire Deluxe, again, and given her more than a lick of paint ready for the 2015 season. Keep an eye out for her if you're at the races this year.

The team has signed new riders as Harry Heath moves on to a new World Cup Team in 2015, things are looking fresh around the Dirt Orange pits. Phil Atwill and Al Bond join the stable for 2015 giving a lively injection of pace for Jacob to match and no doubt some top road based banter along the way.

So, along with all the new changes for the year, you’ll be seeing a new online video series called; Life Off The Mainland. Following the boys at the races, riding in between, bike parks, on the road antics and anything the crew get up to will form short episodes that will be sure to entertain.

 What is the crack with the mag as there has been no official word, i subscribe too..i dont want a refund only the mag!!

 The official word came straight from their website/ twitter/instagram early last week. No word from those responsible at Future Publishing via my sub either however. I imagine that's a bit of headache right now for them. About 10 mag titles are winding up print I think-all of their trad print output. I think there are 1/2 issues left and then that's it.

 What else is out now that is as good as a substitute mag?

 Nothing, never seen another magazine that was as DH/Jump/Big mountain riding focused as Dirt or gave as much time to people from within the UK 'scene'. Singletrack's a great mag but more XC biased.

 I wonder if there will be a 'final' special edition issue? Singletrack is too xc for me, thats y i left MBUK.
Freeride mag available over here?
