I try not to make a habit of sending you all to other people’s magazines but I think in this case I’ll make an exception. Bike magazine’s publisher (and amazing photographer) Morgan Meredith Instagramed a shot of SRAM photographer Adrian Marcoux reading a preview copy of their June issue. Now it’s pretty easy to read those big words on the cover as “New Zealand”, and the word around the water cooler is it may just be a New Zealand themed issue. Although I think once it’s in our hot little hands it might be more a “South Island” issue. Either way it’s pretty damn good exposure for our little country. You can buy or subscribe to digital copies of Bike here.

You may remember that Seb Kemp was part of the Bike test team and consequently fell deeply in love with the Santa Cruz Tallboy (29″ carbon beast). Well anyway it looks like Dain put a little iPhone movie together and Seb pretty much owns it on the Tallboy. I mean he schools all mountain legend Andreas Hestler, Lezyne market guru Dillon Clapp and a bunch of others. All this comes as no surprise to those that have ridden with Seb. WERD.

I was just checking out the photo gallery from Bike magazine’s massive bike test taking place at Whistler right now and there seems to be one face that stands out among the rest, this tight undy wearing stud gets the steeziest of all the test photos. Yup that’s Seb Kemp (green jacket), Bike magazine TESTER. Thats when you know you’ve made it. Check the full gallery out on Bikemag.com.
