Snowboarder Mag has folded!

Avatar

Snowboarder Mag also had a website. There’s some really good magazines out there and they’re doing well as far as I know. Transfer Magazine is really leading the way and honestly, they probably took a big chunk of Snowboarder Mag’s business. You have to keep it fresh and interesting - roll with the punches and all that. Just my opinion.

Yeah, TRANSFER definitely stole a major chunk of the market with their great uncluttered look, that had amazing photography!!!!!

They did it right when some became too complacent!!!!!

Sorry to see magazine has to be folded up…
I guess to do with culture changes like video rental has shut down due new video rental online….
Be honestly I haven’t buy magazine for very long time, I always check latest on any forums thats free and easy…

Yeh i see where your coming from, but to me there is nothing better than sitting down with a magazine on my lounge and reading through it, same reson i will never, ever get one of those kindle contraptions*, i like sitting down and smashing through a book.

I smashed a few on my flights from LA


*i sound like an old person…

same with Deano and Mizu. I’ve had to do heaps of online article reading for my uni but I’ve been printing them all off to read. I get so sick of reading long articles on a screen.

A fresh new bodyboard/snowboard mag in my mitts is one of the best feelings for me! I don’t get anywhere near the same thrill out of seeing photos online as I do in print.

Quoting your flight, yeh I do get a or 2 mag on domestic flight. I hate small TV screen# behind flight seat

I find some mag such as fishing, outdoor, etc… sometime repeats and bit boring… IMO

I thought i would be the same with the kindle.

I got one for long trips etc but thought for my favourite authors i would still get their ‘real’ books.

I haven’t read any of my favourite authors in over a year cause i can’t be arsed buying the real book, but refuse to buy the kindle version.

What about the foreign movies????? I would’ve thought that they had subtitles in this day and age????? Even free to air Digital has it!!!!!!
