Once again I thought I would share with you what’s inside the new Cream…
The March/April issue of Cream was waiting on the kitchen table as I returned from work today, I love Cream magazine, and it’s cultural look at the bmx lifestyle. The cover has Raphael Chiquet and Matthias Dandois holding their bikes above their heads overlooking the skyline of Paris, the 8 page cover story is called “flatmate”, pretty self explanatory really, these two have moved in together, and shows great photos of these two at riding spots really near to their flat, Parisian lifestyle shots, something you would never see in any other magazine. The editorial by Raphael runs on the theme “we are too much in the magazine? So what?”…Raphael discusses the pro lifestyle” You need to be everywhere and everybody has to know it. It’s like a sport, you have to put a piece of head, the end of your arm in every photos. It’s part of pro riders obligation (that’s how we eat)”… This issue as the editorial states features a lot of Raphael and Matthias, but if you look closely also they are also contributing a hell of a lot to the magazine as well, they are travelling, writing text, taking photos, and reporting this back on the pages of Cream, as Raphael invites “don’t hate us when you see us in the magazine. Move your ass and just try to take our place…” So what’s in the rest of the magazine?
