Welcome to oldschoolmags.com
When I got back into BMX a few years ago after almost 20 years away from the sport I was keen to see some of the magazines that I had enjoyed reading so much when I was growing up. Sadly I had lost all my mags in the late 80's, so I searched the internet hoping to find copies somewhere online. I found some at 23mag.com but there was only one issue of BMX Plus and no issues of BMX Action (which is what I was really interested in seeing). So I started thinking that it would be really cool if there was an online archive where all of these great old magazines could be freely shared and enjoyed by all. I didn't know it at the time but these thoughts were the seeds of what would become oldschoolmags.com.
Since then I have been busy trying to get my hands on as many issues as I could to share online. I have had a lot of help from many good-hearted people (see the contibutors page) without whom much of this work would not have been possible. I originally used online sharing sites to make these files available, but as the number of files continued to grow it became clear that this was a messy and sometimes unreliable way of sharing files. And thus, oldschool.com was born.
These magazines and books hold a lot of great memories for many people and are made available with the utmost respect to the original producers, publishers and writers. They are important historical documents that chart the growth and developmentof BMX, from kids just having fun on their bikes to a full blown professional sport. They are a record of events, people and milestones which should be remembered for as long as BMX is around.
The content on this site is made freely available for all to enjoy. There are no fees or memberships of any kind. But as you can imagine it takes a lot of time and effort to convert all of these magazines and books into a digital format. So please keep in mind that you can help us to continue this work by making a donation here. All funds collected go to cover the site running costs and associated costs of sourcing and making magazines and books available .
So pull up a comfy chair and start browsing. I'm sure you'll find a lot to enjoy. And don't forget to check back regularly as I usually upload a new mag each week.
