My only suggestion is try not to focus just on MX even though that is the name of this site. Lots of us ride 2T's but ride and race woods.

My friend started a traditional archery magazine (building bows and hunting with trad gear) a few years ago. It was a lot of work and he ended up selling it after 3 years. But it was a good experience. I did a few how-to articles, but honestly I don't enjoy writing. He got the majority of his subscriptions from setting up at archery shows, so setting up a booth at races will be a good idea I think.

I like the newspaper format and with as much info. as possible.Ford is right,modern mags are very thrifty when it comes to providing all the bike data,often the weight of the motorcycles is not even listed anymore.I have boxes of mags from the 70's and they are so much more comprehensive then modern magazines with race results from all over the globe,new manufacturers etc. :)

I think a magazine would be a great idea for TSM! I think along with all of the information on how to work on the bikes etc you should have some of your products in the magazine as well. Or if it is still going on we should put the projects that TSM is working on. Also compare/contrasts articles for bike parts. I really hope the progress of this magazine works out!  ;D

Yes the mag should exude all of the qualities of our favorite mags from back when they made themselves our favorite mags and not just "the mags we're stuck with".
I swear if it comes together and I see one picture of a kid with a sideways hat and his pants hanging off his ass without a joke caption under it, I will boycott!~!

If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

A good way to test the market would be to like a previous post and put out a paper. Cycle News is gone so there is a void. Put a grass roots effort into stories, tests, history, mods, and maintainance. All the aftermarket companies would jump at a chance for an introductory ad rate to get the thing funded. It needs to be complete for that "first impression". Get it to market using vendors that follow Nationals, SX, GNCC, local track, etc. Set out to break even at best as an incentive to get all involved. Monitor market response and see if it will become a real business.

Posting a prototype mockup un this site with a comments section would be a good way to start.

Meaning it will be a very expensive and hard to distribute product?
