Forums do not = magazine.

Sure there is a LOT of information on a forum. But the main point of a forum is for discussions about topics.

Magazines however need viewers, so they persue things like in depth-interviews, or hire photographers to cover an event, host their own events, blah blah blah and so on. These things you MIGHT get from a forum, but it is minimal, and likely few and far between.

Is it official that there will be no 12th issue or is it still just in a state of uncertainty?

How about the USA quarterly publication "On one Wheel", is it dead also? Last year I did the yearly membership but didn't get a single issue.

With print in general declining, it's not surprising that these magazines would have a hard time with such a small market. But with the advent of ipads and smart phones etc, maybe some will start to come back purely in the electronic form.

On One Wheel is now an electronic magazine, delivered in PDF format. This has been done via email, and apparently you didn't get added to the list. Time to complain!

Go to the link below and click on Membership, then explain when you joined and request all issues including the one that was current when you joined. Hans is a good guy, he will hook you up.
