XXC #7 and a contest coming soon!

XXC #7 will be available soon, by the end of the week if all goes according to plan.

Above is a sneak peak of #7's cover. I couldn't get the muddy epicness of this year's Cohutta 100 IN the mag, but I was able to get it ON the cover with a great photo of racer Andy Applegate. The original/pre PS photo was taken by Blue Basin Photography. You can see a ton more of their photos from Cohutta by clicking HERE.

Pretty anxious to get #7 out. The is lots of great stuff from all over the world in it! Plus we have some cool promos going on, including the XXC Magazine "We Can't Believe We're Still Around" 1st Anniversary Contest.

When you purchase a download of XXC #7 or purchase an item from the Merch page your e mail address will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of 5 great gift packs! Check it out...

We have some other cool things going down too, but info on those items will have to wait. I STILL need to finish the damn mag! LOL!

Stay tuned, the mag should be hitting the digital shelves later this week (fingers crossed), with the print edition to be in stock soon after.
