A Few Changes to XPogo
Ok, most of you have probably realized that we did not have a February issue. Despite our best intentions we just couldn’t make ends meet to pull together a worthy issue, so we decided it might be best to just skip it. After some more talking we realized that it might be better if we just start putting out issues every other month. There’s just really not that much going on (especially in the winter off season) for us to write about. So, the idea behind the bimonthly schedule is that we will be able to fill each issue with quality articles, and more updates rather than rushing out less than decent material.
Also, the online competitions, we plan to do more of those. They’re on a temporary hold right now until we can work out something that may be a better prize than just getting your name on the front of one issue. We’re thinking of getting a mass number of stickers printed out and maybe sending out a handful of those or possibly even t-shirts if we get the money. Other than prizes we kind of want to find ways to diversify the types of competitions we offer. Some possibilities I was thinking of are, best trick, best gap, best edited two minute video, and possibly a photo contest (based just as much on the artistic qualities of the photo as the trick.) If you’ve got any ideas as far as that go, feel free to let us know, and check back next issue to see if we’ve got a new competition up.
Um, yeah I think that’s it actually… if anyone’s got any ideas regarding any improvements we can make on the site, feel free to send them to me at nick@xpogo.com.
