Here’s the cover shot from Issue 93 that’s currently dividing office opinion. In the style of Mitchell and Webb we’re asking: what do you reckon?
“It’s always been on my list to try and capture a mountain biking image with lightning in it, but the shot had remained elusive and sketchy at best. A trip to Sol Mountain Lodge, B.C. finally presented that opportunity while we were spending a couple days up there riding some of the newly developed alpine trails they’ve been building over the past few years. After a full day of riding and shooting, a big storm was building around dusk and still a way off in the distance. We set out with tripod and lights and started snapping off shots as the light show and storm grew closer. Once I saw this image with Nash’s bright colours streaked across the frame and multiple lightning strikes in the background, I was more than stoked with how the evening turned out.”

shades of Genesis … and then there were three…
Love it.
The more I look at it the more I see, great picture. The colours make it stand it out for a cover, good choice.
I think it’s wonderful (but agree the “stoked” is deeply off-putting).
just like all the other magazine cover shots 😉
great picture, but not as a cover shot imo.
ok with me
I’m super duper stoked by it — no honestly its eye catching but please lose the teenage yankee dude/stoked/rad nonsense
wow! What an amazing cover pic. Love it!
It’s very nice but I wouldn’t say it’s Singletrack cover material, sorry
Yes! Do it.
But kcal, ….And Then There Were Three was the beginning of the rot.
I’m in 3 reckons about the photo. 1: I like it, 2: it would make a great wallpaper, 3: but there’s no bike, 4: is it Singletrack?
Brilliant
Look forward to seeing it on the clean subscription cover (without all the messy text all over it).
It makes the subscription copy feel like a quality product.
More like this please.
It’s stunning. No bike in it? Apart from the bloke on the bike! What do you want, a bike six inches from your nose with a sign saying ‘Here’s the bike’ hung on it?
Well done Singletrack for having big enough ones to think beyond the ordinary
go with it chaps ,it’s a great picture.
It’s alright, but would be nice to see the bike too and not some fuzzy out of focus shot of the bike. Much better than the stereotypical bike being pointed down some dusty trail.
Incredible shot, and incredible luck with the conditions. Good work!

What a brilliant and creative approach to this time of year. I love it and wish I had thought to take something like it. More of the same please.
Great composition, lovely colours, another inspiring front cover. Want to go and ride now.
Funny but I can still tell the bikes a carbon Santa cruz
