Issue 3 of Union Press was released in early December, and if you have not yet gotten a copy you can now view the whole issue online. We are working at getting issue 2 online eventually, and are at work on issue 4 to be released some time this summer. You can still find hard copies of the newspaper zine at better bike shops across Canada, or you can pick one up here.

Brad Hill and I just finished issue three of our collaborative BMX newspaper zine Union Press. I can truly say that it’s my favourite issue so far, and I feel like we were able to cover a range of people and topics, while having the most contributors in an issue yet. As always you can get this for FREE from better bike shops across Canada as it is generously supported and distributed by Ten Pack Distribution and 1664 Distribution. If you do not have a local bike shop, or live outside of Canada, you can order a copy for the price of postage here. Check out a list of contents from issue three below and a number of photos from its pages after the jump.

– Dagg’s Kitchen: Cooking tips and a recipe from the mind and kitchen of Nick Dagg
– Team Manager Tales: A story from Harley Haskett about his best trip ever
– Build and Create: An interview with skatepark builder and bike rider Kean Fougere
– A profile of Niagara area flatlander Smoother
