^ I doubt you've read it then dude. The magazine is over 50% in ads, and only has 1-2 good articles, and the same layout pretty much every time. Its not that great.

Snowboarder magazine or whatever it is, is WAY better.

that is quite jibtastic, sir.

I have a subscription to Transworld Snowboarding, it is much, much, much, much better than Freeze.

basically all action sports mags are the same. random shit in the front, main article, interview, quick notes/contenders, maybe a column or two, the end. oh, and ads. lots and lots of ads, especially snowboard mags.

hey jibempyre:

Count the ads in Freeze and tell me how many 'good articles' you find. The same description you used for Transworld could and has been applied to Freeze.

Not that I care; I loved Freeze. But not many magazines, especially small niche market magazines like Freeze, can afford to run less than 50 or even 60 percent ads.

Plus....... Snowboard ads are often thicker (WAY THICKER) than most ski mags, so ads are bownd to be more apparrent.

what do you expect Hexum? Circulation can't create enough profit...something has to. And, obviously, they neither of the latter was able to hold up, hence Freeze being axed.

one of my favorite thing about snowboarding magazines (aside from being better in general) is looking at the ads, they usually all kick ass graphically. i wish ski magazines would step up to that and actaully put some time / creativity into their advertising. has anyone seen the glove ads in the latest freeskier? it brings the sport back 5 years

Those ads look cool, but have absolutely nothing to do with snowboards whatsoever...

You think the Feeze will beable to go back to the way things were before transworld. i know it wont ever be the same but i liked freeze before they started to put Mcdonalds ads in the mag. From what i can tell Freeze was more popular then Feeskier. so what they took the mag and made it independent. Or started a new mag up to replace it
