I agree 100% about some things, but about others, I disagree......there test rides are generally fake, and seem to be paid off.......but testing on products, and info about riding areas, and races is good. There ads are good too.

I used to subscribe to DW, but kinda got tired of their "no real opinion" attitude on head-to-head shootouts. They always start off good, but when it comes down to which quad is better, they always end up with something like..."well, its up to the buyer to decide which quad is best for them".

Although this is true, if a mag is gonna do a shootout, the reader is really relying on the mags honest opinion on which quad truly is the best for the buyer. Leaving the reader wondering which quad the mag thinks is truly best saves the buyer from having to make the mistake of purchasing the wrong quad.

Hey DW!!!! Put the money aside that the advertisers are giving you and give the quad buyers your honest, straight from the gut opinion!!!!.....Thats my 2 cents.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I don't really like the reviews (seems like that are being paid off and doesn't seem right) and i hate one of their shootouts (300ex, Rap 350, 400ex grr i hate it) but there project bikes are cool so are most of the shootouts, they have alot of cool ads and some te pics of the super banshee is awesome...

I DONT LIKE SOME OF THE STUFF IN THERE, BUT I AM A SUBSCRIBER...........WHAT ELSE IS THERE THOUGH. 3 & 4 WHEEL ACTION, OR ATV MAGAZINE. IF YOUVE SEEN THOSE TWO, YOU WOULD AGREE THAT DIRTWHEELS IS BETTER. THE LETTERS SECTION IS THE BEST PART THOUGH, BECAUSE ITS REAL.....PEOPLE LIKE US. UNLIKE THEIR TEST RIDERS, WHO MOST CLAIM TO BE RIDING FOR 3-4 YEARS........WELL DANGIT, IVE BEEN RIDING FOR 13-14 YEARS, COME AND HIRE ME FOR THAT. HECK, THEY WOULDNT EVEN HAVE TO PAY ME, JUST TO TEAR UP A TRACK ON A FREEBIE QUAD WOULD BE WORTH IT. IM SURE MOST WOULD AGREE, AND THEIR BIASED OPINIONS DO UPSET ME AS WELL, BUT OVERALL ITS NOT A TERRIBLE MAG THOUGH.

ILL AGREE ABOUT THE AD'S, I HAVE GOTTEN ALOT OF DEALS FROM THEIR ADS.
