Your story at ENDURO Magazine
Have you experienced something adventurous, inspiring or extraordinary on your mountain bike and got photos to show for it? Then it’s high time to share your story with the world and publish it on the pages of the ENDURO mag! Read on to find out how to get your story published and what requirements it has to meet.
Every day we see amazing photos and read exciting stories from around the globe published and shared on social media, private blogs and websites. Stories of amazing singletracks, bikepark trips and adventures through countries that aren’t on your typical run-of-the-mill bike map. Still, they’re as colourful, wild and diverse as the people and bikes behind these stories and we think they’re worth bringing forward to a much wider audience. By that we mean none other than the international ENDURO readership! And it’s much easier than you think. Just send us your text and photos – we’ll take care of the rest.

About the Author
Peter Walker
As editor-in-chief, Peter is as much a man of action as he is of words. This expert, screw-driver-flexing two wheeled-whizz has many envy-inducing characteristics, including a background in motocross, several EWS race plates to his name, and more than 150 recorded days at Whistler Bike Park. However complex the bike and however steep the trail, he’s probably already nailed it, twice. Oh, and he can do it all on skinny tyres too. When it comes to guiding consumers, Peter cut his teeth at Vancouver’s oldest bike shop and now puts pen to paper on the daily translating this know-how into our editorial plan. When not tearing up Stuttgart’s local trails while testing bikes, he loves nothing more than loading up his self-renovated VW T5 and hitting the road. The fact that he’s a trained paramedic gives his colleagues reassurance out on the trails. So far we haven’t had to call him by his alias ‘Sani Peter’, so here’s hoping he keeps it right side up for the rest of his time here!
