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. Below, we’ve summarised the requirements your text and images must meet for us to publish them:

Text

  • Language: ideally in German or English, preferably both
  • Length: 1,500 to 6,000 words
  • Please send us only full sentences and paragraphs, no bullet points

Photos

  • Aspect ratio: 3:2*
  • Minimum resolution: 4,000 pixels in width, corresponding to a resolution of approximately 12 megapixels

*If your photos have a different ratio, try to resize them to 3:2.

Basic legal requirements

  • Full and unlimited rights to use your text and images or a declaration (download here) by the corresponding author and photographer
  • Permission from all the protagonists who appear in your story

Is this what you’ve been looking for? Have you got one or more stories up your sleeve? Then seize the opportunity! We’re afraid that we can’t offer up any payment, but you can count on a lifelong bike cred! Just shoot an email to contribute@enduro-mtb.com and we’ll let you know whether your story will make the cut.
