OFFLINE CAMPERS: FROM THE SHED TO THE SIMPSON • Offline Campers began as one bloke's backyard project and has grown into one of Australia's leading off-road trailer brands.

UNSUNG heroes • Between the factory rigs and flashing lights at the AUSX Opener at Redcliffe, DIRT ACTION's Joe Sheppard spent time where the grind is real — with the privateer teams who keep Australian supercross alive and give young riders their chance to rise.
The return of THUMPER NATS • The golden era of Thumper Nats in the '90s generated memories to last a lifetime. Dream grass tracks, the roar of classic four-strokes, epic racing, and a cult-like following from riders and fans alike. It was a much- loved series, and recently, thanks to Ballard's Offroad, MXstore and Albek.co, it made a comeback for one round in the hills of Taree. Here's what went down.
