WED 23 DEC - THE SHOP IS OPEN

Okay, it looks like I'll be able to get through to the shop today! We'll be open from 9am til 2.30pm - so get yourself down to the shop for those last-minute gifts!

So sorry for any delays with deliveries, we dispatched everything before the snow set in, but the couriers were then stopped in their tracks by the huge amount of snow we had. It was impossible for the lorries to get through.

Over 2000 cars were abandoned in High Wycombe on Monday night and even John Lewis allowed customers stranded at the store to bed down for the night, making up beds and letting the kids run riot in the toy dept! Brilliant. I wish I had gone there instead of trying to sleep at the shop on a cold floor!

Okay, the Christmas Cheer is officially back. See you the other side!

Weather Update

Well...the sun is shining and the snow is melting...we've still got about 12 inches deep outside the house and my wifes car is completely cocooned in snow! Never seen it like this before in the UK.

If there is no more snow, I'll be opening the shop at 9.30am tomorrow (wednesday) and plan to close at 2pm so as not to get stuck again so close to Christmas.

Sorry for any inconvienience, but having had an accident in the snow before, I really don't want to risk it.

Keep an eye out here and on the homepage (www.radbmxshop.co.uk) for latest updates.

Cheers RADsters!

Dave

Braved the weather...

...gave up trying to sleep at the shop last night, despite the heating being on full blast as soon as I laid down on the floor it was freezing!

So, after keeping an eye on the traffic cams I decided just past midnight to tackle the 18 miles home. Even with a 4x4 I could barely get out of Basepoint, but eventually made it home by 2.15am, much to the relief of my family.

The number of abandonned cars was unbelivable, it was like threading through a post-war zone, very strange.

Anyhow, safely at home and not going back in to open the shop today...it's just too dangerous.

I will try to open the shop tomorrow for a brief time, please keep an eye on the website and blog if you are wanting to pick anything up...as the Highways Agency is expecting another 12cm today.

I'm really hoping that everything we sent out gets to our customers, I would hate the weather to hold things up. But as long as everyone is safe at home and with loved ones, does it really matter?

In the words of the Home Office; Keep Calm. Carry on.

SNOWED IN! ARRRRGGGHHHHH!

The heavens opened and down came the snow. Dan went home at lunchtime, but I held on as we had a customer wanting to pick up a bike. Anyhow, gave up at 3.00pm, locked up the shop and headed for home...it then took 2 hours to get to the end of the road. Total Gridlock. So, I turned around and I'm back at the shop.

So, I've just made myself a little bed behind the counter in the shop and am staying here.

Just two bikes outstanding for customers to pick up this side of Christmas...but if I get home tomorrow, I doubt I'll get back again! Oh, bugger.

Good news is we managed to get all the late WTP Justice and GT Zones out to customers today - I just hope the courier got out of the estate before the gridlock happened.

Anyhow, sleep tight. Damn weather.

Well, the long awaited Subrosa DTT frames finally came into stock this week and they are sweet. RADBMX Shop had the world exclusive on these frames a few months back and they were worth the wait.

Our first batch went straight out to customers and we've already heard back from RADBMX Shop customer Conor Reuss to say how pleased he is with his:

"Hey Dave, Built this up on wednesday, it rides absolutely amazing!! Very happy. Just wanted to say cheers for everything! And thought i'd show you the finished product. Thanks again. Conor."

Many thanks for the feedback Conor - the bike looks sick.

We have a couple of frames left in stock...so if anyone fancies one you better be quick!

Stephen Murray Jam - 29 August 2009

Not long now until the Stephen Murray jam down at Aliano's Trails in Upton Upon Severn. It's bound to be another awesome day and to show our support RADBMX Shop are co-sponsors of the event.

Get yourself down there, get involved no matter what your level of riding and support the event - you'll have a blast.

Update - Worlds, MK09 and more!

Man, it's been a while since I updated the Blog! So much has gone on in the last month...

The Worlds in Cologne were awesome, despite the rain. RADBMX Shop Team Rider Paul Meacher grabbed 10th in the Pro Vert, banging out some mahoosive airs in proper vert style. Disappointed that the judges placed Daniel Dhers above him...I always thought vert was about height and style, not a mini-ramp run 3-foot above the coping? Not being bitter, just stating a fact. The original 'body bag' Denis Wingham (also riding for RADBMX Shop) made a competition comeback on Pro Vert, coming a respectable 14th...amazing when you think he is in his 40s! A legend in our time Denis was the first guy EVER to do a front flip in competition in the world - it's a real pleasure having him on the team.

Billy Purcell was entered in Pro Street, but never got to ride as the rain stopped the whole section being run. A real shame as the course was the best I'd seen anywhere this side of the Atlantic. Ah, well. He made up for it by partying hard.

Highlights for me were watching Bestwick ride vert and Neopolitan on the dirt. A real treat.

The 1986 Haro Freestyle team display was brilliant. It stopped the Pro Mini-ramp qualifying in it's tracks. Wilkerson, Blyther, Dominquez and Nourie entertained the crowed with some classic old school moves including an up and over 540. I've got some great pics to share, but haven't got round to sorting them out yet. Time just races on.

Great to see so many RADBMX members out there and also to meet some of our German customers - it really was great to put faces to names.

The weekend after the Worlds was our own event - RADBMX MK09, a summer festival of BMX. Over 1000 people attended the weekend at Milton Keynes BMX Track. It was a blast with everything from a full race schedule, to film festival, camping, jump comp, bunny hop comp, old school show n shine and so much more. A BIG thanks go out to all our sponsors; DC, SE, Redline, Lightning Fast, JT71, Different Path, Esemdesign, SBD, Delcals...we couldn't do it without you.

The shop continues to grow, bringing the secret plans even closer! ;o) BIG BIG thank you to all our customers for their continued support.

Keep it RAD.

Custom Connor

RADBMX Shop customer Connor has just bolted together a custom bike we supplied him and immediately got shredding on it. Check out the sick ride and the even sweeter tuck no-hander.

Have it!

Mirra Co at RADBMX Shop!

As you've all probably heard by now, Mirra Co is now being distributed by IMG in the UK - so it's finally in the hands of a BMX-only distributor. Congrats to Carlo, Jon and the boys over in Pagham.

So, that means RADBMX Shop have become an authorised dealer for Mirra Co. Check out the shop soon for product. As always, give us a shout on 020 8144 8177 if you want anything specifically in the meantime.

We The People, Eclat, GT, Mongoose, Exposure, Salt and Snafu

We're pleased to announce that we now stock Bikes and Parts from We The People, Eclat, GT, Mongoose, Exposure, Salt and Snafu!

2010 FIT Bike Co Completes Sample Bike!

We've been given a preview on the 2010 FIT Bike Range and we now have a sample 2010 TRL 2 in the shop for you to have a look at!

They aren't available until September, but we'll be raffling this one off in July so a RAD member can be the first with this bike in the UK!

Details of the rest of the range will appear here as soon as the embargo is lifted.

Anyhow....2010 FIT TRL 2 Complete SAMPLE BIKE (SRP £419.99) - Drop by the shop and have a look!

Stealth Whip

Local Rider Charlie fancied a new colour-way on his Proper TTL, so we hooked him up with a super-flat black powder job on his frame, forks and bars. And laced a new pair of rims to his current Shadow hubs.

The bike looks sick and so does the bar spin. Good work fella.

White Odyssey Aaron Ross Grips

Another spot on Twitter a few nights ago (forgot to post it here!) is this new colourway of the popular Aaron Ross signature grip. I run the black ones myself and love 'em! Roll on more colours!

New one-piece seat from Deluxe coming...

Spotted this rad new seat from Deluxe on Twitter last night. This is the first all-in-one that i've actually liked and it's got a decent length post too.


Should be out soonish. Let me know if you fancy pre-ordering one (stodgy@radbmshop.co.uk) and I'll put you on the list so you'll be one of the first!








What Deluxe BMX Say:

Spec: 150mm Aluminium Post / Polypropylene Seat Base / Kevlar Padded Upper / Seat & Post weight 219grams - 7.7oz


Seat Info:Here, we wanted something very simple, tough, light, and also comfortable - we initially looked at Pivotals, but everyone's making a Pivotal so there's already plenty to choose from. So we did something a little different and worked with KHE to produce this new Deluxe seat and post combination: the aluminium post permanently secures into the seat base (it'll never move) and the Kevlar upper is both light and durable, so the final weight is minimal. Plus, with its comfortable saddle shape and 150mm post (you can run a fist's worth of post with ease), it's also totally practical. We have them in black Kevlar, with embroidered logos in either black, white, red, or blue stitching. Built light, to go fast.

2010 Kink Complete Bikes - NOW AVAILABLE!

The 2010 (yes, 2010!) Kink Complete bikes are now in!

Gotta say, a lovely clean well-specced range at every price level. Nice job Kink!

A few stand out for us:

2010 Kink Gap XL - £349.95

A low/mid-priced bike with a 21" Top Tube! Finally bigger rippers can, with non-pro level budgets can get a whip to fit!

2010 Kink Doyle - £699.95

A sweet pro level bike, crammed with yummy bits and a great Espresso brown/light blue colour scheme. The nuts.

2010 Kink Liberty - £449.95

In the Midnight Blue with red bits this model just rocks man. Brakeless and hardcore.
