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.
