I was going to wait for our big Wethepeople/Eclat Delivery before doing another Blog update but we are STILL waiting for it to arrive. So here is an update anyway.
First off is our RideUK Mag full page advert that is going to be in next months issue. I think the advert looks great and to celebrate us having our first full page advert in RideUk we are having a 10% off everything sale through April.
A mazzive thanks to my mate Lee for creating this advert for us. I have no idea what we would do without his computer skills. Its all down to his USB fingers.....hahaha
Also:
GrooveBMX is now the official distributor of Sweden based brand FortyTwoBMX. They have bars, a stem, a couple of sprockets and some new plastic pedals. All the parts are designed in Sweden and are all unique, Meaning they are NOT just rebranded products from Taiwan. We are very excited about the new parts and can't wait for them to arrive with us in mid April.
Be sure to check out the FortyTwoBMX site and check all the products out.

In other news:
A load of us went ot Basildon the other day for a ride. Basildon park isn't the greatest park in the whole world but we still had a pretty good session and got a bit of footage for Mr Sutton little project. The only worth while pic we got was this:
not the greatest T-bog I've ever done but meh....
Bad news.
The GrooveBMX facebook group died so I have made a fan page instead. Go join it now and invite all your friends :)

Mark Dix slammed doing a rail and banged his face on the floor. Quite alot of blood happened and we feared it was going to be an afternoon in A&E getting stitches but after he cleaned the cut up it looked ok and he carried on riding. Splendid.
Nuff blood........haha
Here is the bike Mark that caused Mark to hit his face ;)
Words by Mr Dix himself....
