/// Link of the Month (March): Fluid BMX ///

This months shout-out goes to ‘Fluid BMX Store‘ – A fairly new BMX shop based in the Monmouth (Wales, UK) area! The shop also provides a mail-order facility – I personally have relied on their mail order service and have found it to be very efficient (next day!). The shop carries brands such as Subrosa, S&M, Cult, Lotek, Static and many, many more! Furthermore, if they don’t stock it, they will try their hardest to get whatever it is your after. Nearly forgot, they have a BMX Team in the making! And finally, the shop is rider owned and operated (Elliott Pardington, BMX’er since 1982!). So there you have it, click the image to visit Fluid BMX Store now!

Whilst surfing WelshSideBMX I found this sweet edit – It features Nick Maddocks, a shredder through and through! It also features some great spots from and around South-Wales. Always nice to host vids featuring robust welsh riding! – VS

Web Video: Nathan Williams – ‘The Break’.

Usually we don’t really cover ‘Etnies‘, but this next web video was just too good to miss out on! Furthermore, it’s a celebration of Nathan William’s newly designed signature shoe – ‘The Break’! What we’re talking about here is a signature shoe designed for brakeless riding – Perfect for guys like me! And yes, I have made my pre-order with ‘Fluid BMX Store‘! Nb. The shoe will not be available until July for UK residents. And retailers should contact ‘Sole Technology’ for dealer enquiries! Anyway, check the film…
