Wow, a reissue of the one that started it all. Maybe I can get a reissue of my shoulder, just like the one I had when I started riding...ha-ha. Seriously though I THINK I WANT ONE so I can do some old school (the only school I know) tricks.

TALKING ABOUT FIRST GEN COMPANY'S SELLING OUT TO NEW SCHOOL PROFIT MARGIN'S.
NEARLY THREE YEAR'S AGO I LEFT FOX RACING EUROPE, I COME FROM A BMX TURNED MOTO X TURNED 32YR OLD BMXER SO IN 2001 I GOT THE JOB OF MY DREAM'S WORKIN IN THE WAREHOUSE AT FOX GATESHEAD. I WORKED HARD AND A YEAR LATER GOT PROMOTED TO WAREHOUSE MANAGER, THE HIGHER IN FOX I GOT THE MORE BULLSHIT I LEARN'T. FOX HAS OVER £200.000 WORTH OF PRODUCT EVERY YEAR THAT PASSES IT'S DEALER SELL BY DATE IE OVER 4 YEAR'S OLD.
THIS IS STORED IN A "OTHER" WAREHOUSE OUT OF SITE OF VISITING DIGNITRIES FROM USA FOX. IT PROBABLY HAS GROWN ALOT MORE THAN THAT IN THE YEAR'S SINCE 2004.
ANYWAY, I HAD THE IDEA THAT INSTEAD OF BURNING ALL THIS PERFECTLY GOOD GEAR I ASKED A LOCAL BIKE SHOP IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SUPPLYING MX SCHOOL'S WITH THE GEAR (THEY E-MAILED OTHER SCHOOL'S AROUND THE COUNTRY AND HAD A FANTASTIC RESPONCE, THEY WERE WILLING TO TAKE MOST OF THE "OUT OF DATE" CLOTHING,PAD'S,GEAR AND KIT KIDS OR NOVICE ADULT'S OUT. KID'S WHO ARE LEARNING BIKE SKILL'S FOR THE FIRST TIME OR ADULTS WHO ARE RETURNING TO BIKE SPORT AFTER YEAR'S IN THE WILDERNESS.WHAT A IDEA I THOUGHT, GOOD FOR FOX TO HELP OUT LIKE THIS AS 30YRS AGO FOX STARTED OUT SUPPLING STICKER'S AT BMX AND MOTO X EVENT'S.REMEMBER ALL THIS STUFF WAS GOING TO GET BURN'T  AT FOX'S COST SO WHY NOT TURN IT INTO SOMTHING POSITIVE. THIS "OUT OF DATE" GEAR WAS FOR ALL BIKE SPORT'S AND THE SAME COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH ALL THE BMX AND MTB STUFF THAT WAS STORED AWAY.
RIGHT AM GONNA CUT THIS STORY SHORT AS I AM GETTING BORED WRITING IT!!!
THERE WAS A BIG FIRE, FOX DIDNT WANT TO DE VALUE IT'S BRAND BY LETTING "ANYONE" WEAR IT!!!! I LOST INTEREST IN WORKING FOR GUY'S WHO CARED MORE ABOUT THEIR OWN FREE GEAR THAN THE ROOT OF THE SPORT THAT FUNDED THEIR EXTREME LIFESTYLES, AND THE MANAGING DIRECTOR HAS A NEW M5 ?????

I NOW MAKE SURE NEWCASTLE BROWN LEAVES THE BREWERY AND ENJOY BIKES AS MUCH AS EVER  :daumenhoch:

IF IT AINT BROKE ! TRY HARDER !! :Great_Britain:


is it true they are axeing,the good old brown  :-\hope they dont  :'(

When you say 2008 model, will it literally be 2008 or will the model year change be later this year? (does that make sense)?? ::)

If previous years are anything to go by the pics of the 2008's should appear in the summer and the website will be up in September. Which is about when the bikes are available.

Winstanleys will only be able to tell you what the importer tells them, or (as is more likely) they'll just string you along until whenever......

If you want to know whats happening as of right now, give DJ a pm.  He has the ear of the factory and whatever he says, that will be from the horses mouth.

Not that I'm saying he looks like a horse or owt..............  ;D

winstanleys are without a doubt the biggest buch of liars and rip-off merchants in bmx,

seems almost ironic that folk should be thinking of buying these flakes from them,

i dont want to get into it again about these bikes,it all got a bit silly last time,however i will say this,

anyone that is daft enough to buy one of these clearly has NO love for bmx and should be ashamed of themselves.

its a cynical marketing ploy aimed directly at YOU the old school bmxer.

just like a "greatest hits album" this firmly marks the end of the once great "haro bikes" company,

the big corporate fat-cat companies have no place in modern bmx,

we " the bmxers" control the industry now.

You wanna spend a bit more time riding and smiling, and a little less time ranting, methinks..............  ;D ;D ;D


Seriously though,  you do make a good point, although I believe you may be being a little naive in thinking 'we' control the industry...


And   (i'm not one of em, by the way),  if someone wants one of these frames, for whatever reason, who are we to say they shouldn't?  Free world and all that.......

Live and let live baby   :daumenhoch:
