For those interested, we have worked out a scenario with Haro's UK distributor, IMG Distribution, to import the USA Made replica Sport and Master packages in bulk. That includes the pre-ordered frames which will land in the UK with overseas shipping and VAT absorbed by IMG and Haro. Basically, buyers will pay for the packages and shipping from within the UK.
In addition, Carlo is also importing additional packages and they will be available through Alans BMX in Wigan, and Custom Riders in Selsey. Both should be in a position to discuss this coming week and both are also bringing in Vector bars, Lineage, etc
This week we will also launch our new video with DIG BMX and through social media channels

I was also planning a UK event before we got derailed by this virus. It was based on an online Build-Off contest, with finalists invited to a venue in the UK for physical judging by industry people and ex riders. The categories on my plan, are "All Original" - OG Parts from the era, and "Modern Retro" - Lineage, modern Skyays, reissue products, etc. The prizes were under discussion, but pretty cool and unique. Although we obviously cannot plan a date at this point, I am still motivated to make this happen - possibly in the Autumn. I personally feel that these projects are excellent for bringing people together and that seems important.
I hope everybody is doing well and staying healthy during this chaos.
Best
Dom
