Glad it's all sorted mate, lets all pull together and raise some hard cash to help our Bro out

Thats great, come on you lot lets get some real support for this, we managed 33 riders for Hersden, if we can do that again its £300 straight to Stephens fund. Plus its a great chance to get some real practice in ready for the RADBASH in a months time

I'm going to join the OS group but I'll be on my Nu Skool DK as my Redline is awaiting a Chris King from the States and I don't want to build it back up again just yet. I'm sure no-one will mind an old rider on a NS bike as it's more money in the entry pot. Come on guys let's see some more names down as this is a great opportunity to get a few laps in before the August bash. Lee's put in a lot of effort to get this up and running so let's support him.

Im well up for this, and happy to be doing our little bit to help Murray.

I am trying to get my OS bike sorted out. Just need a BB spindle and tyres and its there. I will probably bring 1" threaded / 990 mount mid school bike too, just incase there is a problem with the OS bike. Like Humps00 said, Im sure no-one will mind, and I dont really care what class I ride. As long as I get a roll round, and some of my money gets to stephen.

Still hoping to be there, fingers crossed.

But please buy plenty of raffle tickets as I'm donating a dialled bikes frame to MK as a raffle prize. Be a shame if someone got it and they only bought one strip for a quid!

Update from last post. I felt guilty whilst in the garage getting the DK down from the rafters to check it out. Decided to digress and greased up the gritty, cr***y bearings on the Redline and screwed it all back together. So, count me in the OS class. Humps

Cheers guys. I wish I could do more, but the fact is, I've only sold a couple of BMX frames all year.

Fortunately, the mountain bike side of things ticks over nicely, otherwise there would be no dialled bikes BMX products or race team.

I think I have clearance for Sunday, so hope to see you all there. Nik, I will still bring the frame to Daggers on Saturday, just in case though.

Now how the fook does that work?? I love my old school bikes and have real trouble with new school, but the dialled bikes are positively excellent, what is wrong with people? they really need to have a ride on your bikes before buying some of the crap that they do!!

Perhaps you should organise a test ride day mike, where anyone interested can test ride the bikes on a track or park!!
I for one know what my new school bike is gonna be in 2008

dialledbikes · « **Reply #14 on:** July 05, 2007, 12:37 PM »

It's just the way the BMX market is Ratty, especially the race scene.

I'd say only around 600-800 people race regularly nationwide (average national is 350-400). Out of that number, 50% are probably too young/small to ride a dialled bikes frame. And a percentage of the remainder probably wouldn't want to buy a dialled bikes frame anyway as there is still a lot of kudos attached to owning an American branded/American made frame. Also, you can get a bloody good complete race bike these days for under £300 and I'm trying to sell frame and forksets for that price.

I will stick with it though as I have loved BMX since I first set eyes on Official BMX Magazine (the one with Tim March on the cover doing the big table at Slades Farm) and traded up my Grifter for a Moto One! And the satisfaction it brings when I can help kids fulfil their goals and potential is enormous (I've had 3 number 1 title winners and world No.4 on the team since I started it in 2005). It's like I'm reliving my youth through them.

Rome wasn't built in a day and I look at what people like Chris Moeller, Mat Hoffman, Rick Moliterno (and before them Gary Turner and The OM) achieved with their bike companies as inspiration. I never set out to shift loads of frames and get rich anyway, just to create something that is as meaningful to the new school as companies like SE, GT, Redline, Skyway, etc were/are to us old schoolers.

Thats what I like about you, The fact that you love the sport, you still ride and the support you give your guys an girls.

Well from what I can see BMX is on the up, and the people who support the sport like you, alan and groove will be there when it becomes a giant once again!!!

dialledbikes · « **Reply #16 on:** July 05, 2007, 02:50 PM »

cheers Ratty, it's nice to be appreciated.

I'm loving my riding and racing more than ever now, as I never really got chance to race much as a kid (pushy parents who thought that school and getting into university was more important than athletics, football and BMX), just the odd local race and regional.

30-39 cruiser is a fast class these days, but a lot of fun (regionals that is, I haven't had the bottle to race many nationals).

RATTY · « **Reply #17 on:** July 05, 2007, 04:49 PM »

Well im going to give the nationals a shot next year, hopefully on 20", but maybe 24", only trouble will be lining up against my old adversary Tony Slater..

Ill go if you go

dialledbikes · « **Reply #18 on:** July 05, 2007, 08:26 PM »

I will be doing some nationals next year for sure Ratty as I will be in 40+ and (no disrespect to 40+ as there are still some fast/rad guys in that class) will feel a little less out of my depth. The 30-39 guys would slaughter me at nationals, but I think I could probably scrape a few B-finals in 40+.

Humps00 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 05, 2007, 09:12 PM »

Any chance of getting an Administrators central mail out to all Radsters about this meeting as I fear attendance will be lower than it could be and I'm sure there will be peeps on here who would support the event but don't spot posts such as this. Time is ticking by and I can hear the words of many "I didn't know it was on otherwise I'd have been there" after the event. Alternatively anyone reading this can help by sending out an e-mail to BMXers in their e-mail Address Book who might not frequesnt RAD or BMX Talk for info. Post the link http://www.bmxtalk.co.uk/viewtopic.php't=11885 for times, race fees, etc. Thanks, Humps

Moschops · « **Reply #20 on:** July 05, 2007, 09:40 PM »

Mike how about a Dialled 18" micro mini frame? forks and bars too.

Redline have it sewen up at the moment as they are the only ones who make it, oh and for those of you who have one wait till you need a tyre or innertube

Redline have shafted us all

Our little club has tonnes of nippers in it, and they are all looking at Redlines, I tell you what you would sell more than a couple

Sorry to digress, where else can we plug this event?
