No marks at all for anyone who can say what BMX company stole Slapshots logo
stodgy, if you know exactly then post it dude
I honestly cant see UKB lasting much longer, they will shut it down rather than honour all the warranty issues.Especially now the truth is out about the "rider owned" company not being rider owned.As for the good sales, thats all down to the fashion victim kids, that will change as soon as the kids realise they are riding a frame made by a second rate MTB manufacturer, and they start selling them in Toys 'R' Us. Call me old fashioned, but i prefer the walls of my tubing to be thicker than 1.5mm, even if it makes it a pound heavier!I will probably get scorched for this but, i really dont think that BMX needs fly by night companys like this...it does more damage than good to our sport.The fookers were just trying to make a fast buck at the our expense, with no regard for how safe there products are. Somebody could get seriously hurt if a frame fork or bar decided to let go on them at the wrong time.

I'm not revelling in his sadness but when I dared to question what he was doing I got flamed, well some of the things I suggested turned out to be spot on. Why did he did he lie? To make money.There seems to be some sort of strange loyalty to the bloke on here, I can't understand why, if he was a politician and had been found out for deceiving the public you'd all want a lynching.Yes we should support innovation, the small bloke doing his thing, but that's not what this was, this was a big company pretending to be the small man with an innovation.Sound? is telling everyone you have started a new rider owned company, owned by you then it turning out to be lies the action of a sound man? Is it sound to knowingly go ahead with production of a substandard item when the test riders have told you it's not right?Is it sound to keep selling them when they are failing all over the place and just keep saying "there's only been three returned"and is it wrong for people to question these actions?and if I'm wrong or a bad person for saying what I know loads of people are thinking, then I'll accept that.
Too many people, too much of the time are TOO quick to jump on the band wagon here.. this thread will go nuts with pages of crap that will just cause issues & decent threads struggle to get to one page! it's fooking wrong I'm done with this thread and if I was a mod it would be locked right now so it don't escalate into more shit that the site can do without.Bru
As for Avocet, they should shut it down and go back to making "toys 'R' Us" shelf fillers........do what you know best you clowns.
I dont see anybody revelling, only people stating their opinions. (and i really hope that wasn't aimed at me).This is the first i have heard of Avocet being involved in this "venture". And lets be honest, if people had known who was behind it would they have bought the stuff in the first place. You wouldnt see a pro MTB'er riding an Avocet bike in competion, so why do they think they can mug off the BMX community. Fuk Em!I love BMX, and i dont like people "raping" it like this for a fast buck. And before the "friends of Dibly" crew start on me, dont know him and never met him so i will not pass judgment on him as that would be unfair.As for Avocet, they should shut it down and go back to making "toys 'R' Us" shelf fillers........do what you know best you clowns.Bru, isnt this site supposed to be about BMX. And this subject is a very real issue within the current BMX community yes?Sean.
