RADBMX Community help needed ... Radii Ramps tool theft

(1/5) > >>

ED209:
I'll start this off by making it VERY clear that there's no obligation here ... no necessity ... just act on this information as you see fit.

Last night long time RADBMX member and general top bloke TwoBobRob's Radii Ramps premises were robbed and every power tool they could carry were stolen.

To quote Rob ... mainly because it sums the situation up "I have had the rug pulled out from underneath me"

Rob is one of those rare guys that would lend or give you a kidney if it helped you out. He's spent his life involved in BMX ... ever read Dave Spurdens Freestyle BMX book? most of the 'how tos' in there are him  :angel: I grew up learning tricks from that book and just for that reason alone I owe Rob.

Under the umbrella of Radii Ramps, Rob travels the country putting the shoddy work of council contractors right ... or repairing the damage that thick tossers inflict on skate parks ... or turning your knackered shoddy spot into a thing of beauty ... solid and ridable for years to come.

Most relevant to us, Rob & crew built the ramps for last years MK and is mid way building the updated ramp set up for this year ... but now he is without tools and starting from scratch.

Radiii is a small and personal operation ... profit is not as important as professionalism ... his pride in his work is what drives him. He has some insurence but these things take time to arrive and won't cover it all ... and Rob needs tools to work.

So ... what I'm going to do right now is put my money where my mouth is and send a tenner to :

 twobobrob@gmail.com

... all I'm asking is that if you think its right ... send Rob something too.

To repeat ... there's no obligation here ... no necessity ... just act on this information as you see fit... I know I have.
