I was in there back in 98 looking for parts to put together a Floval Flyer but apparently they had just sold the last set of nos 24" Landing gears forks so i couldn't get the parts i needed. The place was dripping with product. Cant remember who it was let me in but I used to work at Ultrasport (another sports distributor) & I'd met (Chris) from shiner  once or twice at the Soltex trade show, gave him a call to explain what i was after & they invited me down & couldn't have been more accommodating to be fair.

 If only i had the foresight & cash I could have cleaned up ...... :-[ :-[ :-[

No mate i think that was L'sprit D'equipe (if i spelt that right) Ultrasport did Palmer Flow Generics Blax (Proflex bikes) which became K2  Neil Pryde & a load of windsurfing stuff.  :daumenhoch: Actually they might have got Drake 2nd time around after i left...

I Went from there to do Quiksilver Libtech Gnu & Bent metal bindings.... Good times. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
