Quintesential 80's BMX movie "RAD"

Probably one of the best and worst times of the 80's BMX movement.....BMX in all of its glory! I just thought of this movie today at work while gliding around on the Shred Sled during a slow period....

Lance and Jerome


One of our most favourite customers, Jerome Boykin, is a Customs and Border Protection Officer with the Department of Home Land Security. That extensive title allows him the right to know of all the famous people coming in and out of the Wilmington airport.
That being said on May 4th 2008 Lance Armstrong cleared customs at ILM on his way back from a vacation in the Caribbean. Jerome, knowing of Lance's arrival ahead of time, printed a photo of him off the internet and got his autograph for our bike shop! Check it out:

Hopworks Bike Beer NW IPA

The official beer of Oregon Bike Manifest, a celebration of cycling art and culture, and brewed at Portland's Hopworks Urban Brewery, making few beers more appropriate for 'cross season. The Bike Beer uses locally sourced organic hops and barley to create a beer that not only highlights the aggressively hoppy style of the Pacific Northwest, but also showcases just how damn good organic beer has become. The caramel-flavored malts provide a malty background, but the hops are the star. They jump out of the glass with a floral and grapefruit aroma, and then coat your mouth with sticky pine, peppercorns, and a citrus fruit punch of bitter flavors.
Tasters say: "Drinkable with a good, bitter kick
