First off, thanks to all who have dropped through the store over the last few weeks. Been some old faces pass through and there have been some really good times had. We have sold a ton of lumber and are looking forward to a few days off at new year to catch up with family, friends and sleep. Cheers to all those who have supported Ideal through 2007, a special thanks to you, and here’s to a few suprises we have up our sleeves for our friends in the ‘08.

It looks like it’s going to be a very special year for the Birmingham skateboard community……

We had some hot new act drop through the store today on a hype mission to big up the release of their new mp3 ringtone. You’ll be hearing a lot more of WeedMoneyLeopards on the back seat of your bus sometime soon. Braaaaap!

Well, look what just showed up at the store.!! It’s been a long while but sometime Saturday Ideal grip lackey Adam Heanu found his way to the store today, and what’s more he broke out his student plastic and made a purchase that wasn’t a late night bag of chips [”wrapped please”]. Adam and Jason ‘nahhh’ Caines were passing through, getting warmed up and ready to skate the city. On this I commend them as it’s blinkin’ freezing out there today..Good to see you both fellas.

Well, it finally landed today and a lot of folks have been dropping through to hook it up.

And i have been hiding out while a few of the sections have been playing so i can keep it all special for tonights viewing in the comfort of my own chair with a brew to the right.

If you want to grab yourself a copy then get through asap as this is a must have and will be gone all too soon. And we got a bunch of Fully Flared promo items too including a suprisingly rad ipod cover…Ask Bob for yours.

come get some!!

Been a hectic day in the store with boxes upon boxes of gear arriving and more to come tomorrow. It’s going to be like this for a few more weeks just to keep everyone happy. And if you want to be kept happy then give us a call/email and let us know of your wants/needs and we will do our level best to hook you up.

Today was Zero/Mystery/Blueprint/Emerica/Es.

Tomorrow will be a bunch of stuff from our friends at A3F/Spitfire/Anti Hero/Thunder/Flip/Zoo/Thrasher and notable others, PLUS……We will be getting our hands on the Static 3 DVD. Been hearing good things about this from Ed who made it to the premiere. Definitely looking forward to seeing Mr Oliver Todds section.

Anyways, see if you can make a visit to the store, check out what we got and compliment Bob on his TV appearance this week.
