We got some spring goods from Skate Mental in store, including the much anticipated Alien Versus Predator T. Been a long time coming. We also got a choice sprinkling of Girl boards and T's. And are we going to host a premiere for the forthcoming Real Video?

As some of our Facebook pals may already know, the Cliche team are visiting Ideal in April. The date is Sunday the 17th of April and the expected kick off is now a more reasonable 1pm, leaving more time to session, hang out, enjoy a beverage and maybe even a bbq. Set this date in your diary as we are going to make it a proper good time.

The good people at Zero have given you the chance to win a box of Zero product by simply deciding on the board, t-shirt, DVD and hat combo you like best. All you have to do is visit Ideal on Facebook here and post up your choice under the photo of said Zero product. What have you got to lose? You've got five days until we pull the name out of the hat. Best of luck!

The Ramp Local T's have been selling well and the bonus is that if you haven't picked one up yet then there is still a good choice of colours left in your size. Support the U Pipe Skateboard Track and pick one up before they are all gone. Keep it Local!

We have got the new issues of Sidewalk and  Thrasher in store as well as the Grosso Eagle plus some Royal Trucks, Chocolate caps and other ephemera*. The Sidewalk is a solid issue with features on Palace in NYC, the Witchcraft/Loveskate tour, and Cliche in Israel amongst others...And relating to Cliche, This issue also contains the advert for the Cliche Bulls Eye tour which will be visiting Ideal on the 17th of April. That's going to be a great day so be ready.

We are going to get the Anti Hero Grosso boards in tomorrow, both models. Don't know which colours but i do know that they are going to be sick. Plus the March issue of Thrasher will be in stock, you know, the one with Ben Raemers on the cover. Double rad!

There's going to be an amazing turn out at 5 Bridges today to celebrate the life and influence of one UK skateboardings number one sons. RIP Steven 'Bingo' Binks.

Miss you mate.

To compliment the Almost and Cliche boards that arrived yesterday we got more timber from Death, Landscape and Heroin in store. We also got more Death urethane, Death bearings and the Tim Brauch DVD 'Super Charged' which, if it's anything like its subject, will be 100% amazing. B.M.C!

We have just got the Spring Adidas in store and they are all looking so good. I know that we got a bunch of people waiting on a fresh pair of Campus and Busenitz so get in touch quick if you want to snag a pair [or two]. Look here.

We have just got a bunch of the first Ramp Local T's in stock at the store and they look so good. The design is a big old back print in super bright inks and the T shirt colours are varied so the stoke is at an all time high.. All profits from the sale of these T's is helping to keep the ramp open so dig deep behind the sofa and the bottom of your pockets so you can score yourself one before they are gone.A big thanks goes out to Fos for providing the retina burning artwork and Mission print for getting them to us in record time. Thanks guys....

The Palace clothing has arrived. It is all produced on their own T and Sweat blocks so the cut is their own and the quality of the cotton is high, the prints are choice and it all compliments what has turned into one of our best selling board brands. This stuff is super limited and we also have another item or two in store that won't be making it on line anytime soon.

We have also got some new product from Chocolate, including the Fluorescent Square boards, which are poppin'.

We always need to raise extra loot for the maintenance of the ramp space and Fos has come to the rescue with a sick T shirt graphic. We will have them in the store by the end of next week so do your bit and buy one, all profits going towards the upkeep of your favourite plywood wave.

* Be aware that the T shirt will look nothing like the above.
