The Daily Grind

Don't fear the panda!

The spring re-stock at Ideal continues at a pace. Today it is the turn of Enjoi clothing. We have had a bunch of the new T’s and sweats arrive today. Take a look here.

Plus, take a look at the Adidas page for a new colourway of the Busenitz.

KR3W Spring in stock now.

Just spent some time getting the KR3W range into the store and onto the shelves. It’s all looking amazing, with the new Lizard King denim and the bargain Special K Slim [retailing at £40] taking the denim crown and a whole slew of new T’s including the Mono Tie Dye which is, how you say, Rad?!!!!

Take a look here.

SSSSSHOE SSSSSSALE.....

You need shoes….?
We got shoes……!
We are knocking the price on a large selection of styles down to £29 so if you spot something you like then grab "em as they are going fast…

Nike SB X Fluff.

We got sent some copies of the immense Nike SB Fluff book. It took 18 months to document all the European SB riders and as there are so many of them the book is a beast weighing in at 600 pages thick. Fancy owning one of these? We are going to give our copies away to anyone who buys Nike product in store over the next month. All you have to do is ask to be entered into the draw when you make your purchase. Learn a little more about the project at the Fluff microsite here.

DC x Ideal.

On Friday the 12th we will be hosting the UK DC team at the ramp…..Leo Smith, Sean Smith, Dave Snaddon, Dylan Hughes and Keith Walsh will be attendance. Will start at 5pm and go on until we are finished…..Ripping!

Kingpin 74.

Congratulations to Kris on his Kingpin interview. Always stoked to see him all up in the media and looking forward to the Vans video even more now. Working on getting a premiere for it here in Brum. Keep ’em peeled.

And of course, we got Kingpin in stock…….!

Palace Waywards on tour......!

Just had a call from a representative for the PWBC.
I was informed that Palace Skateboards are going to be lurking at Ideal on the afternoon of Monday the 1st of February for a few hours getting cell phone footage of their UK tour.
This means that we are going to have Ollie Todd and Lucien Clarke in and around the store/ramp plus Tim&Barry from DontWatchThat.tv playing rowdy music that’ll make you scowl…..Grimey….!
Will Rudeboy Mandemi make the trip north?…

Cold Ones.....

Just had a visitation from Liverpool/Lost Art’s finest ambassadors Cold Ones.
In town for a quick session on the ramp and then down to the venue to set up for tonights gig.
If you like the look of this clip then maybe get down to the Academy in Dale End. Doors at 7.00pm, Kicks off at 8.00pm…..

"Looks like we got ourselves a reader!"

We got ourselves some copies of the Cliche Resume book in the store, and after a quick look through, i have to say it looks a mighty impressive document that is testimony to the mark that Cliche has made on European skateboarding.
A worthy addition to your coffee table….

Prevent This Tragedy....

Yet more product arrived today with the full range of Anti Hero Butt Alert pro models back in stock and we also got a few copies of the February Thrasher which comes with a free copy of P Stones Prevent This Tragedy DVD.

Lumber.

There may be snow,ice and cold outside but we are busy keeping skateboarding all warm at Ideal. The ramp is open as a shelter from the elements and we are getting a load of new stock in on a daily basis. Today it is the turn of Blueprint, Kill City and Toy Machine.

Oh, and as a bonus, we are getting the latest copy of Thrasher that comes with the free Prevent This Tragedy DVD tomorrow. Still only £3.50.
Can you say Bible?

Spring Has Sprung!

We just got a few new items from Vans this afternoon. A red hot Chukka Low, a real nice low tech style 106 and a slick Super Tuff Half Cab Pro. Very nice. We also got a top up drop of media from This, That and the Others to the Flip DVD.
Winter warmers each and every one.

Brrrrrrrrr!
