Hi there
I had the exact same idea and I am currently in the process of getting set up. I have been trading locally for several years and have decided to concentrate on flatland.
The company has no share holders so profits will be going into sponsoring up and comers, NOT established riders. Also put more funding into establishing flatland clubs to get kids into the sport.
I currently stock KHE and am awaiting a shipment from Deep - hope to stock St Martin, Odyssey, and a few other brands.
If you wish, I can be contacted on sneaker_freak@hotmail.com

Chris Job?

noooooooo not me
think it's the chris (don't know surname) who organises the flatland classes/youth clubs in bolton? am i right?

good work fella!

Hell yes the UK is ready!!!

The UK has minimum four times as many flatlanders as in Australia. There are loads of flatlanders in the UK. Loads - everywhere - Just not a centralised scene. A shop could be a part of that.

In Australia there is http://www.newcircle.com.au/ which a couple of riders run. It's great - and judging by the changes on the site they shift some product. It's really good for the scene too - We don't need to stockpile tires etc. anymore now!

I don't think there is a single negative in starting this up to be honest.

Maybe Badman will shed some light on the idea?
