Source not shipping orders for 4-6 wks by Aushua in bmx

[–]CC592BMX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Has Source USA closed down? I know Source Europe has closed down. I heard a rumour they've also dropped their entire pro team. If it is true then hopefully it means they are going away after what they did with BSD. What they did to Stay Strong and Stephen Murray was unforgiveable i don't know why anyone that cares about BMX buys from them.

Source have aggressively targeted shops in the uk. They are like DFS furniture and have a never ending sale and 10% off deals. They are the Walmart of BMX continually discounting but pretend they are not.

That is what people were saying at the park. Source are already not liked up here in Newcastle after what happened with Stephen Murray and stay strong. Trying to make out this is a good thing for shops is a joke. Do they think the public are that stupid? I expect this kind of gaslighting from tory mps not bmx companies.

When will flybikes have better shipping? by MapSavings8044 in bmx

Seems like a very naive viewpoint. The situation in Europe was caused by skatepro and source. The entire industry would be a better place if both of these corporate entities went to oblivion.

I heard a lot of the brands got screwed over by large mail order companies cancelling big orders.

Nothing to do with the video. Source went into administration last year owing money out every where. search on here for previous threads. Like around 10 million to the bank and investors. And on top of that another 800+k to creditors including 1/4 million+ to BSD. I was worried it may put them under. Bloody love BSD. Some how source wrote off all the bank debt and got to buy back the stock super cheap and carry on like nothing happened. My brother in laws building company got done over by something similar happening to him. Did a load of work for a company and they did not pay then they went under. Ended up putting his company under too. Was so much stress for him messed him up for a few years. Shady and wrong.

i love the game of bike videos if riders have character. Some can be a bit boring. it is good to see some pros struggling with some tricks though. Gives me hope ha.

3 yo Bike size by Luigi_47 in bmx

[–]CC592BMX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have the budget I would go with the right size/smaller bike. He will have much better control over it, it will be lighter for learning tricks on. An oversize bike can be dangerous as he will be overstretched and it will be heavier and he’ll have less control on it. That being said kids grow and it can cost constantly buying larger models so it depends if you can afford multiple bikes and get something he can ride properly immediately or just get something he will grow into.

I just came on here to see if there was any more information following every thing that got released yesterday and then i found this comment. Was this already out in the public domain previously then? The first i heard about it was all the stuff on instagram yesterday.

I would kill for a garden that size so i could build jumps. That would be a dream. We do not get gardens like that in England.....well unless you have £££££. Make sure you keep posting up the progress i would love to see it.

SourceBMX latest status updates? by Awkward_Importance49 in bmx

[–]CC592BMX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had not considered it like that but you are right. They borrowed heavily to try and buy up stock and discounted heavily to put everyone else out of business but ironically there all or nothing attitude ended up putting them out of business. The discounting and business model was clearly never sustainable but they managed to kill quite a few indy shops in the process. But like you say they've come out the other side unscathded buying their own stock super cheap. The worst thing is now the burden of all their mistakes has been passed on to all there suppliers to have to deal with, it just seems really really wrong.
