First up is our Assistant Manager Paul who's more of a two-wheeler than a four-wheeler. He specialises in BMX (although he also skates!) and has been kicking it on two tyres since the 80's. Here's his mugshot where we think he looks a bit like Mickey Mouse...but with BMX wheels for ears.
Paul's worked in store for over 10 years now and he's also skated the now-legendary Granby Halls. He tells us that his favourite current TV programme is The tweenies, but he puts that down to his kids (yeah, right Paul).We decided to probe a little further and asked him five quick-fire questions to get to know him a little better:
Q#1: How old are you? I'm 40...and looking younger every day.
Q#2: How long have you been riding for? It's 28 years since I first got my first bike - has it really been that long?
Q#3: What's the worst injury you've picked up? I once broke my foot which was pretty damn painful!
Q#4. What's the strangest question you've been asked in store? Someone once asked me if we sold frogman flippers. For the avoidance of doubt, we don't!
Q#5: What's your favourite BMX trick? I love doing whips! You can click on this YouTube clip to take a look at a few cool ones...
Paul's a star when it comes to giving advice to budding and seasoned BMX-ers alike.
If you have any questions about BMXing or our in-store BMX products, you can email Paul at paultheledge@yahoo.co.uk, call him on 0116 251 6167 or pop in to see him anytime!
