he doesn't mention how these shops are also a hub for the scene of an area.

Still though?.... not convinced.

I still think bike shops are an important part of the BMX industry, perhaps its an antiquated view and perhaps not the 'hub' but an integral part. I know bike shops which sponsor jams etc. not to mention that from where I am, they sell probably 50% of the completes to kids (which tend to last much longer than the internet brought ones). Maybe we are moving away from this, but I still think it is somewhat important to retain. Certainly more important than jumping on the internet cash cow like Mr. Main has done.

He goes on and on about how shops are damaging the BMX industry because they are selling expensive parts (which they mark up) and how making online direct sales will get more kids into riding, but at the same time he doesn't mention how these shops are also a hub for the scene of an area. Clearly he cares so much about the scene; he takes enough money out of it to buy himself a new R8

This is interesting, and i recall in a case (cant remember which) it was said to the jury that it should be obvious what "reasonable doubt" is. It is a doubt which is not unreasonable. I don't think there is a percentage you can put on it, which is why the courts have done their best to avoid it.

Really cool stuff. Having been to rom a couple of times makes you apreciate how huge some of these gaps are. Also good to see old skateparks getting attention again and would also like to see an edit like this from Harrow.

Not titanium, but 3D printed, and really cool. http://hackaday.com/2016/01/11/3d-printed-tourbillon-clock/ shows a 3d printed Tourbillon Clock, I found it really impressive

After seeing the film, everyone says she is Luke's Grandaughter, I think it is more plausible that she is Obi-Wan's, especially with the whole jedi mind trick scenes.

Is this in the UK or US. What is it being charged under? In UK i'm sure it is at least theft, if not some larger (i don't think corporate espionage in itself is a crime though?).
