nope i went down to team alpine today to pick them up and oops. Kyle had to cancel the order cuz they dont make them anymore lol. i guess you heard right. he wasnt at work today so i didnt get a chance to talk to him more about it. im sure he will get it figured out and if i cant get the umi then ill probably get the blowsion or something else.

Rahl that is sick man, i know some have still got them in stock in the uk but not many, they work out £70 uk pounds over here + delivery , so mine off ebay for £30 uk pounds delivered where an absoulte bargain , i guess if word gets out that they have stopped making them the secondhand market will start to rise in price,
Lineone have the star bars in stock for £39.95 a set + delivery, that sounds a good price and its a good right up.

Kyle was sayin that they are gettin into bigger things and cuz stand up is such a small portion of what they do y not save time and money and stop doing it.
