Halfpipe - Specialists in Skate, BMX & Snow

Well it's been a manic couple of months. We're finding that more and more customers are coming to us over seas due to the Euro being so strong and as a result...snowboard gear is flying out! It's also that time of the year when we have to hand in our snow pre orders for next season and as usual we're offering a discount to customers who wish to pre-order items. Due to the massive increase of prices next year we are offering a huge 15% pre-order discount, so if you are interested in seeing next seasons gear just pop into the shop and have a flick through the catalogues. [
On another note, just a huge shout out to Dom at Notting Hill Arts Club and Harriet at Videopia who organised such an amazing night last Tuesday. Check out the video on youtube or skip to the minute 3:50 to see me and Alan wrecking it in our acting debut \"They call me the one take kid\". Join the group on face book and definitely go to one of their nights out...you'll have a grrrrreat time.

Just wanted to wish a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to of our customers and people who have supported the shop over the last 5 years. We wouldn't be here without you! We will be closed on the 25th & 26th and back open for regular hours on the 27th through to Jan 1st when we'll be closed again. Have a good one...from all the lads at Halfpipe.
By the way...don't you think that this girl has got MASSIVE hands?

For the next couple of days customers will not be able to place orders through our website. We are updating our order system, so in the mean time if you would like to place an order you will need to call the shop direct on 0208 969 2999 or 0208 969 9944. Thanks a lot for the co-operation folks!

Howdy y'all! Did you like my little taste of Americana? I thought it might be relevant due to Obama winning the US elections. I have to be honest, the first time I heard his name on the tele, I thought it was Osama. I just thought, 'That doesn't sound quiiite right.' Anyways, enough about current political issues...and more about prices going up. Most bike companies have increased the prices on bikes across the board due to the price rise of raw materials such as steel and rubber and even fuel to ship the bikes over. So at the moment we're waiting on some companies to give us the new retail prices. Some prices have already been edited, like Wethepeople, GT BMX's and Haro and others will be changed in due course. Bare with us and if you're unsure...just give us a buzz!

It's been a super busy month for all of us at the shop. Where do I start? Matt and I have been exploring the inner jungles of Thailand with our bestest friend Alan. It was a great holiday and all I bought back was this lousy malaria Matt declared his convesion from the scum to Spurs...get in! Tommy is off fishing this week so good luck catching something big bro! Last but not least Johnny spent a well deserved break in sunny Cyprus. He enjoyed his time away but did not age well. In other news...most of the new '09 snow gear has arrived and it all looks awesome Keep checking the product pages for new stock.
