Things are coming together now behind the scenes for the website and eshop. More news on this soon but we have a number of limited edition hoods, T's, hats and some other winter related gifts lined up just in time for a cold but hopefully not too wet a UK winter.
We have also been looking into a couple of other projects to tie in with the shop. This will see us produce other limited edition, custom products not solely limited to clothing. More news to follow.
Some news for now, we have brought on board a local street artist and look forward to showcasing some of his work over the coming months. He has already kicked things off by working on THE TRIBE, a colour monthly cartoon following the antics of a group of action sports friends. The first instalment will be online in the coming coming weeks.
More soon

Freedom to freewheel
Its done! I spent most of yesterday buying the spares I needed to convert my old Kona hard tail into a single speed commuter and then putting it all together. Now, its not going to win many points for looks and wont turn that many heads but its functional and will do the job. I just hope the legs will cope with having just one gear to take on the hills. Will find out on Tues.

Fixed dilema
There come a time in every mans life when those things you have dismissed in youth as slightly absurd or not for you, suddenly take on a whole new appeal. I don't mean knitwear, jumpers with stripes or a cardigan. For me it's comes in two forms, running and singlespeed cycling.
Running; over the years I have dabbled from time to time but there have been large breaks between shorlived periods of interest. Running is just not something I've ever enjoyed. I'll happily sit on a bike for hours, will walk until my feet are sore but running has always been beyond my capacity to grasp or enjoy. However, age does something to a man and I now find myself in unusual territory. I actually want to go out and run. I'm not talking Forest Gump here, there will be no coast to coast and I definitely won't be running everywhere I go but I have this need, desire, willingness to put on running shoes, t shirt, shorts and run around the streets. I've gone so far as to upload an app to my phone, plot a route and started to keep tack of my performance. I've even put together a mix of blood pumping tracks to accompany this endeavor and survivor does make it onto the play list. OK, in reality its been a slow start, spread over the last month and a bit, and it is still a casual relationship but I am actually enjoying it. Who would have thought.
Single speed cycling; the 2nd and yet unfulfilled element of this dilemma. Somewhere within there is a voice telling me its time to turn my back on gears and suspension, thrown away the padded shorts, race jerseys and all the other assorted paraphernalia that accompanies modern mountain biking and go back to a simpler time. A time when bikes just had the basics. Brakes, peddles, wheels, a seat, handle bar and a single gear. Now common sense tells me that as I get older having multiple gears be a benefit. That they will help my ageing body cope with all the ups and downs of commuting life. But I still have a few years to go before I head off to the knackers yard yet and the voice is getting louder so I'm starting to listen. Single speed cycling really has drawn me in. The bikes I've seen look simple yet have an understated elegance. Being able to just jump on and peddle off is a big draw. With mountain bikes/ road bikes there is a dress code that must be adhered to, a ceremony you preform each time you suit up. Maybe the draw is that as I get older I hark back to my youth, to the simpler times when all you did was jump on your bike and go. You didn't care what you wore, didn't need the right shoes, gloves or even a helmet to ride. Instead you just had fun, sometime spending the whole day just cycling from one place to another for no other reason that you could. And I think that's what single speed cycling is. Its what we all did every day when growing up. Doesn't matter if its cool or not. Its riding for the enjoyment of the ride. No gears, no technical clothing, no cycle computers to record our every peddle.
Its elemental. Its simply simple and that makes it fun.
All I need to do now is decide on whether to go for a fixie or freewheel?

Tribal Times
"a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect" http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/tribe?view=uk
Our diverse landscape is ideally suited to those looking for a buzz, a thrill, a rush. From urban playgrounds to mountains, from rivers and lakes to stunning surf beaches, the UK has it all.
We have created new challenges and formed new Tribes. Stepped outside our restricted lives, dominated by health and safety, and goverend by a nanny state. Instead we look for more!
Heading out in all weather, ready to ride the next clean wave, to huck another big drop or to grind a favorite handrail.
Whether your a slave to concrete and metal, longing for open spaces, or getting your feet wet you don't do it alone.
We understand where you are coming from. We know these places are Sacred to you and to your friends.
Despite the British weather, week after week, we get out and challenge ourselves physically and mentally, pushing the envelope and feeling alive. The truth is we are all driven by the same motivation. Where ever you come from, who ever you share it with, we are all looking for the same thing, we are all part of the same Tribe,
Whats New
This Summer will be the official launch of Sacred in the UK.
Sacred is a lifestyle clothing company from South Wales. We are a small family business that draws on our interests in action sports, as well as ther local influences to providing casual and technical clothing to anyone with an interest in action/ adventure sports. The aim is to produce limited edition apparel that is vibrant, individual, interesting and a little different.
Its going to be a busy time with our website going live and our 1st set of limited edition products launching online.
We have a big summer ahead, with lots of promotion, visiting local surf spots, mountain bike trail centres, festivals and Cities across the region. We want to take Sacred out on the road, speak to people, see what they do and find out what's Sacred to them.
In addition to this we will be launching a number of initiatives to get people out of their comfort zones, trying new things and making the most of what the UK has to offer; in our opinion some of the best urban, mountain and surf spots in Europe.

Caged
Despite it being the first nice, spring like day of 2011, necessity dictates I spend it indoors working on the Sacred website and our other soon to be online facilities.
May will be the official launch date for Sacred and there is so much to do, every free minute is easily accounted for but it will all be worth it in the long run.
Hopefully today's sunshine will be the start of a promising spring. With that in mind, the promise of milder, bright mornings and evenings means its time to get the commute bike sorted, fix the snapped chain link ready for Mondays commute to the day job. My rose tinted spec tell me Monday morning will dawn bright, clear and crisp- perfect commute weather, after the prolonged winter cold snap.
