| BLANKwas started in 2004 in Cheddar, Somerset, when Rob Hill and Andy Bishop ofSplit Second Imports decided they needed another BMX brand to add to their bikeportfolio. Rather than try to acquire an existing brand, they decided that dueto the years of experience they had both accumulated in the study of bike spec,costs, design and import logistics, they would use all of their ideas andexpertise to invent their own!
BLANKwas born. The first range of bikes featured 2 distinct types of bikes –street/ramp bikes (the FRANK, AMMO, MEDIA, SCREEN, CELL and SLATE) andstreet/dirt bikes (the ICON, SPACE, STARE, FACE and EXPRESSION). Over theyears, as riding styles have changed (weight is more important these days thanstrength, for example), so too have the bikes, and BLANK now offers bikes whichare of universal appeal to street/ramp/dirt riders.
Thephilosophy of BLANK from Day One has been to offer the kind of products thehigh-end BMX brands offer, at the prices they don't! The same handlebars (8"rise, 28" width) which would cost £70 from one brand, will cost you £40 fromBLANK, despite the fact that they are made from the same material, by the samemanufacturers in exactly the same way! Quality products, honestly priced.
In2007 BLANK started flowing product to a small but hearty team of riders whohave been spreading the name ever since, at competitions, jams and displays allover the UK
Today BLANK products can be found in BMXretailers across the length and breadth of the UK, offering replacement andafter-market parts and accessories of all sizes, shapes and colours, all at thesame great price you've come to expect from BLANK, along with the awesome rangeof complete bikes which seem to get better year-on-year!
