Skate star Schaeffer Mclean has just shared his latest video with us:
"Schaeffer and friends skating filmed Spring 2013 in Spain and UK. Thanks to all the other skaters in the video and who did a bit of filming.
Thanks also to JC Satan - if you like the tune, hit up their Facebook page."
We'd like to introduce you to our colleague, Colin, who has today completed his first three months with us & is now a fully fledged nutcase, sorry - member of the SMB Bearings team!
Colin joins Andy in the warehouse & together they are responsible for an enormous volume of picking, packing & despatching our orders around the world every day. And when they're not doing that, they manage to fit in some stock control too - once they've unpacked & quality checked all our deliveries from the factories in Japan & China that is - it's all go!
A treasured customer, Stan Jankowski, called today to place an order for some stainless steel miniature bearings for a new project. Stan also mentioned that he's got a new-look website up & running - check it out, for lots of news & information on the stunning creations of Jankowski Weathervanes, which are in demand worldwide (Stan has just returned from a trip to Italy to install his latest creation).
Jankowski Weathervane & Garden Art website...
One of the reasons we love hearing from Stan (other than the pleasure of chatting to him in his workshop - mobile signal permitting) is that it's always a delight to find out where our bearings end up - check out this video, our bearings are in it!! So cool...
We are so, so proud of our friend Harry Redstone - he is not only a great RC car racer, he's also pretty good at the engineering behind his cars too. Here we can follow his new kit, an SWorkz 350, from build to race day...
From a box of bits...
We contribute to Harry's car with a precision Japanese bearing set at this point, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad news will all these bit lying about!!
...to components parts...
...to the finished product!
Check out a vid of the SWorkz in action here...
And so, the car is built & ready for action - Harry says of this weekends competition "Suprised with my result today, i really liked the set up and found it drove very well, quite a wierd set up at 7,5,5 front to rear - still not happy with this novarossi though, qualified b, 6th and finished b 4th not far off the bump up place! Very good day".

some vital tune-ups between races...

Well done Harry, you'll always be a number 1 racer to us! We'll look forward to keeping you up to date with Harry's progress throughout the year.
We also hope to be able to bring you an update from our RC Heli pilot, Ian Emery, very soon - his first competition of the season was last weekend & he'd had a bit of a disaster beforehand - we had an eleventh hour visit for bearings after his heli caught fire in training... more news as soon as we have it!!
