A little off topic, but its great to see Inze doing a roaring trade with Bonts boots. When i was younger i use to speed skate (roller skates old skool style) and had some boots made by Inze. Best skate boots i ever had. They were molded to my feet and were, and still are, super comfy no matter how long you wear them for.

What was that at about 1:20? Seemed like a promo for another podcast but it was just over the top of Erik speaking.

Hmm. That was meant to have been hidden. I'll take that out and upload it again.
Thanks for the heads up.

I'm half way through listening to this one. It's great to have the MTB Show going in the background whilst I work. I'm enjoying it!

So does it make everyone want to open a bike shop?! Some sales experience, $100k startup and you're on?!

Very interesting that he hasn't got a web site. Fair call he'd like to have the web site as great as possible before launching one, but in my opinion that kind of thinking is way off (I strongly believe in taking baby steps).

All a web site needs to be is a business card. It's simply another way for someone to find you. You pay $100 to get your domain name and hosting for a year and you can then simply put up a one page site with your address details, as well as contact numbers (hey a google map link even). That alone will help people find you through google search.
