New for 2005 is the Shred/Bikemagic.com team. If you look closely however you will see that the team is still made up of the same good value guys that have been a stalemate since the original Shred team in 96. All of the team live in Plymouth, hold-down regular jobs and race for the love of it - no other reason.

The essence of the team isn't about racking up as many victories as possible it's about having a good time and getting involved. You will find us at most events on the UK calendar, enjoying what we do and getting all the facts for both the mag and the website.

So look out for us and don't be afraid to pop your head in and say 'alright mate'.
