Its just a little snow

New reading material showed up yesterday!  Thanks Animal! 
Need a balance bike? Or maybe a 16-20" kids bike?  We have em
Hows about a PK Ripper just like Dad had?!?  16" and Race ready 20" both in stock.
Front load stems still look the best.  How about a Christmas colored scheme for your bike... Tommy Dugan's stem from Odyssey looks very clean.  And this Tempered one in red is Bad ass! 
Its snowing out today.... Supposed to get upwards of a foot.  Personally, I love it and cant wait to drive home in it.  But some seem to think its the end of the world as soon as the white stuff starts falling.  Its NewEngland folks.  Relax.  Go fire up the Subaru or 4x4 and head out to the shop.  Its a perfect winter day!  Happy Holidays!

Christmas 2013!!

    Damn, I havn't made a post here since last February!  A lot has happened in 10 months... The biggest thing being that we moved the Shop!  Only a 1/4 mile from the old space, we are now located at 141 N. Main st. Florence, Ma 01062.  North main street is also Rt 9. So you cant miss us. We are right in-between the center of Florence and Look Park.  Come check out the new space,  its sooo much better!  
    We have lots of bikes in right now, so there should be something for everyone... On the freestyle end,Subrosas, Kinks, Fits... For race bikes we have the whole Redline MX series in stock, with a few Prolines, and Flights always available.  For Mom and Dad, we have added a whole commuter series to choose from.  Torker Graduates, T300s, and U Districts are all here, along with Single speeds (fixed or free) from Masi.  How about a FAT BIKE? We have one here from Origin 8, and Surlys are always available.   Need a 26" dirt Jumper?  Got 'em.  Haro's Steel Reserve is pretty sweet for the $.  Or if just crusin is what your are after, look no further than the Volume Hessian.  26" wheels with a BMX heart and sole. Kids bikes?  We got em. Balance bikes, 16" bikes, 18" bikes...  Need some T shirts, hats or beanies?  We have em from the likes of S&M, FIT, Subrosa, Kink, Banned, Animal... How about some shoes?  Etnies should have you covered.  Have a little brother or sister that is bugging you for a scooter?  Still have those, too. From Sacrifice, District, Dominator, Royal... with parts from Tilt, Proto... Need your bike repaired?  With Zach Burns and myself turning wrenches, we can fix just about anything.  And we will always be honest with you and never over charge
    Its been 7 years now since I opened the doors to Full Circle.  We have learned a lot in that time... We have built something that even I couldnt have imagined. Thank you to all that have supported me through the years and here is to another 7!!  See you soon! -J

The goods

Heres a few goodies that have arrived recently.  TREE, Profile, Animal.  Cant go wrong there.  Come stop by the shop.  Theres always a video on AND the ping pong table is getting pretty serious! Spring is not far away!!!

Never posted this...

So Chowder has come and gone.  The spoon has been from Chesterfield to Danielson, Ct, back to Chesterfield and now rests in the parking lot in front of the bike shop.  A day does not go by that we do not answer some sort of question about it... " what is it?" to "why" are the two most common.  Which always leads me into the whole story of how it became what it is today. 
   I love the spoon. Its so much more than just a rad obstacle to ride. Its a drawing on a piece of paper that became an 18 foot sculpture, with all of the things that go along with making such an item.  So many people came together to make it happen.  Time was spent when there wasnt any time to spend.  Schedules were rearranged, buildings were loaned for work space, tools were borrowed, money was fronted, hell, there was even a heart that was attacked right after completion!. ( Dont worry, the soul won and the heart continues to beat).
Its certainly more than just a spoon...
And now all I seem to do, is put things in it! Here are a few and Im pretty sure there will be more to follow.
I just turned 40 this past weekend.  My wife did exactly what I asked her not to do... Thanks, honey :) xoxo

Feels like spring out there

This was from awhile back... Shop has changed a bit, but is still behind the same philosophy. 

Spring 2013 is going to be a good one!

Have spoon, will travel.

Pretty pumped for NewEnglandJamChowda!

Who wants some soup?!

Sneak peak at the "obstacle" for New England Jam Chowda!

Full Circle Ts back in stock!

New Ts back in the shop!

RYE Van Trip.

 Co-Pilot , Mutha F-----Joe Bolduc!

 Me and 14 Kids in a van. Yikes.

 "Dont take my picture!"    Ok, Zach.

 Bad pic, sweet trick.

 Look how small that kid is next to Joe.

 The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

 ...or collapse.

 Product toss from RYE.

 Tired.

9am, eating cold hotdogs with no ketchup.. Force!  ( Thanks to Tyreek who brought 12 cooked dogs, in buns, individually wrapped!)


Another Rye trip is in the books.  Thanks to the crew that attended.  Special thanks to John and Josh for driving up with all the bikes.  Couldnt have done it without you guys.  i think a good time was had by all...  RYE hosted the night, which meant 150 plus kids were there.  A lot more than our normal overnighters.  ( Another trip early winter on the bus again sound good?)  Our group was awesome as always.... Cant say the same for some of the other kids there.  When did it become ok to hang out on top of the monster box, while your buddies fail over and over again at fly out tailwhips,  while everyone else is waiting to roll in??  Punks.  You should have nose bonked them on the head when they wouldnt move, Zach.  hahaha. Other than that,  the night was a success.  Thanks again to all who went.  Cu at the shop,  J

Yum Yum

Holy Cow were does the time go?  I swear I was just on this thing yesterday!  Apparently its been three weeks.  Any way...  Busy here at the shop.  This friday we are headed to RYE airfield, only this time its in a 15 passenger van!  Driven by yours truely.  Wish me luck as I bring up 15 kids ( including Joe and Tyreek) for an overnighter.

RYE Airfield

Wow.  Seems like just yesterday that some of these shots were taken.  Ive known some of you guys for 5 years now!  I cant believe how fast time goes... 
We are doing another trip to your favorite park, RYE Airfield!  The trip is set for Saturday, September 22nd.  Same drill as always.... be at the shop no later than 5:30pm.  Bus leaves at 6pm sharp.  We arrive at RYE around 8:30pm, and ride from 9pm til 9am.  We will be back at the shop for 11:30 am on sunday.  Cost is 80 bucks.  ( I know it may seem a lot, but you get A LOT for your money.  The price of the bus keeps getting more exspensive, too and I dont want to raise the price for you guys).  If you have been before, you are all set.  If u have never been to RYE, you MUST download the waiver and get it stamped by a public Notary.  RYE will NOT let you in any other way. You must have a helmet.  Elbow and knee pads are recommended.  A pillow is good to bring along. You can pack your own food, or buy it there.  If you are on a bike, remove the front wheel and fold your bars down.  Scooters and boards  fit just fine.  Any questions just call the shop. 413-585-8700.  Its first come first serve. I can not hold seats.  Sound good?  cool.  See you soon! J

Friday night races at the Whip

Had a great time at Whip City last night.  I left the bike at home, while Jonah went on to capture his first BMX trophy. 3rd place in the 6 Novice class!  I couldnt have been more proud.

Sunday Night

Great time last night. Thanks to Elvin, Zach, Anthony, Joe and Jenny for coming over.  We finally layed the first jump to rest and replaced it with another roller.  Still needs some work, but it already sets you up better for the next jump in the line... Thats all you next week, Jenny!
The race up Sam Hill road may have been the highlight of the evening.  Better luck next time, Joe.
That and my extra graceful crash was another high light.  Damn, my ass, knee and elbow still hurt. 
See you at the shop!

Perfect night to shred

Bring a shovel, bring some beverages, bring your bike.  Come ride my back yard on this perfect late summer night.
