Japanese electronics giant JVC – creator of the Adixxion action camera – has got involved with the British BMX Championship-winning team Pure Bicycles. The partnership came about following JVC sales manager & BMX Racer Neil Stewart teaming up with The Pure Bicycle Company owners Rob Vernon (EA Scaffolding Systems) and Rich Townsend (Pure), who has a wealth of experience having managed Custom Riders in Hertfordshire for over 15 years. Under the new name of EA Pure Adixxion the team is currently racing in the National BMX Series 2013, with races in Manchester, Belgium, Gosport and Birmingham still to come. Pure Bicycles’ Rich Townsend said: “The Pure Bicycles Team’s set up has always been about providing its riders with the right environment, set up and support needed to perform at their best. The structure we have ensures that the riders will benefit from a wealth of training, racing, nutritional knowledge and facilities which will assist them in future years.”

“Looking back, I have been privileged to have met and worked with many talented people from all over the world and from different cultures, all with a passion for two wheels and my experience has been unique in that I have worked in both bicycles and
for the accident. However, she was not wearing a safety helmet and that in my view contributed to her death.” Sheriff James Scott controversially
