Win an Off-Road Experience for Two and a huge stash of Duck Smart cleaning goodies!

Duck Smart & 3 times World Motocross Champion Dave Thorpe have been working with each other for number of years now, which means  every now and again we manage to get our foaming fingers on some spaces at his hugely acclaimed Honda Off Road Centre.  As is our way we always like to share the loot and open up a comp, so two of you lucky fellows get the chance to enjoy the experience for your own good self's.


The winner can pick which type of experience they would like to go on ie Motocross or Enduro and the friendly Off-Centre team will work with you on dates available and all that type of thing.  

It wouldn't be proper Duck Smart comp if we didn't also throw in a big ol boxful of our cleaning goodies too so this will also be heading the way of our winner.

The Dave Thorpe Honda Off-Road centre is situated in Ynyswbwl, South Wales, the heart of some of the very best off-road motorcycling terrain in the UK. The beauty of it all, of course the picturesque location, but the main reason being our Enduro, Motocross and Taster Days all happen in one place... at their Centre! With spectacular views and endless hours of motorcycling fun, it becomes enough to satisfy any rider of any ability. 

In terms of the Duck Smart goody box we will stock you up with a Mixture of our:

Famous Foaming Earth Mover Bike Cleaner
Mud Slider Aftercare and Mud sticker stopper
Smart N Ezee Waterless Cleaner and Detailer
Bullit Silicone Spray
and more.....

MXGP Treatment comp winners weekend - Take 1!

Well our 2014 MXGP Treatment competition winners weekend didn't go quite to plan although our winner Martin Foster and our team still had a great weekend and it all means we get to do it all over again.

This our worthy winner was 45 year old Martin who races in EVO meetings aboard his immaculate 1989 YZ125.  His email entry won us over explaining how he rocks up at meetings with his car, his bike on a trailer with his chief mechanic and friend from College Steve in tow. Yep old Skool.

The weekend kicked off for Martin with a suprise email containing good luck messages from DS racers and riders from all sports including legendary 3 X World MX Champion Dave Thorpe and current British MXGP star Tommy Searle.  (click the link on the side to view the vid)

The race meeting he was competing in was the 6th round of the British Evo Series at the Ham Lane track near Petersfield in Hampshire and by the time Martin had turned up the Duck Truck and DS set up was in place with dinner on the go.

Before the evening was out our winner was presented by a pimped up Thor race kit courtesy of our distibutors Madison with the printing done by our friends at Freestyle Extreme.

The Duck Truck was a bit of a squeeze but we all hit the bunks from there ready for a day of battle the next morning.    With the sun out, mechanic Steve was hooked up with a trick one off Pit board, (again thanks to our buddies at Freestyle Extreme and James at Print Shop Express), and the bike was prepped and lubed thanks to products supplied by Bel-Ray & Rapid Distribution.

All we thought was set to be an epic day as we headed down the track to watch Martin cruise round the track for his practice laps.  That was when the aforementioned YZ125 decided it was gonna have none of it and half way round lap 1 it stuttered to a halt, never to start again for the rest of the day.  Hours of frantic efforts to get the old girl back in the game were to no avail & with afternoon tea served up by our butler it was time to call it a day but not before Martin was given further goodies from Mark at Rapid Distribution in Torc1 grips, Bel-Ray lube and Risk Racing palm protectors on top of a large stash of DS cleaning goodies to keep the stubborn ol YZ gleaming.

So no video highlights package this time we are afraid but never fear we couldn't let Martin go without a full weekend of GP treatment so we will try again in a few weeks time and report back then.

A massive thanks to our distributors Madison and Rapid for supporting this weekend alongside Thor, Bel-Ray, Torc1 and Risk Racing as well as our friends at Freestyle Extreme and Print Shop Express.  Also all of the members of Team DS who sent in their good luck messages.

Wanna sample the MX GP treatment at one of your meetings? Well now's your chance!

After the massive success of last years MX GP treatment competition, we have opened entries to the 2014 version with extra surprises, freebies and support in what was already a full on prize.

The 2013 competition was won by 8 year old James Day who rocked up to his EASSC Two day event at Wakes Colne only to find a crew of people and a huge pit set up, ready to support, clean, coach and prep for him over the weekend.

On top of good luck messages from a host of Off Road celebrities, James received kit and goodies from Rip N Roll, Bolddog, Thor, Bel-Ray, Defcon5, Torc1, Risk Racing, race support and coaching from Gary Linge from the renowned LTA Academy, and of course Duck Smart, who as you would expect also cleaned his bike and kit with their range of products over the weekend so he went to the line looking immaculate each time. On top of that young James also went to the line with his very own brolley girls much to the delight of his competitors Dads as well as the other EASSC racers.

The 2014 competition is now open and if you would like to sample what it is like to live the MX GP high-life all you have to do is send an email to GPCOMP@DUCKSMART.CO.UK with your name, age, what and where your ride and why you think you should win by the 11^th of April.

Anyone can enter as long as they race some sort of Motocross so it can be, Minibikes, Quads, Sidecars, EVO, Twin-shock, Youth..................

So get yourself entered!

Team Green set to shine with Ducksmart!

After some injury set backs during the Arenacross UK tour, the Team Green Kawasaki UK line up of Dylan Woodcock (Big Wheel 85), Jed Etchells (Big Wheel 85) and Lewis Hall (Small Wheel 85) are now gearing towards championship success outdoor and looking to shine in 2014.

So too will their KX85 weapons of choice after Team Green and Duck Smart cleaning products agreed a sponsor partnership for 2014. Team manager Jeff Perrett and Paul Oughton from Ducksmart finalised the deal at last year's International Dirt Bike show that will see all of the Team Green riders use 

Ducksmart’s extensive range of cleaning products for motorcycles and clothing.

It’s yet another cool, young brand for Team Green to have on board and understandably the team are delighted as Jeff explains; “As far as proactive companies go in UK motocross Duck Smart have been one that has caught our eye over the past couple of years. Their products are superb and are definitely going to make our life easier in keeping everything look sharp, which of course is a huge part of running a high profile team and growing it. We have brilliant support from Monster Energy and brands like Thor, Maxxis, Motorex and many more, all of which are huge brands and it has to look right. Duck Smart products are going to help us present the right image and we’re thankful and really appreciate their involvement with Team Green. We’re also looking forward to working with them on developing their products further.”

Paul Oughton is equally as pleased as he sees the direction that Team Green is heading. "Having worked with young Dylan before we have kept a keen eye on how Team Green has been developing and there is so much enthusiasm about the team, and such an impressive set up which we can only see growing in the future. The lads are a great bunch, and under the watchful eye of master Perrett I think the profile of the team is going to be huge and we are very proud to be part of it and help to keep both bikes and riders immaculate every time they race with our range of products. As with all of our partners, we like to work closely with them so we are also looking forward to working on the Next Generation of our cleaning products with Team Green in 2014 and into the future”.

An experiment on Duck Smart's Kit clean!

With its optical brighteners and unique little Duck Pad our Kit Clean Micro Kit has proved hugely popular since its launch as a Micro Kit last year.

So we put it to the test at the Red Bull Pro Nationals on our ground in and stained Wash Bay Karcher banners with months of dirt, grime and grease in them.  Watch the vid on the right to see the results.

Kit cleans uses are pretty varied but include, race shirts, race trousers, helmet linings, goggle straps, boots, gloves.... basically the optical brighteners and detergents in it bring out the colours and combat stains.



Here's how it works on your race kit!

The Dirt Bike Show 2013

So we are back from a hugely successful Dirt Bike show, and it was awesome that Mud Slider went and sold out.  As usual we got in amongst it and caused a bit of Duck Havoc.  

It was great also to have CLS Kawasaki's Tommy Searle as our special guest on Saturday, and it went down well with those who got signed posters, Duck Lanyards and pictures.  


Tommy also scrawled his name on the Duck Board with some other Motorcycle racing celebs so that is filling up fast, and will very soon be available for one of you lucky people to win.
