Go Mountain Mayhem Wash Bay - Now with added Mud Slider!

Yep its that time of year, where we pack our sleeping bags, ovaltine, some pressure washers, some cleaning gubbins and our Cycle Wash bays and rock up to Mountain Mayhem to deliver our 24 Hour Wash Bay service to the masses.

Below is the Blurb that was fired out to the Mayhemers!

After hauling our wares up and down the British Isles over the last three years, the Duck Smart Wash Bay crew are well versed in ensuring riders leave events cleaner than what they arrived.

Now through a twist of fate and a trigger spray full of luck, the 24 Hour Wash Bay facilities at this year’s Go Outdoors Mountain Mayhem will be helping you to not get quite as dirty in the first place.  

Yep our Mud Slider aftercare product, which was created as a Water dispersant and mud sticking stopper for                                     Motocross, has been discovered by some filthy little urchins to be a dab hand at reducing the build-up of mud, dirt and grime on Mountain bikes.  These urchins have had some influence, as now Mud Slider is being used by all and sundry for that very same purpose throughout the industry.  

Not only does it stop the dirt from sticking it means next time you come to clean your ride its tons easier.

Now here’s why we like it... as it makes cleaning easier next time round, we figure that when you tired rider folk drop by the wash bay in the early hours of the morn and wake us from our slumbers; 1 your bike will be lighter for us to lift, and 2 it won’t take half as long for us to clean, giving us more nap time.  Everyone’s a winner.

So on that note, we encourage all you fair Mayhem folk to come visit us, this time, before your ride to apply some Mud Slider. Then after your stint, to clean up with some of our Foaming Earth Mover Bike Cleaner.

For more information on us, and our range of PH Neutral and great smelling cleaning products visit www.duck-smart.com or search for us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram... as, yeah you got it ducksmart.

Seeya there for the Mayhem!

It's Downhill from here for the Duck Smart Wash Bays!

We conquered the Motocross Pro Nationals Wash bays, toiled through the arduous 24 hour Wash Bays at Mountain Mayhem, and survived the chaos of a World Cup Cyclocross wash bay, and now we have committed to serving the British Downhill community in 2015 with the same facility.

The British Downhill Series garners huge respect in the DH and cycling World and we are looking forward to keeping them all clean and fresh throughout the 6 round series for 2015.  Below is the splurb............

Duck Smart at British Cycling’s National Downhill Mountain Bike Series (The BDS) in 2015.

BDS Racers, this is the news you have been waiting for! No more waiting in long queues for the hose pipe or filling up your buckets/containers and trudging across a muddy field!
The Duck Smart team will be at every round with their bike wash stations, Karcher jet washes and bucket loads of products to make sure your ride, rolls away spotless, sparkling and ready to race!

Duck Smart's Paul Oughton said “We are looking forward to following the BDS road show around the country in our Duck Truck providing our wash bay facilities at all of the BDS rounds in 2015. The reputation and quality of the BDS throughout the UK and around the World is something we are proud to be involved in, as we look to spread the word about the Duck Smart product range.

On top of our shower style wash facilities our full range of sweet smelling products are available for all competitors to utilise. We always like to communicate directly with riders for both feedback and a good old bit of banter. We are really looking forward to becoming a real part of the BDS and growing our brand to the race community and their followers”.

Take 2, the MXGP Treatment winners weekend!!

Ding Ding round 2 and all that, the MXGP Treatment winners weekend took place on the legendary slopes of the Asham Woods circuit near Frome which on memorable occasions in the past had been host to many an MX great.

This time round it was the Final round of the British Evo Series alongside the Sidecar Clubmans champs and the chance for our comp winner Martin Foster to get on the track and put pay to the gremlins which halted his winners weekend after a practice malfunction that couldn't be rectified last time round.

With the well wishing, back slapping and handing over of the race kit, pit board, and other goodies out of the way last time round this time it was down to business & the serious stuff of the racing.   C'mon can you imagine that from us??  Nay chance, full on banter, laughs and some old school male bonding was the order of the weekend, ah yeah and Martin surpassed his half a lap of practice last time and hit home with a full 3 laps and then 3 races to follow.

Team mechanic Steve (who has known and been going to MX with Martin since they were at college) used his pit board to full advantage and as well as some well informed motivational snippets, there was also a customary amount of MX cliches and witty remarks aplenty for good measure.

On board his immaculate 1989 YZ125 Martin looked trick in his Thor race kit (thanks Madison), and we kept his bike looking tip top throughout without water, using our Smart N Ezee Waterless Cleaner & polish , Mud Slider for under the mudguards and some Kit Clean on his boots.  

With the suitably retro and legendary Oil brand, Bel-Ray (cheers Rapid) on board as a partner the machine was prepped and singing like a 2 smoker banshee should when racing a flat out on an old school beast of a track, and Martin was greeted by whoops & hollers from Team Duck on each lap.  (I know your gonna ask this but nope there wasn't any girls on this occasion, they were booked and on their way for the first time but couldn't make it for attempt number 2).





So with two weekend's to savour did the comp winner Martin enjoy his prize?  Well your gonna have to wait a little bit until the vid comes out, but yep we reckon he did, and one things for sure we did and without doubt Martin and his best mate Steve were worthy winners of the competition and now classed as good friends rather than acquaintances.



We would like to say a big thanks to Nick from the Frome Motorcycle Club and his team for being so welcoming as well as Kevin Spencer of the British Evo Series who has been such a helpful host and great help throughout the two weekends. 

Also 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.

Keep your eyes out from October 2014 for next years competition and for your chance to enter and win!

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.
