We are epic
Epic was established in late 2009 to focus on stocking the worlds finest action sports clothing and footwear, and selling them exclusively online. Working with notable brands such as Volcom, Etnies and Famous Stars & Straps as well as UK based Sutsu, Epic has placed itself to reach out to surfers, snowboarders, motocrossers, bmx’ers and skaters, as well as those who just like the smooth styles these brands provide.
We only sell brands that are innovative in design, have strong business ethics, and support the sports they are linked to. We are passionate about our place in society, and for 2010 have decided to support the Cedar Foundation
Epic is based in Belfast, home of the mighty Tayto crisp and some big yellow cranes.
The people:
Matt Shanks (Director)
John Ryan of Life Forms Design (Web Designer)
Mark Case of Whitenoise Studios (Creative Director)
Epic Race Team
Epic likes to get involved in anything that it deems crazy, fun or stupid. This year we entered a team in the Mud Madness event, where 5 of slogged out a 4 mile run through a bog. Check out our Facebook page, or the Epic Youtube channel for more lovely media.
Matt also races vintage motocross on a 79’ Honda CR250 ‘red rocket’ as part of his adrenalin rehab programme.
Thanks to Shanks
Matt is in his mid twenties, is hopelessly addicted to tea and has a passion for all things adventurous. His pursuits include travel, surfing, snowboarding and vintage motocross. He feels that these accomplishments have been more beneficial than his geography degree. (He didn’t want to be a teacher because it involved wearing a suit). Wetsuits are a different thing altogether…
Epic feels that credit is most definately due to John and Mark for supplying creative excellence and the odd word of encouragement.
This year Epic plans to:
- Be popular
- Increase the number of brands stocked
- Give away some free stuff
We appreciate your support, letters, facebook messages and cakes. Share life.
Peace.
