Gonna get me a BSc in Industrial Product Design or Automotive Product Design. Not made my mind up yet, only have a month or so to decide what I'm doing next year...

Basically get me on my way with basic engineering, composites, desing techniques, CAD e.t.c... Along with some work experience in 2007/2008. Not sure what I want to do yet though... Only 20 mind you

Fox wheels are made by OZ, not bad quality, just dubious designs from OZ''s cast offs

To be fair , Volk/Rays wheels are average of £500 per wheel thats why there is allot that goes into them , im sure normal wheels have less / cheaper work etc...

It's technical. I'm kinda annoyed with it actually. There was no maths requirement to join the course, but the stuff they have thrown on us is near impossible for me to do You shouldn't have that problem though - the Course at Loughborough looked good, though they didn't accept my application You should join the snowboard team there and do a bit of 'racing' it's cool! I'm the captain of the Aston ski/board team.... Anyway, enough thread jacking.
