Afternoon singletracker's
I'm hopefully starting up a small business over the next few months in the outdoor's industry. We'll be looking at doing various courses starting off with MTB and progressing to gain my qualifications in canoeing with a view to expand.
Our main issues is that we are struggling to come up with a name that doesn't sound tacky/cheesy and doesn't sound to limit us to biking.
do you have any ideas???
any input (sensible) would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Stu

Bill's in the post, ta
not bad for the first post.....
like it, just not got the paddling qualifications..........yet...... so don't think that putting it in the name might confuse the issue..
Sounds great Stuart, were will you be based?
will you be tied to a location - see tiler name thread - try and get that in the name.
so maybe;
XXXXXXOutdoorActivities.co.uk
where XXXXXXX is a county, town or area name?
Rapid Experience
www.rapidexperience.co.uk is available
you owe me £250.00 😀
can do you a logo, corporate ID and even build a website if you like, all for at an extra cost of course 🙂
Rapidriders
Rapidriderz if you is down with the dudes
You can paypal me a sufficient fee if you go for these!
Really Outdoors
Outsiders
Mud & Water
(or my fave)
Wet & Soiled
Terraflirters
bike'n'boat
I win.
not going to be tied to a location, should be able to operate out of almost anywhere... but mainly be north wales and north west england, but able to venture wherever (hopefully)
just finding a name seems to be holding me back from progressing 🙁
have thought about the lcation name, but not really into that as can do any area, personaly would feel a little pigeon holed...
Wet & Wheeled
Your user name would be OK, IMO. 😉
I think there are two schools of thought, or even three!
Something with your location and what you do, but I think this gets confusing if there is a lot of competition
Something like the "paddles & pedals" idea, describing what you do.
Or something completely random, unconnected yet catchy.
Nothing more, sorry, I'll go now.
[i]personaly would feel a little pigeon holed... [/i]
you need to look at it as a business and how people will find you and decide to use you.
If you start with NorthernAdventures or soemthing you can always buy and park 'Southern'/Eastern etc and then use those if you need to later.
That makes sense, but do i think i would rather have just one name that i can use all over..
any other ideas? or inspirations?
what the hell?!? mine is easily the best suggestion, just pay up you tightwad! 😀
wet behind the ears...
UKAdventures?
or mr nutts one although I'd haggle on the price a bit...
ha 😉 tis not bad. quite want to see what else is out there tho, would kick myself if i chose one thing then something better came along half hour later 😛
I always thought this was a good name:
[url= http://www.naelimits.co.uk/ ]http://www.naelimits.co.uk/
[/url]
so something along those lines would suit?
Pedals and Paddles.
Far better, the money's all mine.
Well £250 for the name, domain and site ain't bad
(depending upon the quality of the site of course)
I would throw in aquacycle but it's already used so how about
paddles & saddles
doing a serch for famous explorer type quotes (yes its friday afternoon and this is more interesting than work) I found:
“I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward.”
David Livingstone quotes (Scottish missionary and explorer, 1813-1874)
So maybe something like "Outdoormotion" or "Out and about" ?
I also like “It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.”
Edmund Hillary quotes (New Zealander mountain climber and Antarctic Explorer Famous for being first to succesfully climb Mount Everest b.1919)
But cant think of a company from that?
Like Outdoor Motion !
the quotes are great too...
tightwad! 😀
anyway it sounds like some kind of community outdoor dance troup! 😀 😀 😀
chill down MrNutt ...
too.
much.
coffee.
😀
Like Outdoor Motion !
Excellent, can I have the £250 then? 😀
actually thinking about paddles&saddles sounds like an S&M club
WILDSIDE
😆
🙄
not too much longer till you're all out of work for the weekend... have to go into work at 5 🙁
Outdoor motion does sound a bit like taking a dump in the woods or is that just me?
splash and dash
wot cu dubh sed.
splash and dash
Now that sounds like having a pee where you shouldnt!!
