Who decided Mid school started in 87 ??? Surely not..... 89-90 at least ??
Jono:
86/87 is right to me I'd so old school is pre 86 and is my cut off for builds (always has been) anything from when bash guards , lugs on brakes n rotors came out is mid school (to me)
awkward:
Lugs on brakes isn't mid school at all to me, they had them on the Diamond Back Strike Zone in 86.
87,88 bikes were all the same tech as previous bikes.
I think the change started around/after Bashguards when "Street" came in.
87/88 bikes are still old school to me especially how they are all designed a year in advance.
wilsey72:
For what its worth (not a lot) 87 is about right as being the start of mid school imo.
Why do I say this...?
I think everyone will agree the ass fell out of BMX as we knew it around 86/87 therefore it brought on new ideas, designs and gizmos to try and bring it back as being as cool as it was!
Therefore...
This new way of looking at BMX was a new era... therefore MIDSCHOOL as we now know it was born.
That's how I see it and I'm never wrong... ever!! Cheers Ta. all the best. :daumenhoch:
pickle:
in a word....YOU alll did.
Stidds did a poll for it ages ago and what is set now was decided by a diplomatic vote from our members.

Freestyle was at it's peak in 87-88 if anything the sponsors were gone in 89 which spawned a new direction.
If you're talking about BMX racing I can understand an earlier timeline as Freestyle came into it's own in 84.
But as far as freestyle goes for me 80 to 88 was old school, just look at pictures of RL Osborn's glossy appearance, he had all the sponsors up until 89 then switched and became raw street/Flatland/rider owned shortly after.
Bully Bashguards 1990 etc
