Coming from a member that hasn't been on here for donkeys i feel that i can add my two pennies worth.

What i loved about rad was buying parts. I haven't bought anything for ages. Years in fact. The other night i spent ages looking through the old for sale threads. I was amazed at how little there is on here now. It seems everyone is either hoarding or there genuinely is nothing for sale.

I remember the days (sound old!) when the for sale section in the week nights used to be full of awesome parts. Battling the likes of JT, Monkeybiscuits, Radman and Bananaman for THAT part. It really was a case of blink and you miss or snooze you lose. The prices were still high back then but it seems that there was more money around for sure.

I wouldn't dream of spending the money on bmx like i used to. Is it because i am more cautious or is it because i cannot see the value when other things take priority? If something nice came up i would be tempted, as i have got the bug and visiting the site only increases my urgings but to spend what i used to just seems crazy. I probably would prefer to buy something else but maybe this is because i have done the old skool bmx ''thing''. Who knows?

On to the site. It seems the site members are all still logging on. Loads of new members too which is positive. It is mad to see that i have been away for a good 2 years and the same people still log on. What was i doing for 2 years? Time flies. The site is still the best out there for os bmx. Probably because i spent ages on it and i am used to it more? I think it needed sprucing up.

Give it time and members will always return. It is great that i was allowed back however I am shocked to see the other banned members not posting....weird.

I think the question is how long as os bmx got left? It's all been done. We have seen it all and we have had it all. We are also getting older and skinter. Rad will probably become more of a site for friends to visit with the bmx theme taking a back stage. Only my opinion but thats what i feel after a long time away. Or it needs a lot more parts to be made available by you devious hoarders!!! >:D

I think you are right about the for sale section,the parts you need so rarely come up these days and im not talking about your esp stem etc but your blue kashi aero or red Oakley b2's,things like that,your basics,they are getting so hard to get hold of.i think there are so many people into collecting now that its created a shortage of parts,ive been collecting 5 years and in that time I can honestly say ive only shifted tittle tattle largely not desirable stuff with the exception of my 83 gt pro that offloaded at easter.i must still have at least 90% of the things ive collected the since 08
