it's interesting reading this from one of the few who has seen the full cycle of the site from the beginning
And it's interesting reading the comments and opinions on the subject of people's perceptions on the subject. The site always goes a bit slow in the summer but I do agree that it is not as active as it has been, but the site is merely a reflection of its members and the cycle they are going through, as with all hobbies they go through these cycles as new member groups join and fall away. It's natural that people come and go and it keeps the hobby itself going. As more people discover old bmx ,the more they build old bikes and the stock of parts disappears from the marketsw hen I started collecting there were not many bikes built and a lot of parts available.now lots of builds out there and no parts to build them.
IMHO the hobby has lost a lot of good people with a passion for old bikes,but I bet they. All still have their bikes sitting there looking lovely.they will never sell them so all that stock disappears from the market
Once the supply of parts disappears for ever ,the prices find a ceiling and the new blood so to speak disappears as they can not build anything
IMHO

i think a lot of what Chris said in his post is right tbh. we are all new at one time. and its more posative to help the new members and not highlight there "faults" as the saying goes "if you have nothing nice to say say nothing"
Sadly there will always be negative people on any forum waitting to poke fun at newbies and exploite them.
But a forum works best when us the members add to the forum. does'nt matter if its your latest build, posting up your wish list, asking for help , if you add something it makes the forum big and better. maybe people do spend a lot of time on threads like babe of the day , but at least it keep something on the forum flowing.
Plenty of rides organised this year , and the ones ive been on so far have been brilliant .
Maybe some of you reading this thread who do just that sit back and read could post a few pics of your rides, start a new topic, or maybe organise a ride in a town that hasnt held a ride yet?
i suppose we all from time to time drift away from RAD then drift back , and thats not such a bad thing , but maybe we should all try and post something a bit more often and keep interest flowing :daumenhoch:

Lost interest in building any old bikes quite a while ago
