Mid school 89-
ED209:
I got back into building because I wanted to ride my old DP 80s bike ... but having gradually moved onto a new school ride through various mid bikes I've come to love the design & innovation of early mid school ( warts and all ) ... and the sense of recapturing an era that I would loved being involved in if I hadn't sold my soul to Skateboarding ;)
I've just sold the last of my old school bits ... I've got the 2 bikes that were my Mid School grails... a WAL Riot and an Auburn CR20S ... playing with building a 2hip Pork ... but thats gonna be it for me :daumenhoch:

I still don't understand how mid-school started in 1986/7 but that's another debate - I rode up until 89 then moved to mountain bikes. 90 is when mid school kicked off for me but the early 90 bikes give me almost the same nostalgic feeling as many of the top riders were still cranking.

The reason it starts at 1986 on here is because everybody complained when I set the section up and had Midschool starting at 1990. We held a vote and it was decided that it would start at 86 so 86 it starts at.

Sean, I thought the Mid school section started 87 to 97.
It was at MK last year
fischflo:
the 1986 mid school divide objectively makes some sense...

If I remember correctly, when I first set up the sections when we opened the new site I had midschool starting ranging from 90-00, then I changed it to run from 87 as per the S&S cards. Then there was a vote and it was decided to change it to 86.
After that I washed my hands of it all Gish, I was always wrong so stormed off in a strop :LolLolLolLol:
