I agree with you totally and to that end I think the sections should be just given names on the site because they are vague and defined in years at MK for the S&S.

Dordy made a couple of good points on FB, first one was ask someone into mid school when it started they'd say 90's.
Stidds you're saying it was voted on by Radsters, I say the vote was a done deal because if you ask most Radsters when old school ended and they'd say 86-87, up until recently I would have agreed with that because that's when it stopped for me and probably the majority of Radsters, on the other hand my younger brother and his mates were riding old school BMX up until around 90 and they were old school bikes, in reality BMX was dying and continued to do so until around 90 then enter Hoffman and rider owned companies.
Second point Dordy made was why do we need to be guided by the US sites as they are full of shit, I totally agree with that.

See this is the problem, different people say different dates, who is right and who is wrong? If the mid-schoolers all say opposing years then what chance is there.
Just because somebody thinks that he wants it as 90- doesn't make it correct, it just makes it that persons opinion.
To be perfectly honest I don't know why I am arguing as I originally set the midschool section up as 1990-2000 and people moaned about the dates then, now it seems I may have been right... who'd have thunk it eh?
As for agreeing with the American's, maybe it is not so much we are agreeing with them, more like all 3 sites are in agreement. If vintage/society/RADBMX members (remember it is the member who chose not admin) all think that mid-school starts 86/87/88 then maybe that is roughly where it began.
As the saying goes if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck then maybe it really is a fooking duck.

Yeah, you were right on the start date although it stretches past the millenium by a couple of years and that seems to be the general concensus amongst mid-shoolers in fact if you look in the section you'll see bikes from the early 2000's.
Alright so we didn't follow the Americans, it was the vote which IMHO was flawed but do we have to be the same as them? The BMXsociety certainly know their stuff about vintage and old school but I don't think the same applies about mid-school or even OS freestyle for that matter, content on their sites clearly reflects that.
Never been on vintage heard on here it was shit so never bothered.
Just because it's born in a stable doesn't mean it's a horse.
