I only had a 1 hr window of sunshine to get photo's in for the bmx build off on the museum because of bad weather, I have entered in the OPEN class, could you guys have a look at the pictures I have posted and please give me any negative feed back if you noticed something I haven't, their are some good background shots from other entries.
One photo is needed for the calendar shot (the money shot) I like Mikes race plate pic but didn't get the right pic in time and the fences in the background spoil it.
I'm hoping that votes will be classed on the bike and not the background if you know what I mean.
The weather is pants and only had that hour with the sun to shine off the nickel plate!
I'm not going to get anymore pics done so do I swap one of those pics i've entered for the race plate pic ?

Hi John,the bike looks trick as fook bro!  :4_17_5:

As for the plate pic,unfortunately the fence does kill it compared to the pics on the Museum.

Also due to the fact that you don't have pads the lower zip ties are pulled too tight which is making the plate bend inwards (as the stem is further out than the bars w/out pads).

Plates always look better slightly bowed out especially Hot plates.It's the crossbar pad that creates this by pushing the plate out but this can be achieved w/out pads by not pulling the lower ties too tight & sliding the bar ends of the plate more towards the bends to create the bow.

Seems a shame not use a pic of the plate after all that effort so why can't you take any more pics dude?

Not enough time  to get the pics in unfortunately , see what you me about the plate, need a bar pad, i'll sort it, and put the, i'll get a red mongoose pad and leave the stem and frame bare  and fit it properly, looks trick with the plate fitted.
