Personally most of the bikes that have won BOTY was the best of show so I don't know what the problem is..
Or subscription members can only vote..

it would be best, (not fair on mods etc) if anyone with any behind the scenes connections did not enter the BOTM/BOTY. Same as MK show n shine builds being built and judged by judges. Its a little unethical and will always be open to scepticism.
I don't post on here often and its a shame that this has caused a stain on RAD that I imagine may linger for sometime.
maybe an option to show who voted as well as results would offer some transparency
i'll fook off back under my rock now :-X

good idea and one i suggested in a discussion this morning :daumenhoch:
i used to post a fair bit on the forum but since becoming a moderator i see my role as exactly that. keeping a close eye on what goes on and getting involved only when I feel that some moderation is required. this includes back of house areas i will add, you wont catch me snooping around like a sneaky fooker
i think that if the site does move forward then the role of staff could mean non entry into boty/botm. MK is seperate as judges are not necessarily staff etc
just my thoughts
oh and if there is a secret room then I aint found it and I work here

sorry i think the whole thing is a really bad show :-[ I've been around since pretty much the beginning of rad and seen it evolve to what it is today. RAD is the corner stone of OSBMX in the UK, and to me its the standard!! All the FB groups want to be RAD. nowadays i dont spend as much time on here as i should due to business commitments but it doesn't mean I'm not as passionate as I've always been. I'm so happy to be a site supporter and think MK is a blessing, thank you to all mods for their effort, But playing devils advocate. I think mods should not enter BOTM. You are leaving yourself open to this sort thing. I now feel i have been caught up in this scandal (sorry if that is too dramatic of a term)but i had bikes in BOTM and its really has left a sour taste in my mouth now. :( :(
kungfunky:
Many have said its time for a revamp and I think they may be right, not necessarily the whole site but definitely BOTM. What should it be 'mim not really sure right now but RAD needs to get back to being RAD and it's not just down to the owners, admin and mods but mostly us mortal supporters. Pull together to make this place rock once again and the bickering will be long forgotten.

I think we should all remember this started out with your first BMX and the love affair began there.
It was always about having fun, knocking around with ya mates and trying to outdo each other on trix, bikes, parts or birds pulled due to any of those.
That's why you're here on this forum precisely the same sort of reasons just slightly changed now we're all a lot older n creakier.
We buy, build and dream of bikes we never could afford in our wildest dreams as kids but now with funds and affluence, yes we can afford 'that' dream ride or develop a Harem of bikes to cherish.
Never lose sight that we are in this planet just the once, no replays.
So let's just Fukin enjoy it while we can and not wither away but crash through the gates in a blaze of dust and chrome only to skid majestically waving a 'peace out' sign into the coffin.
If Admin and mods are excluded why not give them their own monthly botm to play around with?
It's unfair their builds not get appreciated at end of the day as so many are superb. But between them let the banter fly which for me is highly amusing a lot of the time.
STAY RAD AND DONCHA FORGET IT
PEACE
