I can understand people feeling a bit 'unhappy' if they get no votes for their entry , but giving everyone three votes still doesn't mean they'll receive one unless there were only three entries.....

I can also understand that for some folk it might be 'too difficult' for them to choose just one bike ...... no I'm lying , I can't understand that at all..... get a grip and pick a bike .

Bravo!

I always voted for the bike I'd most like to own  :daumenhoch:

But hey its all just a bit of fun hey

What Rob said ... it was a witchhunt  Thumbs down

GRAB ON KID:
My opinion is it's not in the spirit of BOTM to vote for a bike just because it's your mate's.It should just be about what your fave bike is,the attention to detail or the one you'd most like to own.... or if you don't like any of them,your fave parts.

I also think it's a bit off to vote for your own bike.No offence to those that have but personally i find it un-sportsman like. I prefer the one vote system.What's the point in having 1 vote out of 3 if that build comes nowhere near winning anyway?

I really liked the openness of the posted in the thread vote so it's totally clear what people like & don't & why or how Radsters are voting.Why have something to hide? We all have our own opinions & each person builds their rides how they like them.If you can't take the criticism then don't enter.

I also think it'll stop people building for what's considered "to the gallery"  & weed out those just being loyal to mates.I know it's just for fun but a lot of time,research,money & effort is put into these builds so clarity should be the most important element considering the whole "Stiddsgate" scenario.

We ride & build bmx bikes so why this need to walk on eggshells about it or try & paint a rose tinted glow over it all?
You can't please everyone so why water it down to try & make everyone feel like their bikes at least got a vote.
Prize or no prize it's a competition at the end of the day so should be treated as such... otherwise it's just a free for all & the buzz of actually winning it is diluted.Do we really need Rad or BOTM turning into a granny state? Reality.......what a concept!
