I went to an MK style gathering of a forum for HiFi fans at the weekend .. some of the kit was incredible but it remined me very much of RAD. No one wanted any of these guys to not build the best systems they could! excellence was prized & praised ... just as it is on RAD.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion about what they want RAD to be ... but please don't ask people who are comitted to achiving excellence to 'dumb down'.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but you seem to be saying 'why bother building a bike if its not good enough to enter into BOTM' ... if thats your motivation behind a build then 'why bother' indeed ... you can just build stuff because you want to y'know ... you dont need 'votes' to make it worthwhile.
I found RAD nearly 10 years ago and it was the standard of the builds that really inspired me ... I must have built about 30 bikes over the years ... sold them and moved onwards and upwards ... but I've never built anything other than what I wanted to build. If it got some love, or mostly abuse :teef: ( bants ) then all good ... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
If I ever got a wiff that this forum was prepared to compromise for the sake of 'bums on pews' then I'd be off :daumenhoch:

I Love Rad but Facebook has unfortunately become an uncontrollable beast that's become part of people's daily lives.
That instant hit of Dopamine thats instantly served when someone hits (like) on one of your posts or images is becoming an addiction for many which is a shame..
I think as a medium it serves a purpose, Ive done a lot of research set up reference pages for Rebel / Yes & Marlborough BMX & set up an owners group on there for Rickman BMX but if its hard keeping up with it all & if there was a section on Rad to be able to offload all of this knowledge research & of course the images I've collected along the way i'd gladly copy & paste the lot & park it all right here....
I think we all go through phases with BMX too, I've been back in to OS BMX since 2012 Built over 30 bikes & learned a hell of a lot along the way... But there's times i think i'd be happy to sell everything up & my reference point for my love for BMX has & always will be here.....
Things will pick up in the summer , it always does...
Long Live Rad ! :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:
