It’s a shame what happened when the site crashed ... so many left for FB and instant gratification....

Eventually if you wanted to build you had to go to FB for any chance of acquiring the parts you’d need to complete a build.
I’ve had personal crap in the last 12 months ( I’m sure my addiction to BMX and RAD didn’t help ) and so in many ways it’s not helped with my desire to post ...
I’ve not lost the love but lack of parts and cost really give me inertia before I’ve even started.
I think about a build and look at the parts I need and there’s always  2 or 3 parts that seem impossible to acquire so the build idea is a non-starter.
My builds have always took about 2 years to do and have always been a massive investment for me.
In today’s bmx market it just seems too hard to get anything of quality built (cost/scarcity of parts)  and so I face a psychological block on an almost daily basis.
I guess after 12 builds and many years back in the scene I’ve built many of the bikes and own nearly all the parts I always dreamed about as a kid.
I love RAD and always will. But sadly (like on the rides) it’s now much more about the people than the bikes.
If I won the lottery then there are several completes I’d like to buy but for now ... (unless a bargain f and f appears by magic) I think I’m at a stand still. I’d love for the love of building to return to my blood... it was always there on a daily basis and I miss it terribly.
Never say never ...

Being a collector for over 20 years i get the buzz at mk but as soon as its over i lose the love as got loads of projects on the go and when i start one i normally only need a couple of bits to finish it ,like my 91 haro master only need a seat clamp and when have a hunt for it ,i find one for 40 quid and think really i`m not paying 40 quid for that and don`t bother and just forget about the build as prices of stuff is stupid .i mean burners used to be 150 top`s but now they are 400 to 500 , frame sets if hutch or haro are 500 quid . this hobby was all about fun and doing it cheaply but sadly the big boys with unlimited cash have destroyed the scene for me and when they are done you just get another one come along and did see that at mk this year .

radovr:
The fb thing seems to be a global thing  to be honest .  Took me around 3 years of just being a non member but reading alot of threads befor i joined on here .  Well worth it as it go's  !!   Your RAD  forum is certainly one of the best there is .  As you'll see in my signature  i don't  do  fb etc  but do like a good read on here . Think maybe next build i do will actually  be the build rather than a few pice of the bike at the end
