Why did BMX die ????????????????????????????????????????
noddybeard:
it was entirely down to Drink, Cars, Birds (mainly psyco ones - my ex threathned to sell my bike to which i told her she'd go first!! guess what she DID!!) and Jobs.
Not necessarily in that order tho!!
not sure that mtb, skateboarding, brakedancing or any of the other factors are truly responsible the fault really lies within us all!! bmx died because too many of us allowed ourselves to become sidetracked we lost sight of what compelled us to ride in the first place!! an as a result local an national scenes died out both in racing an freestyle.
The desire to ride miles just to find someone to ride with or somewhere to ride lost its attraction cos you couldnt guarantee there would be a session at the end so gradually we all stopped bothering.
Fortuneately we have now seen the error of our ways an got back on our bikes an by the sound of it traded in wifes/partners/careers who werent supportive for new improved models (i know have i recently broke my collar bone riding an whereas my ex would have killed me my new missus has been spot on!!)
So now we find ourselves at the threshold of a new chapter in bmx i personally plan to keep on riding till i cant physically do it nothing is gonna get in the way (barring injury) an i feel privaleged to have you all along for the journey.
Ride on an this time lets all keep the faith an remember the real reason we do this!!!
selfpreservation:
its down to the rationalization of principals before we discovered women drugs and drink ,bikes were NO1 but as we have become boared/ accustomed to all of the above and they seem normal, bmx has become vibrant again cause we no longer have to aspire to the goals we had when we were 15 anymore as they are in our past or present now we look on bmx as a time of discovery in the same way as we probably viewed women , drugs, drink BITD
