SHOWING YOUR BIKES???

(1/5) > >>

dwain dibbly:
I've not been to  a show yet where they have a show n shine. I was thinking of entering my quad and ripper at MK but I'm not sure what the standard should be ??? I don't want to turn up and totally imbarresse myself with inferior builds :-[ :-[
what are you judged on?
is it period correct parts?
is it quality of parts?
is it  how rare it is?
what is taken into account?

jT Racing:
yeah, if something is used and not nos, is this frowned upon?

Waxintaxin:
Nope , its not about bike snobbery , its about letting others see your pride and joy, Judging is so hard I have done it a few times and always looked at everything and considered the bike in context, yes era correct parts are desirable and nice paint or chrome ( unless its the survivor class of course) but its about a feeling and a look that catches the judges eye, Phills Mongoose for me summed up 06 MK  , it was a standard goose ,but boy was it done well , purely stock and nothing amazing part wise but it was and is a fantastic bike

last year some guy on a pistol pete won something , and i dont even think he entered in any serious way

bring your bikes for us to see , dont think that we allow bike snobbery or we look down on builds that are not costing 10 million pounds ( little finger in mouth) every bike is great whatever it is and deserves to be shown. yes the big boys are going to walk away with some places as they build some sweet bikes, but everyone gets considered and you never know what the judges are going to do to keep it fresh

the cost of entry all goes on prizes and runnimg the event so you should feel happy in the knowledge that to support MK07 the only way is to enter your rides or yourselves in the racing as we do not charge for entry or camping and its all fun and a good chance to see the bikes in one place

so enjoy , support the event and enter them bikes into the show whether you think that you will walk away with first place or not

i think we all saw the downside of too much restriction and compulsories in bmx.   that was the downfall of the ukbfa.   i would have no problem bringing a iron horse to mk07. Not that i was at mk06, but i guess its all about getting a few guys together having a chinwag, sharing some beers, smoking a few doobies (optional), doing a bit of camping and letting your hair down. long live uk bmx...

harris:
