i don't know what all this stuff is about Vans skateparks not letting in bikes.. they have seperate skate and bike sessions. I moved to california, found there was a Vans park 10 miles away, paid my 50 dollars membership, 2 weeks later they closed it down. oh well.

Oh, now youve done it! You have pulled the rug right out from under DSDs main point! :LolLolLolLol:

Just a note, the heated discussion was NOTHING about DSD's feelings towards DC/Vans - he has his opinion and he was pretty right, DC and VANS do have skateboard-only parks...afterall it is their core business (outside of the purely fasion industry).
I must admit I take great sadness that a paralell is being drawn with VBMX - the management of RADBMX are far far far away from corporate whores. We weren't stepping in against DSD to protect DC. The argument grew when he started with the personal remarks again when someone tried to challenge his opinion. I love a discussion based on facts, but when the schoolyard name calling starts it has to be nipped in the bud. Particularily when we have complaints from other members.
There is no doubt, we do need financial help with growing the site (remember a few weeks ago when no one could get on? it all cost money to sort out!) and to put on the kind of events everyone wants - things don't come for free and we all invest a massive amount of time too. There is a history with DC shoes and a massive about of background work which one of the MODS has put in to secure the deal - DC didn't just bang in and flash a load of cash around...it has been earn't. Their help has come just at the right time as 2007 Old School BMX is going main stream...and RADBMX, your forum, needs to be at the forefront - afterall we have some fantastic members and a simply massive knowledge base, and just like riders in the 90's we're the ones at the core of the movement.
DSD is welcome back whenever he is ready...his mid-school knowledge and good eye are well respected.
BTW, I really wish I had kept riding through the 90's. I didn't. But, hell, I'm as dedicated as the next man for keeping the BMX vibe going.
Stay rad and keep the faith. It's all good.

actually I was a MOD before BMX... green parker, piano tie, lambretta patch sewn on ny mum, grey staypress trousers, small badges with "the jam" and "the who" the lot.
Long live the MODS !!
seriously I appreciate all the work that goes into making events and this site happen. A lot of time effort and money is spent with often little or no thanks. I'd be lost without my daily dose of radbmx. Its my coronation street. I raise my glass. :4_17_5:
