goose vs sky beat
Trev:
yeah i am disappointed that skyway pulled out when they did. although i have to admit, i stopped bmx before skyway did. they had so many of the top riders in the world riding for them, so you would have thought they might have held in there a bit longer.
but then again, they have got to act as a business and cannot be sentimental about it. it would have been hard, if not impossible for them to keep afloat during the dark ages of the 90's.

pity skyway dropped bmx like a hot shit as soon as the money slowed down

Thing is they all did, which i never understood :idiot2:. In the early 80s they where making shit loads of money then when sales dipped they never tried to do anything to stop it they just pulled the plug on everything. Its as if all the BMX Companys where only happy making loads of money and making some money wasn't good enough. If they had stuck with it and brought out fresh new products they could have pulled it round but they never had the fight, still don't understand even today :-\ :-\
theRuler:
not all of them
gt, haro, mongoose, dyno, redline etc etc

Yeah but even Mongoose where still using the same frames in 1989 thet they brought out in 1983. There was nothing new and fresh to keep you interested apart from different colour frames. You never felt like you where buying somthing new just the same bike but a different colour. The same goes for most of the companys, its like they ran out of ideas :-\ :)
theRuler:
well at least they kept going
the race frames didn't change much though
but that's because they got it bang on to start with ;)
