OLD SCHOOL Vs MID SCHOOL Vs NEW SCHOOL

<< < (8/11) > >>

Superkav:
I think our generation feels differently about BMX and old school in general as we had BMX here when it was brand new and exciting and everyone was caught up in it.
For years BMX and Knight Rider were pretty much all I needed to get by. I love old school bikes, from those I've owned and ridden BITD to those that I can now afford and will buy just so that I can say I have one.
Having said that New School bikes are all I'm interested in when it comes to really riding.
Firstly, I know that they're gonna stand up to the abuse.
Secondly, they have better geometry and feel better to ride.
Thirdly, if I do break a bit off I can just go and replace it from my local shop and it won't cost me the earth.

So OS and NS both rock but I baby my OS and I punish my NS.

I guess it's like comparing an old Italian race car against a modern ferrari ?

The old one's look better, but for performace you chose the new school,

I've given this a lot of thought and despite the fact that I love the old school stuff I can appreciate that new school bikes are stronger and better designed.  What I find absolutely unforgiveable about new school is the diabolically boring colour schemes, its like a lot of them have no soul put into them...

Having said that the new Supercross evo s-7 has nice colourways and I could see myself doing something with one of these

So its not all gloomy...just pricey  ;D

ffs dude did you even bother to read the rest of this thread or did you just type out the same old tired shit?

you've given this alot of thought eh?
where?

right i'll try and make it simple to understand,
a red bike then is a red bike now
a yellow bike then is a yellow bike now
a black bike then is a black bike now
and so on,and so on.......
comprende?

so whats changed? you name me an old school colour bike and i'll show you a new school one thats basically the same colour :daumenhoch:

N\S bikes, frames and parts are available in more colours than the O/S bikes ever were, if you tried reading a current bmx magazine or looking at a few other websites you'd see that with your eyes,
purple ano, green, brown even pink! want a neon green frame? fbm make one!  want a chrome frame? easy! eastern make one!
have you even looked at the fly site? (thats a bmx company btw) colours?


i think tbh, youre getting confused with the "mid school,when it was popular for alot of bikes to be black or dark,tough tones,

and the only thing thats "unforgiveable" about the N/S is the build quality on that "80's ford capri colourway" supercross frame you posted :daumenhoch:

at the risk of sounding redundant "i like bmx's"
give me one and i'll like it and ride it, regardless of its colour :LolLolLolLol:

imo anyone that says they prfer one "school" over another is a "right fooking bellend"

because its ALL bmx isnt it?

and as far as N/S frames having "no soul put into them"
are you mad? todays frames and companies are run by riders that stuck with the sport when it wasnt popular,  when haro/gt/etc had sold there arses for a few quid!
take s&m bikes for instance, run by one of the biggest characters in bmx, that loves bmx and has done for years, a dude that genuinely cares and is interested in the frames he puts out there!
andf lets face it, s&m are right at the very top :daumenhoch:

no soul?
