i always had a feeling alot of it being down to the lightweight parts breaking all the time and kids just not being able to keep up financially?

and like you said moeller/moliterno/hoff etc seemed to keep its pulse alive but there whole approach was "stronger bikes" which further backs up the idea,
i've never heard it talked about and i could be wrong so tell me if i am like!!

why did bmx seem to die for a while?  any views on it?

Bloke who owns BIG local bikeshop/ framebuilders told me just that...colours changing, all about fashion, kids couldn't keep up with the money for 'the next parts'

have some respect.

bmx never 'died'.

so, you met a girl/bought a car/took drugs/went raving/started a job/grew up/started drinking/ etc, etc, etc. how self centered are you all to think bmx 'died' when you didnt feel like riding?

sure, no one should be tied to riding a bike every day for ever to be considered a 'bmxer', and yes you can come and go as you please, but don't insult the intelligence of the true riders who rode right throughout the 'lean times'.
if you think it all stopped when you took up other interests, then you're the loser.

Fair comment    :daumenhoch:

At the time, pub, clubs, fights, cars and girls were a better buzz than bikes, so the bike got put down for a short 20 year break  :idiot2:

When I see guys that kept riding right though like Geth and Alex I do wish that I could have stayed on a bmx, but I had a fooking riot with the other things too  :crazy2:
