vert out of the x games

<< < (3/8) > >>

billstup:
The trouble is if you`re going to learn to ride vert it takes a lot of time and loads of slams to get any good, thats why they arn`t many, if any, youngsters learning to ride it  :idiot2:

perry:
plus you have to pad right up and thats far from trendy

add the lack of pics in mags that arnt contest pics , most riders want to stay away from the sponsored by a company image

Rampworx got rid of their 10ft halfpipe years back...    :'(

Stockport ( Bones i think ) took down one half of their halfpipe...

A few out door parks have gotten rid of halfpipes and vert quartres...

I'm not supprized vert riders are a dying breed!!

or maybe park is just more interesting to the new skool than vert is!!

Some kids that i know say the 14ft halfpipes with 2ft vert are just too hard to ride...
so slightly smaller halfpipes would encourage ppl to ride vert i think!! 

I know if Rampworx were to put a halfpipe back into the park, it would produce some talented new vert riders!!

TwoBobRob:
Thats sucks if its true.  BMX Vert was the biggest draw for the x games for a lot of years.

They should show a little respect. Enough riders have sacrificed their bones for that mob.

There is nothing to compare it too.   I suppose they'll just go with that big air ramp bollocks.

macky:
well thats the yanks for ya...  they'll be some big arse quartres plonked onto the park course!!

It seems the big corperations are trynig to rule the sport again... isnt that what killed the sport off the 1st time??

X Games must be worth quite a lot to the big wigs???
