OLD SCHOOL OR NEW SCHOOL .

<< < (4/16) > >>

I love Old School for the memories.

I love Mid School for the bit I missed.

I love New School for the purity of design & function.


It's all BMX. It's all great.

I cannot stand the look of new skool bikes. All look the same!

i guess this kind of post is always going to get the same old responses....but i thought exactly the same way as above but that was until i got a NS ride and actually learnt to love them!
no one will argue that OS was where it all started and the bikes (not all of them) look gorgeous with diferent lines and querky frame styles and we all love those..........but if you actually look (and i mean really look) at the quality new school bikes they are all very diferent in very small ways, yes they pretty much all share the same geometry but this is because it is now just right and been honed over many years.  take the Old Fools for instance......you look at the pictures from that weekender and tell me that those new school bikes don't look great!
take my proper for instance.....it's a raw frame and has red annodised stem and chainwheel (sprocket) white seat, bars and brakes.......so this 'all new school bikes are the same' is rubbish in my oppinion.

i love the O/S bikes, its where i started,

i cant help but look at the O/S bikes in the same light as old ,collectable toys,

nice to look at, but not serious bikes :daumenhoch:

i actually feel a bit sorry for the muppet's still chanting out the same old "N/S bikes are boring and all look the same"

ffs are you fooking thick or what?

they only look the same because you dont have a clue what you're looking at :LolLolLolLol:

if anything i'm a bigger fan of the mid-school :daumenhoch:

it was a great time, we'd gotten rid of all the hangers-on, posers and fooktards, it was just about having a good time ;)

i just love bmx tbh ;)

"hate" the new-school?  :LolLolLolLol:

fook off out of BMX, you've no place in it :daumenhoch:

Sensitive as always Joe.  ;)

I gotta agree to the points though. There are some beautiful new school bikes and, most of all, new school parts - and to ride they are leagues ahead of where we were BITD. For me, I love the simplicity of the lines on new school - three decades of honing the perfect geometry result in something very pure, functional, strong and ultimately very beautiful.

But, everyone is entilled to their opinion - I didn't like new school when I first got back into the sport, as I was used to old school. But once I did get into it, I never turned back and you soon see the differences between the bikes.

I suspect that new school bmx'ers looking back at the old bikes think they all look the same - all pads, gay colours and numberplates. But they are great to us because we lived and breathed them.

Hey, oh. Horses for courses. It's all bmx, love it.
