OLD SCHOOL OR NEW SCHOOL .
darkersomeday:
i know i shoot from the hip a bit sometimes :-[
its the level of resentment towards the new-school on this forum thats always appalled me,
i get the feeling from some of the members on here that they are essentially jealous of the young riders and latest styles,
like it pisses them off seeing people still riding and enjoying what they themselves no longer have the courage or ability to do,
its actually very sad isnt it? like some old guy sat there grumbling about "how things used to be"
lets be totally honest here eh? saying that one era of bikes looks better than another is a complete fooking nonsense really isnt it?
a red bike then is a red bike now,
a pair off wheels then is a pair of wheels now,
etc,etc,
ffs the whole reason we love these little bikes is that the have TWENTY INCH WHEELS!!!
so whats changed? even the fooking "double-diamond" frame design is still there!
its all the same bag of bones anyway!
fair enpough if you like to sit reminiscing and w@nking off over some over-priced kiddies toys but ffs at least have the boll0cks to get out and enjoy riding a proper bike :daumenhoch:

i was totally old school, but much prefer mid school, great lookin bikes and well ridable, new school doesnt do it for me as riding of the older bikes is why i do this, but each to their own

I think the problem ,is that most nuschool bikes these days get there paint removed, the seat slamed, so they start to look the same, BUT, they arnt, i love my nuschool bike, and cant afford the OS bikes these days, plus i wont a bike i can ride and enjoy, its all bmx ,old mid ,and new, i know this is a OS site, but opinions are opinions, if anything bikes have improved alot, as tricks are much more abusive these days, its all evolution, mid freestyle bikes got heavy and over built, to take the bag of tricks of the time, now there much lighter, but still strong, so all is good, i love the low saddle low slung look of today, but i set my bike up as i like it, plus for how i use it, :daumenhoch: this subject always courses rucks, i dont know why, we all love bmx, final :4_17_5:

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:

I think this is a minority Joe - a great deal of members on this site are active riders and appreciate all things BMX.

As you know mate, I've recently had to give up riding all together due to health problems - the same as many other people on here. So, there may well be hidden reasons as to why people don't ride - so don't judge too hard. But when I did ride, it was new-school all the way.
But, now I look to restoration and collection as part of staying in the sport. So, it's a good job I can still wank, eh?
