Is it people who have a passion for what they hold dearly to their heart, derived from their childhold pastime (hobby is not the right word here cos it was our lives, it was mine, at least) or is it a "I own this" community?
Now, in my opinion, it is just a bunch of ego maniacs, he who earns more, wins. Wether it be an ebay auction, or the latest £1000+ build they just accomplished?
Maybe it is a bit of the "green eyed monster" in me, but, Dave, you have asked the question as to what is happenning in this community, and this is my conclusion.
Not all of us have £'s at our disposal, so cannot afford the high prices that these "builds" demand!
That said and done, this is and always will be the number one OS BMX website.
Albeit, if we could do away with all the bickering and squabbling.
Back to my point!
I doubt there is nothing that can be done about this!
FACT.
What a shame, is all I can say. ( I remember the good old days)
Childrens bicycles for fooks sake.
Lets all have a bit of a reality check.
I have taken a back stage position for a long time on here now, purely and simply because of all the "sharp shites" who have an opinion, on your opinion.
Don't get me wrong, enter the lions den and all that, but why don't you who know "nowt", just sit back and educate yourselves, before jumping in with both feet?
Why all the mud slinging?
I don't "prefer" this site anymore, not like I used to, but I HAVE THE PASSION FOR OS BMX and cannot leave it alone! FACT!
I am itching to delete my account, but cannot find it in my heart to do it.
MY PASSION IS OS BMX!
When was the last time I slagged someone off on here?
Never, if my memory serves me right!
Take a leaf out of my book, "sharp shite"!!!!!
CHILL!
Sit back and learn!
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

i don't think old school bmx is about who owns what. it's about the memories you had as a kid.

i don't collect old school bikes, but i have memories of having one when i was a kid. i can still do a few old school tricks. that's about it. but i still feel as if i am part of the old school scene.

if there are people who think old school bmx is only about collecting old school bikes with the rarest of rare parts, then they are missing out on a whole aspect of it. I can still do cherry pickers and framewhips. that doesn't cost me anything. i still have the memories, that doesn't cost me anything either. if someone wants to spend thousands of pounds to feel part of the old school scene, then it's up to them. i personally would rather go with the free option.

Its about riding   ;)  not dust collecting , just my opinion , once you have a bike , no matter how much it cost , or what bits it has on it , its about riding the blooming things, dont get me wrong, its great to look at the bikes, but at mk last year i didnt realy look that much, as was more interested in riding around the track, and racing, i never raced bitd, so was a great laugh, you never know how much longer you can do all this, ive had a wake up call recently, and was thinking about stop riding, but untill im told i have to stop , im going to keep on RIDING  ;) so it dont matter if ya have tons os dosh and hundreds of bikes, ive got 1 , and my passion has never been stronger for these little bikes   :4_17_5:
