I've been asked by a few of the old school Rad guys to come to MK - I hope they can now see why I wont bother. I really cant believe I am getting slagged off for attending a bike show, just like all of you guys do.

And the VDC was original - no NOS parts. i didnt go there to win anything, just to take part. I really enjoyed it. I hope MK is as good for you guys as Rockford was for me.

...it's a shame you won't be going to MK this year, I'm pretty sure a number of people would have liked to see a few choice builds from your Redline collection.

I read something yesterday about Rockford and thought 'here we go!'. People are gonna coment on things that they have seen in the pics, or read on Vintage without actually being there. Whatever.

I for one wanted to go to Rockford for the past 2/3 years but havent been able to do it due to commitments at home. Does that make me a brown noser?

Yeah some of our American friends come onto this site and very welcome they are to but its not a case of us and them. Dont go calling the US bikes making out we are sooooo special. FFS we have had show winners that dont have chains on! and every show has something that 'isnt quite rite' in at least 1 persons eyes because at the end of the day we all do it differently.

It pi55es me of when the online heros of Rad bang on about how 'great we are' and 'how great this site is'. Well its only any good by the input that is put in and the atmosphere that is created. This is regardless of the type of bikes you build, how you would build them, geography etc etc. I read both Vintagebmx.com and OSBMX.com regularly and post every now and then. I dont know many people on either site but have never recieved any grief from being there, only ever had compliments, constructive critisism and help with answers to my questions.

Just for the record..... Neil (Subwax) and I have had crossed swords on more than one occasion! Maybe we dont see eye to eye on somethings, so what! I'm here for the OS BMX scene, BMX racing has been a huge part of my life for 25 years solid. Never been away and it does pi55 me off when this shit happens. If, after MK08 we start reading threads online about this and that being wrong with bikes over here the usual suspects will be the first to complain and be offended.

If you wanna bitch about other people, probably people you have never had dealings with (good or bad) keep it to yourselves cos I for one dont come on here for the ever increasing bad atmosphere.
