The future of Old school BMX... ?

(1/6) > >>

othomas2:
I was wondering what the future holds for OS BMX... ? Are these the golden years right now... ??

Has the whole thing reached it's pinnacle in terms of the amount of people involved in restoring old bikes and attending events; the max cost at which parts sell for etc etc... will it all die off from here leaving a handful of die hard collectors ??

IMO In 5 years of so... I can't see this growing more that it has done already... I don't think there will be enough interest in OS BMX to breed a sufficient new generation of enthusiasts... I'm 25 now and most of my pals don't really get it and those I know of that age group are limited numbers right now, let alone anyone younger... will the older BMX forum members of today keep the flame lit for years to come & still own several bikes as a pensioner ???

What do you think ?? Please discuss...

type bigger please, my eyes aren't what they used to be.    :daumenhoch:

if you look at classic cars they always have a following, even if the car is 70 years old, i suppose as long as the bike is in mint condition then i think they will always appreciate in value ???

PHIPPSIO:
We collect bikes from a certain era, i.e the era when we discovered bmx as a kid but i also think its about a time in your life now. I havent been collecting that long as it didnt really appeal to me when i was pi$$ing it up in my youth but at a certain point when i discovered the scene, i was hooked.

My point is (if i even have one), when you get a bit older perhaps you become more interested in looking back and collecting things from bitd. Theres also the mid school scene, will that be the next collectible era as those who rode ms bikes will become collectors when they reach a certain age......or am i actually taliking a load of sh1t  :-\
There will always be BMX collectors, but perhaps the collectible era will change?

OrgasmDonor:
greater appreciation for midschool and then for what we call new school now, will become more apparent in passing years which may in turn have collectors looking back over towards the 70's n 80's to complete a lineage in their collections, the early stuff in any collection is always desirable, i don't think there is gonna be much money to be lost, if any,  on the things people are buying now
