The future of Old school BMX... ?
Jt:
said like a true pensioner :LolLolLolLol:
have spoken about bmx to 3 people through work..they are all now active on the sight and looking/toying with getting into it...
i dont know anyone who isnt interested when i talk about it, everyone 30-45 had one, in some form or another when they were growing up.
cant see it slowing down at all.
PHIPPSIO:
I was interested to see the Rockford pictures on vintage the banner at the show had the strapline "get back into it". Are they actively encouraging new people to get involved?? im suprised if they are as my overall experience over there is that they are very colse knit and are suspicious of newbs
Maybe thats the way to go, recruiting new people to get involved. Good to freshen it up and good for the economy of the hobby....particularly good for JT as he will shift a load of reflex's :LolLolLolLol:

This is a very good topic indeed, and one that was heard time and time again at Rockford. Concern about repro products was mentioned, as well as the direction of the hobby in general. Whats next? After the gold trickstar, what else can top that? No doubt in about a year's time we'll have the answer.
I see the camp between "keep it original" and "make a custom build" becoming more and more distant. There is only many times you can see a Trickstar in standard config before they become a "nothing special" build. Truth be known, there were only a handful of Trickstars at Rockford, and only 2 RL20II's. I wonder whether the creation of a gold bike sounds the deathknell for that particular bike - there was a gold RL20II, and now they dont appear popular - there's a gold trickstar, and yet there were only a few Trickstars at Rockford, even though Woody was there.
So I reckon its going to be showing the more and more rare bikes (what can be left?), or modifying the more popular builds using non standard parts and colours.
Just my take on it.
