The future of Old school BMX... ?
brass monkey!:
This is how I see things...
Okay whats the ave age of a collector in the UK ? mid 30's ? Ave age in the US must be 40 ish ?
If thats the case, then theres at least 5 years of mileage in the UK market..
So, how long will this hobby keep our interest? Probably as long as there's a new build to be built, but there again what is left that hasn't been covered? How much more are folks willing to spend to get 'that' ultimate build that no-one else has done, been able to afford/buy etc... Difficult one to answer...
Available Cash ? Surely the credit crunch has hit the US Guys harder than us? I have seen a few big collectors selling up....
I think 3-5, possibly more ??? years left, but there will be peaks n troughs as far as prices go as always.
There's some very exciting stuff going on, particularly John DeBruin aquisition of the Hutch Brand, that's gotta add to the longevity of the hobby...,I personally have no problems with re-issues as long as they are clearly marked as such.
i reckon it'll end up like most hobbies; classic car enthusiasts, the numbers will swell, then die down, but the hardcore collectors will be around for a while yet. I hope so as this hobby, RAD BMX and VBMX have made the life a whole lot more interesting
Personally I have as many bikes as i can afford/my wife will tollerate in the house, 7 at the mo, inc 3 of SE's finest, Trickstar, 2 Torkers...., maybe one or two more, but will probably sell first.
