Title: Is it me or.......................
Post by: AKGOFF on February 04, 2013, 08:20 PM
Are the majority of BMX (old and new school) riders / racers and collectors from The north of England, sort of Birmangham upwards?

If so what do you think the reason for this is?

Just wondered really.

There are loads of park riders in the Saarf Ad.  There must be when you lot had just about the only decent skatepark in the country when I was a kid (Rom)

Radness does multiply as you go further North though  ;)

Awesome, I see another North/South banter thread coming on.

The North and South have a love/hate relationship. Southerners love themselves and northerners hate them for it.
