as would be expected the O/S is well represented but the Mid is needing a few more rides to feature,

i got an email today asking if i knew of any other builds
would anyone be interested?

you need, high resolution photo's of the side-on front angle,rear angle and 2/3 detail shots,
and your bike has to be original,restored,NOS,era correct etc,

basically it needs to be fooking good........ :-X

i reckon the midschool section would be better represented with riders, not carpet queens.

if you are going to go all era correct, nos, minty, perfect, blah blah blah you might as well just put them in with the other "old bmxes that never get ridden"

Alex's HAF would be a good addition to that list though.

my apologies JT i should have been clearer, when i said "original" i was referring to the well ridden survivor bikes, as long as theyre decent builds and representative of the mid school time frame,

alexs haf definitely deserves to be in there, several others of his too, and DEFO the mad dog,

As Joe says... you must have HIGH RES images on a plain background.

They contacted me about a few of my builds but rejected the pictures due to the backgrounds... So I took time to reshoot them.

i believe a couple of others are a must for mid school;

Hoffman Taj, fook me, if an evil kneivel gets in a taj must!
T1 barcode, iconic to everyone in bmx who was 'cool'
Volume hellion mk1, anyone who went to a skatepark in the late 90's would know why i put this in the list.

from the lower end of the spectrum;
gt vertigo
haro shredder
