Freestyler :daumenhoch:
-
I started with toys r us bikes and im working my way up, got a really nice goose race bike at the moment, that i fell out of love with, then rode it at blackpool and loved it all over again, and recently ive scored a freestyler, and to be honest thats about me done, I have a freestyler, a race bike, a new school, and a couple of toys r us / woolworths specials and i think thats me done [he says] Ive got a bit of everything, and all riders
-
Freestylers for me too but have both just in case :daumenhoch:
-
Race by a country mile. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

There is only one true BMX type of bike and thats the Freestyler :daumenhoch: :coolsmiley:
Race bikes race, Freestylers do it all :coolsmiley: Take the Torker, freestyler but also race bike :daumenhoch:
Nuff said :-*
-
Freestyle for me :daumenhoch:
-
Stick a poll up Brummie :daumenhoch:
-
BMX is racing >:D
-
Always been a race bike for me. :smitten: Raced in 80's and 90's so it's in my blood.
There are a few freestyle builds on the the wish list though.

Race or freestyle it's all bmx... :daumenhoch:
-
Race bmx for me
-

-

-
See what you've started Brummie!!! :LolLolLolLol:
i know :idiot2:
78 views and only 13 votes. so took the time to read but couldnt be arsed to click a box :P
was just curious tbh as i like all bmx but prefer freestyle types
-
As iconic as some freestylers are,I would say it's race for me,but it's all in the name BMX,bicycle moto cross
I will always think of racing as the first step
thing is though whichever way the vote goes,it will probably fook up BOTM,if you get me drift

tbh stu, no i dont get your drift at all :LolLolLolLol:
wtf has it got to do with botm ya loon
-
freestyler for me, i,ve been riding freestyle for nearly 30 years and have 2 new school riders. i've never raced but i've got 2 pk rippers an ammaco 202 and i'm currently building a race inc ra7. bitd i would use any bike for freestyle as long as it was cheap enough. it would normally be a second hand race bike was all i could get my hands on.
-
race bikes for me now although my first proper builds years ago were streetbeats.
-
Dave,here's me drift,with all that happened in the last BOTM,whichever way the vote goes,may make some people,with a non winning category bike,think they won't win because it's a race/freestyler
-
Can't vote Dave - love riding my freestylers, love looking at my race biks :daumenhoch:
Put a "love them both" tick box and that's where most of us will be. except for that fookin' loon Costa :uglystupid2: :uglystupid2: :2funny: :daumenhoch:
-
gonna forget this as some of you lot can turn the simplest things into right dramas so i just cant be arsed
was just curious as i PREFER freestylers and was looking to see who else felt the same. i love everything bmx and have allsorts in my collection
still cant see what this would have to do with botm
-
Race for me, I raced bitd and could'nt pull any stunts worth talking about on my pals Haro, was s5it at freestyle then and I'm probably a 1,000 times worse now.
-
Both for me as its all BMX, its nice to have an old school racer to ride and a freestyler, whatever I decide to take out of the shed on the day :LolLolLolLol: gotta be :Great_Britain: though :daumenhoch:
-
I prefer freestyle but some race bikes do float my boat aswell, as long as it's not just a boring round top and bottom tubes then I'm interested.
-
this site should be changed to WWW.RACEBMX.CO.UK
i prefer race bikes :fart:
freestyle bikes are harder to build trying to source the right parts, race bike stuff is 10 to a penny all of them near enough have all the same parts apart from different frames and bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! end of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo_silent:
why the fook is there NO freestyle bike of the month for us people that dont like watching paint dry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont get me wrong i do like some race bikes but i do love a quadangle thoe :smitten:
-
Race for me, love 'em. For me, sexier looking. :smitten: (Can I write that about a bike??? :crazy2:) Perhaps cos none of us had freestyle bikes BITD. ???
-
Difficult question, my top bikes are freestyle but then most other freestyle bikes are quite ugly... when i started this hobby i didnt think i'd ever build a race bike but i seem to have moved over to only race bikes now. I grew up with freestyle and we all hit the track on our bikes.. something you cant really do the other way round .. race bikes aint no good for freestyle.
... i cant choose :-\
-
I'm with Brummie!!! Just a bit of fun!!! :daumenhoch:
-
can't vote? whatagawn...
Freestyle everytime :4_17_5:

pointless thread realy........................... you already know the answer from bike of the month ;)
-
not really steve as i can see who i might be able to help out/gain advice from freestyle builds wise etc and as previously stated just a bit of fun and at least bmx related
this thread has nowt to do with bike of the month but sheer curiosity mate, i prefer building freestylers and it was freestylers i wanted back then. this dont mean i dont like racebikes cos i own a few of them to. i voted for terrys jmc in botm but next up for me would have been the 78 robbo with the dp my 3rd choice. its all down to preference on the day when i look at the pics prior to casting a vote. out of the literally hundreds of members on here only a very few vote in botm anyway which is a shame
so your freestyle builds not winning could be down to couldnt be bothered to vote as much as anything else. so stop being paranoid :coolsmiley:
i have voted for em in the past and they are great bikes :4_17_5:
i build bikes for me, i dont need upteen pats on the back to tell me i like them cos if i didnt i wouldnt build em :daumenhoch:
peace out :-*
-
race bikes look far better for me.all this pink and orange shiiiiiiiite doesn't float
my boat but i do like some freestylers.

i make you right but i just dont see the point in having freestyle bikes in bike of the month when 90% of the users are into race bikes, a freestyle bike that you have bled to the bone restoring will allways loose, fair enuff but its when your beat by a burner is the fooking anoying thing and yet everyone hates burners......work that out.................................... its a loosing battle.........
anyway my theory is
freestyle = SPARTAN WARIORS
race= knitting class
end of!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo_silent:
;D

Costa, stop sitting on the fence and say what you mean! ;-)
-
I'm with Brummie!!! Just a bit of fun!!! :daumenhoch:
Brummie, Brummie, i love you Brummie :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

Freestyle bikes have won BOTM before though Stevie ;)
just not yours :D ,, but that's down to who the voters are voting for some months :)
As for getting beat by a Burner ,,, Burners have won on a number of occassions
A Burner won and put my race bike into 2nd place in this years BOTY :LolLolLolLol: It does belong to Craig Schofield and he won the World championships on it so ,, I did get over it :LolLolLolLol:
Don't forget the Raleigh MK1 Pro, Aero pro, Team Aero Ruffell replicas are
all very nice japanese made with good geometry and good components :)
I did more tricks than tracks as a kid ,,we had a halfpipe and dirt jumps , but I rode anything from Ammaco, Falcon, GT Nora, Kuwi Nova, DP freestyler and I had Ukais Arayas CMC OGK and TuffII's so basically just street bikes, no specific race or trick set up
I do have a Gen 1 Haro and did an 87 Performer sometime ago but have tended to stick to the main icon brand bikes that were in BMX action bike pre 85 :smitten:
So all race then :LolLolLolLol:
But I do like all BMX and I mean any brand too really , deffo no brand snobbery here
As long as it's built right and proper thought has gone into it ;)
Old , Mid and New,, race or trick it's all good in my book :daumenhoch:
-
Race just race for me all the way.
-
Freestylers all day, but I do love a national pro but its Haro freestylers all the way :daumenhoch:
-
freestyle 2 the max everytime 8)
-
Freestylers for me , but i do own a number of race bikes in my collection :daumenhoch:
-
Freestylers for me also. Do really like redline 500a that I have and one day will get a mongoose proclass.
-
Brummie you should've let the poll run for longer
,, Costa would've been proven wrong , but been happy as it looks like most have said they like freestyle :)
-
I would have voted race if i could. Love freestyle too though.
-
Freestylers all the way for me.
-
Race bikes all the way ... Fast and furious . :daumenhoch:
Freestyle might pull the chicks ,Cos they like the sick pastel colours ... :LolLolLolLol:
-
Freestyle for me too, but again thats down to my background as a kid - no tracks anywhere near me so I grew up on improv ramps and trying to pull cherrypickers and miami hoppers.
Def not got any firm fave or hate any, its all great to see. And even though most my bikes are freestylers, the number one as a kid for me was the TA. Lucky enough to get one last year, and turning it into a freestyler as we speak.... :LolLolLolLol:
-
I raced bitd so would've voted race :daumenhoch: .
Only one freestyler here ( my GJS ) and only because it's kinda funky & there's not loads about ( like "different" things ... lol ) , had two 84 RL20's and sold em both .
-
Ha ha, you can have a mix of both you know - let's see what poeple think in the BoTM this month then :coolsmiley:
A race-bred freestyler with freestyle parts but racing Araya 7X's on freestyle tyres...... >:D :shocked:
