so we've come to the point where the mid school is no different to the old school,

where the only real discussion seems to centre around "how much things are worth" :LolLolLolLol:

"a 92 is worth more than a 93"

is that it?





what a fooking disgrace.

what this is about?

its about being able to build bikes and have fun,

and when all that is discussed is the monetary value of a thing then it becomes focused on money and supposed "worth"

and gradually what happens is people without a disposable income become excluded,

its clearly happened in the old school scene and its gradually dying because of it,

please lets not do that here, myself and alot of others here have put time and effort into bringing recognition to the mid school era,to have it go the same way as the old school would be a fooking shame and a waste,

if you want to jerk of about how much "things GO for"

the old school is that way<<<<<<<< :LolLolLolLol:

i don`t care what my condor is worth as owned it for well over 10 years now and even if got offered stupid money for it i never sell it as the last proper bmx i rode when was fit and able to ride

There's still only really a handful of mid bits fetching high prices, most frames struggle to reach 3 figures from what I've seen.
Having said that 93' Condors are well better than 92' ones  :D and I've got a semi-on watching this auction.

On a side note - there's a tiny sting of hypocrisy going on in this thread since I wheedled me way home from work. You can't say brand loyalty sucks if you're gonna say in your next breath that old school is sh1te and mid school is better 'cos it's cheaper.

We're all here 'cos we either still love to ride or love building bikes or both. Lets just keep it nice and friendly and drop the skatepark elitism eh?

the era's aren't brands???

I used to be well into the old school scene but its all but dead these days, everything interesting has been found and built and its just the late comers that are building bikes that cost thousands to piece together, so it stopped being fun years ago,

at heart i have more allegiance to the mid school because I rode through that era too and to be completely honest it had more integrity because all the lightweights,nobheads and clingers on had fooked off,

most of the old school threads seem to end up with a few members constantly referring to each other on first name terms and calling each other gays or bummers,
I know that folk do this so they can feel more a part of something, its pretty normal behavior,
it just saddens me that the mid section has been invaded by these lonely idiots,

this section out of the whole forum has some interesting and intelligent debate,
if on joining the forum the only thing you can think of to add is yet ANOTHER hoffman condor I feel a bit sad for you,

having watched the old school bloom and die off part of me knows its inevitable the mid school will go the same way....
Title: Re: Early Condor on the bay
Post by: Mdbh on October 24, 2012, 08:13 AM
I understand what your saying fella but we are having a joke between friends!

 ithink you need to chill out as this is not a secret club for people who want to keep mid school under ground,
 when people collect stuff prices will go up that's life, this is a forum so I can post what I like well as long as I'm not really upsetting anyone, I love everything mid school every brand etc I've pretty much had most of them over the years and rode with some cool guys, as for my airmaster/condor builds I was 6 when they was new on the market next your say I can't build them because I wasn't there living it...?  So I say wind your neck in and leave it out! And why are we idiots? So having banter between friends makes you a idiot, you've gone wayyyy over the top here fella :daumenhoch:

Like I said before Joe (hope you don't mind me calling you by your first name), in the nicest possible way - drop the skatepark elitism.

And there's no need for the 'ooh you've just joined the forums/have a low post-count so you're a noob' - people rediscovering bmx or just wanting to rebuild bikes they did have/always wanted shouldn't be put off posting and being proud of it irregardless of how many other bikes of the same ilk are kicking about, whether it be a Hoffman, Standard, S&M, Powerlite, Zima, Terrible1, DK, Haro, Diamondback and so on. Plus there's PLENTY of interesting and intelligent debate going on in other sections of the forums, as well as a load of jokes about bumming/Nazi laser cats etc.

Finally, having ridden during the 80's (but generally hampered by short toptubes and frames that snapped like twigs), but ridden a fook load more and better during the early 90's-early 2000's and yep - I too have way more allegiance to mid-school stuff - I can honestly say there still were as you put it 'lightweights,nobheads and clingers' in the 90's at every park/trails I went to here in the UK or abroad, but that's life innit - they're still here today when I go out riding and always will be. Only difference now is I'm old enough now to not give a t0ss that they're there.

Love,

And why are we idiots? So having banter between friends makes you a idiot, you've gone wayyyy over the top here fella :daumenhoch:

trust me,
that was not "way over the top"
I was being polite,

I do agree though, you should have the right to make facile, banal "in" jokes with your "mates" on a forum,
so by that rationale I have the right to point out how banal,flacid and pointless it all is,

making a fuss of ebay prices does nothing but push them up, I think you're right in the sense that its inevitable, but as the buyers of this stuff we risk fooking ourselves in the ass don't we?
you make a thread about an auction, several people from the forum have a bid and the price goes up,
it also makes a useful guide for folks wishing simply to scoop and re-sell stuff,
as we've seen in the old school, and all that creates is animosity,

my lonely fookers comment was unfair though, we're all here to talk bmx,

I quite like the fact you were only 6 in the mid era, good on you for having the interest,

you were only 6 though,

so wind your fooking neck in :LolLolLolLol:

I was working in an offy back then (living the dream) - one of the more popular tipples, along with the old MD 20/20. Bit of them and a 1/4 and you'd be hoying up in no time :)
