Title: Epic BMX picture thread. Pics that sum up what BMX was/is to you.
Post by: midschooljon on January 22, 2013, 08:06 PM: I notice on a lot of other forums (non BMX) there are always inspiration threads that are always great to follow. I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we could post BMX RIDING pics that have inspired us over the years. They might have appeared in magazines, been brand adverts, or they could have been pics you have seen recently online. Im talking about the type of pics that you saw BITD that made you want to grab your bike and go ride, and the type of pics you look at now and make you think "thats why I started riding".

Ill start with a few of my favourites.

Post by: hunterdubber on January 22, 2013, 08:58 PM: Yeah it was a Race/track pics thread Rich :daumenhoch:

This is slightly different as it's more open and includes anything from Racing , or Freestyle , cover shots , advertisements ,
basically anything that inspired you to get on a bike :daumenhoch:
