Yep, everyone is still licking the wounds of their Christmas credit card bills i'd guess......

Munny was riding with us at Terminal One a few weeks ago so he's still on the scene. Can't comment about Facebook as i'm not on it.

Not sure if it's due to my dumping FB but personally feel that it's improved on here of late
From what I hear the usual idiots and bitching haven't gone away, so I'm happy for them to stay there

Seen a few newer members contributing some great threads and bikes too, which only means any longer-standing members will have more to reply to once they return  :daumenhoch:

The party is very much alive and kicking on FB Clint it's a real shame as it's getting very quiet on here  :tumbleweed:

I don't know what to do to reverse the trend anymore ?  ::)

Nowt you can do Ant.

I haven't contributed much of late, busy elsewhere in life at the mo.

Pretty much all my stuff is in storage, I haven't even bought anything in months  ::) and I need to buy a LOT more stuff yet  :D

Hopefully I'll get more productive soon  ;)

Most people are on facebook.

The current topic of debate (huge argument) is repops as Elina seats are about to be repoped and people who paid big dollar for fakes from Thailand are pissed off.

Also a scandal has been uncovered involving the CEO of a well known facebook page who won a raffle with a ticket he had asked for gratis then moaned about the bike he won.

Reminds a bit of Rad in the old days before the masses got smart phones, endless arguments over repops and a lot of other crap too, a bit of skulduggery behind the scenes, same shit different platform.

So true however since most of the idiots are sticking to Facebook there is a lot less twatwaffle on here!  Sadly a lot of the banter and posts from long time members have dropped off perhaps as other interests or family circumstances have changed which does make it seem quiet at times.

Slightly off-topic but I bought a cheap Aldi one, drilled 2nr additional holes in it to align it correctly and bought some air-conditioning pipe lagging to cover the steel tubes. I drove 2,800 miles last summer at toll-road speeds with these three on the back no problem. I had the straps anchored to the boot hinges and an additional set in case they failed arount the boot, but it was set low enough to get under the 1.8m restriction for the Chunnel and kept the bikes in the slip-stream of the car. Got to be honest, I didn't even notice they were there most of the journey :coolsmiley:

Lost all love for it.  sold a few and would sell the rest if anyone would buy them  ;D

still pop in a few times a week but no longer interested in anything BMX related to be honest, thought it was a passing fad but felt the same for about a year now.


Finding my kicks elsewhere with a great bunch of blokes, all off here coincidentally  ;D

I hear that Rob, I still go in fits and starts but not had the desire to sell anything off yet!  I've cuf  back my forum activity on other forums too and only pop in here these days.  Have cut Facebook back considerably and thinking of binning it all together.  Still, I do love bmx as much as ever!
