I was going to just delete this post because that's the kind of guy i am an all that but then i read it and thought 'the truth'  ::) at least deserves an answer.

Mate, you talk a lot of sentimental old bollox for someone that's complaining about a load of sentimental old farts that like an old BMX, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I think you're missing the point matey, it's all bmx innit? Or is we not cool enough for ya?  :P

wow, Thats a bit harsh, who are you to tell us? Andy was shit??? Get real bikes? take a look around you gimp! there are over 2000 members on this site, with a common interest that is BMX,
Without us old farts BMX would have been like yo yos, and died in 1982, then the likes of  tabron and miron would still be sniffing glue in the alleyways!!
We may be old and we maybe crap, but we still keep it alive, and the majority of us still ride.
Go back in your hole an come out when you get your head round what you just said! cos from here you sound a gimp!!! :tickedoff:

 :wtf:who the f#ck is that little up-start! from what i can see of nu-skool bikes is they all look the same with there mono tone colours ie al black or all brown and ridden by spotty little twats who dont wash yet and have to wear hoodies to cover up thier acne ridden faces!
now this may be the wrong assumption but i didnt start my first post by slagging off the majority of this site because they like the old bikes which i for one do!

Welcome to the site dude! Nice to see you care enough about the history of the sport to visit our humble site.

A couple of things in feedback to your comments;

1) We are preserving the history of the sport we all love so much and have been involved in for over 25 years.
2) It's nice to reflect, it helps you make the most of every day.
3) Mostly, we all still ride.
4) And we ride new school bikes...we know they are better.
4) A few of the riders you listed (a fine role call BTW) are members of this site. Jerry Galley is a good friend and I've ridden with quite a few of the others.
5) And no, I was never as good as any of them! But feck I try.

Put your feet up and have a look around, it's all good, it's all BMX...no one takes it too seriously, dude.

Again, welcome. It'll be great to hear your story.

In the words of Mat Hoffman...Ride on.

twat with out a clue ?
i have ridden a bike from 1980 till this day apart from Alex Leech on this site were the fook were you in the early 90's
when bmx was dead,
My point is i met up with some the guys on this space and all they did was moan and look at bike bits it was very sad indeed,

you are so sad to try and pull me up on spelling of graig campbell (who gives a shit)
when the skaters Middle aged shred meet up they all Skate not stand around looking at whos got the shiniest anodised chainring.

INVENT YOUR PAST !!!!!!!!

Fair point dude. A lot of us did drop out of the scene in the early nineties...jobs, uni, drugs, family, whatever the excuse, it happens.

The whole 'INVENT YOUR PAST' thing, is what I meant by 'it's good to reflect'. It helps you live each day to the max as these are the memories you'll take to your grave...and BMX gives me some of my best memories; from Christmas 1982 right up to getting on my bike last weekend.

It's all good.

Hey, you must have some great pics & stories from the last 27 years - grab a scanner and share your life!

Nice one!

if someone had been riding for 25+ years they wouldn't go onto any bmx site with this kind of bullshit attitude.

Title: Re: george orwell
Post by: SaMAlex on March 22, 2007, 10:16 AM
Thanks for the name check, I’m stoked, but there are more “riders” on here that you are giving credit. I rode in the dead 90s with several members on here. (can you go back and put me on the list in the first post? Ha ha).

I know what you mean about skaters. They always just seem to get on with the skating and don’t waste time on the skateboards them selves. I think BMXers are always like that, current riders, and old schoolers I know I tend to skip through magazines looking for the new product pages.

I guess I was just too sad to find anything else to do other than ride in the 90s! ha ha

The truth

there is a lot of good riders on this site,

theres a lot of fast riders on this site

theres a lot of shit riders on this site who ride every week who are just looking for a bit of progression (no matter how big)

there a lot of people on this site who just wanna collect bikes talk about old times and drink tea

What difference does it make to you ?  get over yourself  and enjoy the site for what it is,  a forum to talk about bmx (old ,mid or new school )  shit man you can even tell us about your crossdressing fantasies  if you wish ? what ever floats your boat,

BUT dont come on here just to slag us all off cause im sure you wernt the only person to ride forever and im sure you aint the best rider on here either

so drop the attitude   or fook off!!!!!................  end of

IF YOU FORGET YOUR PAST YOU MAY AS WELL FORGET YOUR FUTURE

because without the early days , BMX would be nothing . Now we can all slag off people and its normally because A you are jelous or B you are Angry.

Jelous or Angry , you decide , when you have perhaps you would appologise and thank me for helping you understand your character a bit better and possibly putting some of your demons to rest

Gotta say, Im kinda with 'The Truth' on that one. I dont wanna tell anyone what to do, or what they should have done, but Im not sure if this is the place to be bragging about binning BMX for girls and drugs. (There were people who managed to do the girls and drugs and STILL ride.)

Yes but is it a competition to see who has spent the most time on a 20 incher , or is it about celebrating the choices we make and understanding that its the differences that make us special

jeez if everyone kept riding then it wouldnt of been uber cool and half the people who kept riding would have stopped cosit was too popular

and as i was busy dancing in a field , perhaps i was the one who had the last laugh , as i expanded my horizons and saw the world from a different perspective

which makes me better than you and far more street wise and at a guess far more popular and with a bigger cock , probably  :daumenhoch:

so what do you think of that then mr i am so cool and clever cos i kept riding my bike , and now look on the old school scene as  pathetic , even though by admission you are part of that scene , as you rode from 1980 on a BMX, which i personally dont belive ,but hey thats my opinion.

Kid, now with a slightly less impressed look on his face: "Oh. My mates only been riding for a year and he can do backflips"

Sorry to hear you had such a rough time for a while Flaz. I guess we should try not to be too quick to judge.

Firstly, apologies but I haven't read every reply.  I'm not getting this thread, seems to be a complete none issue to me.

The way I see things is I want to build and have a 'play' on a bmx and the fact that I'm in my 30s has nothing to do with it, I want to do it so I am.  My Dad was playing with model airplanes right up until he died, too.

And what people have done prior to getting back in to bmx (ie shagging, drugs etc) are just irrelevant.

The fact is, if I or anyone else wants to do something, from BMX to collecting Star Wars figures then I'll do it.

So what's the point of this thread besides mindless stirring for no reason?

Sorry if I've missed the point completely but haven't read every reply.

Nooo, I like this thread! No harm done yet?

I just read the first post again. There are loads of radbmx members in that list of names (some of them listed twice?). Its a cool spread of names from many years, made good reading.

I loved the line "Have you heard about those new stems you can get ?". Thats funny. You really cant argue about new bikes being better than old ones, if you are building them to ride at a high level (not everyone is).

Im not really with you on your fixation on how GOOD people are. I didnt think that mattered. In the 90s, the fact that you rode at all was good, no mater what tricks you could do.

Come on, who are you? Team Sano are a long way North (well, maybe their not far from you?).

so let me sumarise

progression is good

but what came before is rubbish even though that was progression from what was previous

its an oxymoron and therfore you are talking rubbish and cant see the howling error your life is based upon

re think yourself before its too late , it will set you free

I loved the line "Have you heard about those new stems you can get ?".

patronising.

for the record, i have. sorry, i wasn't at the factory where they were first made though.
and i rode in the 80's, the 90's and the 00's.  i have been riding for 18 of the last 24 years. in the 80's i rode long after everyone i knew gave up. in the 90's i was riding rewelded shit bikes. i was riding when it was cool to have 4 pegs and a gyro, and when it wasn't cool to have 4 pegs and gyro. when wide bars were in, then out, and now in again. when bikes were bright colours, then dark colours. when pegs were invented. when the potts mod was invented. when raleigh made bikes called "juicer" and "ferret". when ryan nyquist was uncool as he had "sold out". i was riding when "bmx grind" came out, and subsequently disappeared. bmx has changed a lot during these times, but some things remain the same.

You know we keep getting these 'i didn't stop riding so i'm better than you, things have progressed get over it' mugs. I've probably come across a good ten or twelve of these kind of people since i started coming to old school forums.

 JB's intro on the old Vintage BMX front page springs to mind

It's not like i give a monkeys what you say, i mean i'm still going to ride my bike and polish my old skool bikes no matter how much you rant but i am interested in why? I mean is there anything more to it other than just trying to provoke a response?  So many other riders that never gave up don't seem to have a problem so why should you?

'The truth'  ::)  maybe you could enlighten me?

And what does it all have to do with Orwell? did he ride through the 90's too?

PM me mate, i'm all ears.
