Ouch, got a nice one of those from the rom moguls last year. Left me with a tasty scar! >:D
My pet hate is how much I've started spending on this 'hobby'! ::) :P
-
the missus moaning that im spending too much time playing with kids bikes!
-
Rain >:(

Aaaah pet hates, my favourite subject and i fancy a moan!
1. I fookin hate kids who don't show any respect for other riders.
2. Kids who feel compelled to show me they're twelve year old arse with comic book pants on, and now with matching seat for fook sake! Nice one éclat
3. Skateparks being built by total fookin nonse's who don't have a clue about layout
4. Council offering funding for parks and then halving the budget mid proposal
5. Riders not learning the basics first
6. People thinking that because they can do a couple of fashion tricks warrants a sponsorship
7. And the one fundamental thong that really fools me off with this sport is the thankless mistress this sport actually is, no matter how much you put in you'll never get the same in return from it. You'll only ever get anywhere in this sport is by hanging with the right crowd. I remember going to derby for one of they're jams, some lad did an awesome trick, so the photographer from ride went up to a 'pro' to do the same and he'd get the picture, to be met with the reply from the 'pro' I would but I can't do that trick. Did the photographer go up to the lad and get him to do it? Did he fook! That's the kind of shit stuff that happens in this sport. Pissed me right off.
8. The lack of street riding in modern day bmx, it's all frickin skateparks these days
9. Originality! Where the fook has that gone?
10. No decent bmx magazines
11. Jump tricks to the deck of a quarter because they're too pussy to do it over a jump box the the landing
12. Tw@ts pretending to have been 'there' when clearly they weren't and making themselves look knowledgeable with stolen material from previous threads and emails
fook it! ride for yourself, not the industry. It'll never pay you back

well phil says it all for me but 5 6 7 and 11 sum it all up and i've been at skateparks week in
week out for the last five years with my billy so i know and seen everything phil is banging on
about :)

Sometimes, if I dont roll my chain side trouser leg up enough it gets caught in my chainring. :-\
Thats about it. Its all good other than that ;)
and this new shit of having gloves hang out your sisters jeans back pocket when riding, but never wearing them. fookin idiots
People have been doing that a while. I think Ally Witton got a cover shot doing a wall tap and he had his pocket gloves folded so it was giving "the finger". It was pretty funny.
-
as a kid setting up gyros was my pet hate. that and bearings with cages that turn to dust >:(
im super chill now im older and about the only thing id let bug me would be the over branding of parts and the ocasional frayed cable that sticks in the end of your finger . lol
-
A big pet hate abbout BMX and me is I wish I'd been riding in the 90's and not had such a big break in riding
from late 81 to 87 ,,,,,Wilderness ,,,,,,,, feb 2006 to present
Another is now that, even without a decent slam ,, I can still hurt myself for weeks of pain,,,
being old sucks >:(

alex get this mate, the last time we was at corby it didn't seem the same, it was full of
fashion kids but they didnt look so impressive, billy was riding the big 1/4 and jump box section
and seemed to blow them away and with his full face and not so tight jeans ;D

I totally know what you mean Dan but I dont get wrapped up in it.
I have a front brake!!! No one even looks at me as any kind of fashion threat. :2funny:
-
I'm completely over everything that used to annoy me, These days my only true hate about bmx is my inability to do it.
It's still my life though, albeit in a very small way compared to some other riders.
-
Finding something on ebay you've spent ages trying to source then waiting to bid on it, only to see the seller pull the auction to someone who has offered him a " DEAL " cnuts :knuppel2:
-
Having no one local to ride with :(
-
as a kid setting up gyros was my pet hate.
same as me and i havent run a gyro since 93, just about to put one back on though :daumenhoch:
mine are
with buying parts
1.websites which dont tell u if the part u want is in stock or not
2.no free postage (except radbmx shop :daumenhoch:) yet mtb shops seem to manage it
with riding
1.kids arses hanging out
2.rain rain rain :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
this is my biggest hate
people who sit/stand in the competely wrong place blocking ur run up or landing, i have now taken to just smashing into them :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:
the amount of times i have had adults just walk in front of a bowl just as im about to jump out forcing me to brake/bail :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
even worse is when they let little kids no older than 2 run around the park climbing on bowls, ramps and genreally just getting in the way, im surprised none have been badly hurt yet
this happens all the time at southsea and really really really really really really gets my goat :rant:
-
Elbow pads on one arm only
'Boxing' mouth guards
Girls jeans and pants showing- I dont even like it on a girl
Kids on scooters
Kids on skateboards
Kids on rollerblades
Footjams- please f$ck off
Ridebmx mag uk
The loose boxes at creation that the kids drag around and leave in the way all the time
No brakes
Pegs.I've got them on but cant do anything on them
-
Rain >:(
fookin bang on dude :2gunsfiring_v1:
-
That I can't even do the rubbish trix that I did as a kid :knuppel2:
-
Having no one local to ride with :(
Me neither bob :(
My other pet hate is my older brother and some of my mates, they just don't see why I want to build up these bikes and have them on show, or even ride them! I'm sure they reckon I haven't grown up yet and that fooking annoys me >:(
-
hearing the ns kids shout wow when i table top a little jump( which is cool )but the next sentence being can you do a double frame whip or a backflip, ffs "ere? no sorry dude and i'm not interested in learning" its at that point they stop talking to you, that sort o bugs me , its nice when you can push someone to learn a new trick , i'll teach you how to table top, i get just as stoked watching you pull of a new trick as i do when i do a new one, "fookin weirdo" is the useuall responce :LolLolLolLol: i gues they all want to be on xgames , no ability to just ride how they want without fitting the latest fasion, i think its more disapointing than annoying , suppose that perspective comes with age, frayed brake cable stuck in you finger :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :LolLolLolLol:

rubbish chrome on wheels,im sure they use tin foil now.

I hate the fact that in 1985 aged 18 I gave up riding because it was considered socially unacceptable and childish to be riding a "kiddie bike"..... yet nowadays people don't say shit about riders in their thirties etc.
Would have stayed with it if only 1 of my buddies had kept riding.... but they all stopped :( .... more fool me :(
oh I hate some of the young riders today slaggin off old school cos they think it looks easy and crap..... it fookin wasn't back then... like everythin else the sport has evolved thats all :tickedoff:

exactly john, all i got at school was 'all you ever talk about is bmx' or 'bmx's again'..... fookin p1ssed me off, ' SO WHAT!!!! ITS MY HOBBY/SPORT/LOVE' or whatever, you were seen to be 'STILL' riding little bikes made for 12 year olds'.... it used to bother me then... now i just dont give a fook.... just wish it didnt then.....
-
:) Freestyle riders who come to our track & refer to the jumps as ramps,slag my bike off for having no pegs or gyro (it`s a racebike FFS) Not to mention MTBers who bitch that we should build a 4X track for them and that they can`t get any air on their 250lb bouncy bikes...

Getting Injured.

Arrogance of younger riders!
I hate the sh1t attitudes of some ( not all ) of the younger riders...
I hate the way they snake constantly even when they see you about to drop in... >:(
I hate every rider trying to look & dress the same...
I hate seeing every rider trying to learn the same tricks as everyone else, in the same way... no originality!
I hate newskool 'No handers'... ( half bent over bars, arms stretched down to the feet? wtf is that about? ) ???
I hate the way younger riders think 'Style' is a trick you can learn...
I hate kids asking me can I do whips or backflips... ( but probably only because I cant! ) ???
I hate that in an entire park, ppl choose to learn footjams on the jumpbox that I wanna ride...
I hate bladers... met only 2 bladers since I've been riding again that wasnt horrible B@stards!
I hate the way a certain park herds 100's of kids in that have never rode before & leaves them to run wild...
But luckily... the things I hate are heavily out numbered by the things I love about BMX! :smitten:
*One other thing... I HATE the fact that certain ppl who BITD used to try'n tell me I was too old for bmx...
now tell me I should have never givin up!!*

all of the above..
The main thing that niggles me. most good young riders that I see or know have great bike skills, but as stated above seem to use that ability to follow the crowd, not pushing and devloping their own tricks/combo's etc..
-
Just got to say it but i spent my early years trying to imitate my influences (leary, hill, judge, miranda etc) its only natural as you havent developed much originality at 12-13.
I never managed to actually do it though, and still cant.
And thats my pet hate, im crap :-[
-
just to please those who expect: I hate fly by night companys with tin foil frames and life time warranties.
I'm kidding, I just love doing the one or two tricks i know, I enjoy my bike, it's a way better bike that i need for my skills but i fricking love it.
i love it all
and i love you all, every god damn one of you! :-*
-
not having enough time to get out on my bike because of work
-
i dont really care what other riders are doing or what they look like, tight jeans cant be much worse than 80's pink gotcha tshirts and fluro shorts! :LolLolLolLol:
i love riding vert, dirt, park, street, i'll have a nibble at each, i guess the only thing i hate is not being able to decide what to ride

this has always been my argument, i dont think many of the good young riders are good,
repetiton will always win the day, robotic tricks, style is another thing and your own style,
i honestly dont see this a lot, it's only a few that will not follow the norm these days :daumenhoch:

Thats me more or less. 80 to 83... then stopped doing something I enjoyed because I was heading out of my teens. I found something that kept me riding called mountain biking, but it was never the same. Got married, had kids etc bla bla bla, then in Oct 2008 met all my old mates through shear chance who were getting back into BMX again. Spent all winter with them building jumps and eventually got myself a 24" cruiser and (as the saying goes... you never forget how to ride a bike) instantly started jumping again. A few days later and on a stupid silly set of doubles 1 foot high and a gap of 2 foot............................... Slam. In agony for a week, couldnt ride couldnt dig, never went to the docs, but it must have been ligament and not broken, but 6 months later, I still cant put my shoulder in certain positions because it hurts. If that had happened 25 years ago Id have been riding the next day. Now though and with the responsability of a wife, Kids and a meal to put on the table, its a big risk if I had another slam.
When I was 16+ I thought I was invincible. Now im 44 ive realised i'm not....... Thats what I hate now about BMX.

Bloody hell that's a positively an uncuth evening out :shocked:
,you wasn't out with ruffian types,like that Bof chappie
I heard he's one of those worker types you know, he doesn't even have a Bentley :-\
-
I have no real hates...
Don't understand why the 'mature' riders and the youth don't get along...if you get attitude, bore them into submission.
I do feel sad that I didn't take any notice of BMX BITD...being too busy with 'proper' bikes :2funny:
I do know back then I would have been bloody quick as I was ALWAYS on a bike...
I'm sad because getting older means unreasoning fear of injury or death by 2" bunnyhop
I'm sad because I'm unfit and slow and it's hard to ride any distance...
I hate nothing about BMX...It's enjoyable and fun...what's to hate.
Ray.
