I'd like to propose that because of the massive turnout last time that a new catagory or catagories should be added to the class.
In addition to 'Freestyle' and 'Race' we should add 'Trails/Dirt' ... what do you reckon?
Maybe even 'Freestyle' needs breaking down to 'Street' and 'Ramp/Park' ... even a 'Flatland' section?
To me it just felt like while judging that a lots of bikes were getting overlooked.
Food for thought anyway :-)

Best Freestyle/Vert
Best Flatland
Best Race
Best Dirt/Trails
Best Survivor
Flatland and Dirt/Trails should defo be represented IMHO because they were essentially pioneered in that era.
Loving your work lads.

Great idea! How about, to keep it lean:
Best Freestyle/Vert
Best Flatland
Best Race
Best Dirt/Trails
Best Survivor

Agree with the above. Survivor is a tricky one though. Does it have to be displayed as found? Or is anything that is built with parts that haven't been refinished automatically a survivor? There have been interesting debates around this in the old school section.

Yeah a tough one but not impossible to set some rules. Maybe any bike that was kept or bought with the parts, decals, etc that have survived since the bike was originally bought or built but perhaps allowing additions which are also ‘survivor’ parts? With judges marking down on repop or ‘new’ additions? So NOS additions from the era would be OK?

Think we can make our own rules up regarding survivors but NOS parts has gotta be a no no. "nono"

New Catagories proposed :
MS Freestyle/Vert
MS Flatland
MS Race
MS Dirt/Trails
MS Survivor
The only one I'd dispute would be 'Survivor' ... mid school is based around bikes that have been ridden and used ... anyone who is judging Mid School would know that ... blingy mid school bikes didn't rate as highly as authentic looking survivors to me when I judged.... but its good that different judges should look for different things every year ... mixes things up ...
So I'd suggest a change to :
MS Freestyle/Vert
MS Flatland
MS Race
MS Dirt/Trails
You'd probably still only need 2/3 judges doing the Freestyle/Flat and 2/3 doing Race/Dirt
Nick ... you need to push this to Nick, Rich and Bob if you think its got legs :4_17_5:

Agree that NOS and survivor cant exist on the same build and still be called a Survivor.

Happy to go with whatever you feel is best, last year I did mention that a few of the boys I was with had a fair amount of mid school bikes to share but didn’t really hear much back and that’s why there was a tent half way down the camping field where we all were
If you want to show and shine you just just enter them. Its not like you have to hear back from anyone. Its mot everyones cup of tea thoug, which is why there are bikes spread out all over the camp site.
Post by: ED209 on January 08, 2018, 05:05 PM
Based on last year it makes total sense to add Flatland and Trails/Dirt to the categories in the same way that 'street' and 'NS Retro' expand the Old School entries.

Last year was my first MK and will definitely be bringing more this year, more specific categories will be awesome :slayer:

Could I make a teensie ickle suggestion that the freestyle category is renamed to street - I'm being a ms snob, but freestyle is a bit, well, 1980's (don't lynch me you lot) :radbmxsmilie: :LolLolLolLol:

I just don't think that clean looking bikes should be penalised, after all it is a "Show and Shine".
Mid School wasn't solely about industrial looking bikes with dull colours, South Sea Flatland comps were filled with wall to wall chrome bling, just saying.

I reckon I was one of the very first midschoolers on this forum. It would have been me, Laz, Harris and just a couple of others. Well, at least that's my memory of it. Long before there was ever a dedicated section.
I was once asked to judge an old school show and shine at a RAD doo at Creation skatepark. I'm pretty sure I upset a few folk and was never asked again :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
With this in mind and assuming you mid school bitches have slightly thicker skin I would be happy to judge Mid School this MK.
Just don't coming running to me whining that you didn't win.... >:D
Come to think of it, if you're a proper midschooler you won't be able to run, so don't come limping to me whining that you didn't win.
Come to think of it, if you're a proper midschooler you don't whine.
So that's alright then.
Happy to help.
You're welcome.
Carry on :LolLolLolLol:
