Title: BOTY 2007 - Winner
Post by: mark 2 on January 01, 2008, 05:56 PM
(SPEECH)

Flippin 'eck I won. I can't believe it really, I'm a bit gobsmacked. I never showed any of my bikes on rad until this year (maybe I didn't want a slating from the nasty buggers on here lol) , been collecting since 4 xmas' ago, with  getting an 85 Master f&f just to hang on a wall and it snowballed into a seat and 50 or so bikes later..... Been on rad since the old site, and Dan Harris knew bits of what I had and encouraged me to show some pics of the stash so finally posted some of my builds this summer so the Pro Star pics were just what's been lurking in photobucket for a while. BOTY comes up and in for a penny in for a pound, a bit of fun amongst friends.... :LolLolLolLol:

Been a great year for builds some amazing ones entered (that's why I can't believe it won) that I'd gladly own, well done to you all. And I'll sound like a big fanny but it means a lot to me winning this. I entered OS too, I'm a member on there but never posted  before,  just had the email for their boty so bunged the pics on (came 2nd btw in it's catergorie), and sadly for the organisers it all got a bit corrupt and bitchy and the fun and credibilty of it went out the window a bit imo. But rads my home, I'm among friends so it means stacks more to me to do well here so I'm pretty chuffed.


So thanks to all of you that voted and left some very generous comments over the bmxycle, I'll let you all have a whizz around the garden if your ever passing.....was giving up the bike building this year, don't think I will now  ;D


Thanks Bill and all at rad for the legwork......(CUE MUSIC)

I believe that children ARE our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity (AT THIS POINT MY TROUSERS FALL DOWN AND I TRIP OVER)
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all



I love you one and all GOODNIGHT!  ;D

P.S. You've all been had, my dad made it in his shed out of rusty gates and I tarted it up in photoshop. SUCKERS! :LolLolLolLol:

Tbh Mark, was the only winner as soon as you posted it mate. If you dont take into account the money to build that Hutch, its fooking mint, if you do take into account the money, well its mint. Guess am saying this was my vote from the off and there was some loverly bikes in B.O.T.Y. and regardless of the other sites Radbmx is all that counts  as we have seen this year. I have seen most other site builds of the year and if they all went into one total bike of the year, yours would still have my vote cos apart from a black chrome cw its the best bike i have seen this year  ;) Well done  :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

Congrats that bike looks the bomb!!
Well done on winning
Must confess i preferred the pick of the Blue Hutch but that had more to do with the scantily clad bird draped all over it!!!
Obviously the voters weren't easily distracted.
Nice one fella looks MINT!!

Two taffy's and a ginge have won the last 3 years, the underdogs are on a roll, get one built for 2008 Daz, the odds are good :LolLolLolLol:

And thanks again everyone for you generous words, Bananaman said he'd pull you all off behind the wheelie bins at the next mk as a special treat and he promised he'd wear lipstick to eliminate any shame you may feel :-*  Enjoy it, it's costing me 40 quid.....
