Needs a tie breaker

Well done Ant/Damo.

deeman · « **Reply #54 on:** May 11, 2016, 11:13 PM »

Wow....what a close call it was this month! I am surprised to say the least!

Thanks to everyone who voted for my bike.

Well done to Ant and everyone else who entered...I still reckon the RL should have won

Dammit, I knew I should have voted for my own bike...just didn't feel it was a gentlemanly thing to do!

NORTY40 · « **Reply #55 on:** May 11, 2016, 11:20 PM »

Wow ! That was close

Congratulations to Ant and Damo

and well done to everyone else , great standard yet again

Well done Damo and Ant. 2 great builds there, and some great entries from other radsters too

2 of my votes went to freestyle bikes this month, which shows the quality of the builds as i usually lean towards race bikes.

Mikku · « **Reply #57 on:** May 12, 2016, 12:17 PM »

Yeah, congrats guys - 2 worthy winners in another great BOTM! & a big thanks to those who voted for my lean, green, racing machine!

Good job you never or you would have been hounded for 'cheating' (but then again, no comment was made when it was done in Jan and Feb

)

wilsey72 · « **Reply #61 on:** May 13, 2016, 12:18 PM »

I don't think its frowned upon unless you vote for your own 17 times.

Wish you had voted for me this time and I'd have been an outright winner!!

Who says they haven't !!!

Anyway, the alleged '17 votes' were in respect of my voting and I have never voted for 'my own bike'. This figure is actually going back as far as 'the big crash in 2013' up until BOTY 2015 (over 2 1/2 years and was not even 17) - I expect there are plenty of people on here who have cast as many votes in just 4 or 5 months !

Picklez · « **Reply #67 on:** May 13, 2016, 10:59 PM »

well done guys. top builds as always

Only voted for 2 this month, should've used my third and there'd have been a threesome

At risk of starting a sh1t storm, can we cut the 17 votes bollox now? We're all getting older, it's not the 80's or the school playground, lets just put it behind us and move on. It feels like the museum nowadays when this crap comes up. Just came off the museum because there's some guy on there "flucking this and flucking that" moaning about a certain race/country - for crying out loud

. I've been on this site (admittedly in the background) since god knows when, think it had a blue & white colour scheme when i first came on here (?). IMHO it used to be about the love of the bikes, sharing knowledge, helping like minded radsters out, buying/selling a few parts at sensible prices, and drooling over each others builds. Nowadays it seems like you've got to be in some 'in crowd' or b1tch and whine to post, with a focus of getting a post count up to look cool.
Remember guys, it's a bmx forum, always been the coolest, but in serious danger of ... well, who knows. it's meant to be fun. people do what they do, get called out if in the wrong, and live with it. lets move on, pretty please. why can't we get back to killing sea gulls, posting funny sh1t that makes you chuckle when you read it, and just appreciating other enthusiasts hard work, attention to detail, and dedication to a common hobby.

Don't know about others, but it's why i can't be bothered too much any longer. Mind you, sounds like face space is even worse, thank thick i don't bother with all that.

Sorry if this offends, b1tch & moan at me & slate me if you like, i won't retort, or care, life's too short (see, now that's funny - fooking auto correct

).

Enjoy your weekend guys, try not to stress too much

Now, whilst I've got your attention, if anyones got a mint SG2 I've got cash waiting -

Well Wanted Section won't be worth a try - oops!

CustardLips · « **Reply #68 on:** May 13, 2016, 11:13 PM »

Couldn't agree more.

factory pilot · « **Reply #69 on:** May 13, 2016, 11:33 PM »

I know it must seem that there is an "in crowd" to newbies or older rad members who return every now and then.
I felt the same way when I joined many years ago.
The banter which may seem as off putting to some members has come from many like minded people who've now met up many times over several years, over many rides and MKs and have been lucky enough to become some great friends.
I hate the idea of Rad being 'us' and 'them'... It's a great place for our hobby .. Not as transient or as showy offy as FB can be.
I for one want Rad to flourish and grow and continue for many years to come.

Wining BOTM means a lot to me. I find it really humbling.
I wouldn't want to win just because my mates voted for me. That would be empty and meaningless.
It's the thought that passionate, knowledgable enthusiasts have enjoyed my bike and build enough to vote for it that does it for me.
The comments I get from mates and strangers alike mean a lot to me.
That doesn't mean I'm here for validation .. It's an added bonus and a previlidge.

Fair play FP, and couldn't agree more:

Even if I got fed up with some of the poorer aspects and left it all alone I'd still leave my SS fee dd running to support it. And yes, MK's great, & I've been fortunate enough to make contact with some great guys on here over the years

Statements like this will do you no favours then Ant.

Thought it was a little inappropriate when you first posted it tbh mate. Perhaps a little more thought should be applied when discussing voting what at the minute (judging by the last few posts at least) is still quite a raw subject. $:-\$

Which in my opinion is water under the bridge btw and definitely time to move on.

factory pilot · « **Reply #72 on:** May 14, 2016, 12:36 AM »

Fair point Nick ... And out of context it doesn't look right or good .. A naive comment for sure on my part and apologies all round to all involved in this months competition.
I have many friends on here , I'd like to think I include you in that list Nick.
I've voted for several of your builds in BOTM over the years ... Not because you were a mate but because I really liked your bikes and thought they deserved to win.

Just looking at it from an outsiders point if view mate that's all. I know and am friends with both you and Tony and know there's nothing untoward going on but others might not... or is cos I'm pissed.

factory pilot · « **Reply #74 on:** May 14, 2016, 12:59 AM »

Totally agree Nick

A little pissed myself
