right im just wondering why you old schoolers seem to hate us new schoolers ... or atleast it seems that way to me ?

Didn't know that we did, most of us on here ride new school bikes anyway.

It is just that old school is what we love as we are old (except for Zak but he is an oldschooler in a young body).

Dan's proper got one on your there eh?

Just ride mate, don't worry about anyone else. Pretty much the only thing that winds oldschoolers up is n/s fashion I think. That and maybe a lack of history....

I'm old as hell but don't have a problem with anyone, any age unless they have a problem themselves y'know? If you're going up to these lads and asking them why they have so many brakes, or why is their seat up, then you're going to get some attitude back most likely.

I don't hate new schoolers at all, I actually consider myself one, I'm just 38 and don't wear tight jeans.

most younger new school riders I meet are actually pretty cool, I've been there at the skate park, the only dude with zero tricks
and those new schoolers are happy for me to take my turn just rolling in and popping out of the mini ramp.

ok, I think their fashion is a bit wacko, don't like the way the have their bikes set up, but I don't hate them, it's all riding and it's all good.

I was on the vert at creation the other day and this ns rider was asking if I rode bitd and how he knew 'cause I had more pads on than robocop... He was ok and we got on fine but then he rode the ramp and got 6'+ out one handed ect sraight away. Now I hate him.

Only joking. I dont hate ns I just think it would be nice if they had an understanding of the history.I was doin' a fakie to roll back to 540 out and someone called it something (cant remember what) that was defo not what it was called bitd... I must say tho'- I find the 'jeans down the arse and the pants showin' a bit daft.

i hate them, and i hate the bikes, should all fook off.....

just kidding ya!!!!

i think you might have rubbed someone up the wrong way, because as long as you take an interest in the original bikes (this is an old school website) you will be rewarded with friendly banter....

i dont understand why anyone, particularly an older rider, would give a new schooler attitude whilst having a chat( usually the other way round), unless, you were being disrespectful in tone, agressive, intimidating, or smelled.

lets face it, some of you look like you need a good wash eh?

pickle · « **Reply #12 on:** October 18, 2009, 09:00 AM »

like everyone else has said already....I love NS as much as the old, how you guys manage to
Pull some of those tricks just amaze me!

But I don't think I've had any attitude as such back, some kids I meet at the local park always get
Blasted with. "Why don't you have any brakes?" As they ride worst than me!! Fooking dangerous!

But once I've explained that I can't do a tailwhip, or a backflip and no I can't go over the spine. We get
Along just fine. I even let them have a go on my bike

i dont hate new skoolers total respect for the tricks they can pull some are just fookin crazy the only thing i dont like is the bikes, maybe its me but they just dont look like bmx`s to me like the old school ones

If you're a twat you're a twat. Old, new, black, white, fat, thin, a twat is a twat.

spot on

some younger n/s riders don't appreciate that they are not the first peeps to be doin what they do, give em 20 odd years n see how they feel about past n present, bet they like alot more than they do now

sweetbeats · « **Reply #16 on:** October 18, 2009, 10:31 AM »

In any sport I think to fully be part of it you need to have an understanding of the history,to me the majority of kids I see out do not know the first thing about the roots of bmx or its founding fathers in both freestyle and race so to me that is weird,short sighted and historically blinded.

Personally I think 80% of newschool bikes are dull,however technically advanced,strong, cutting edge etc they are and just don't have the same sex appeal as an old school bike does.
I do watch new school videos when they are posted on here and the progression in riding is amazing,stuff that is being done today is worlds apart from the freestyle of old and I appreciate the pushing of bmx boundries as much as the next man.

I don't hate anyone new school,or hate the bikes....I just like my mid 80's stuff much more and can't see me ever loving a bmx that is a day older older than 1985.

"this ns rider was asking if I rode bitd and how he knew 'cause I had more pads on than robocop..."

nice one voodoo , thats because we don't bounce like them young uns

, i don't think anyone on here hates the ns guys i think they just don't get the banter , its cool getting advice off the ns guys down the spark or track

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2009, 10:54 AM »

kids seem to know alot more about the history than they get credit for, they just couldn't give a fook about it, bit like me and the early history of F1, i couldnt give a fook about it either, but, they are jealous of kids that get to go riding with there dads, how many kids get to do there hobby with the old fella, i never did

sweetbeats · « **Reply #19 on:** October 18, 2009, 11:00 AM »

Yeah couldn't see my dad on a bmx,a penny farthing is more his bag

On the history thing I have bumped into loads of lads on new school bikes-non knew who Bob Haro was,had heard of skyway etc

Fooking liar, all your jeans are tight; even the baggy ones

Back to the question; I don't know that this is true a lot of us ride new school albeit badly but some still shred. Maybe you've been unlucky in who you have met or have just caught people on a bad day. One thing maybe that old schoolers ride Haro's and other makes that have "sold out" in the eyes of new schoolers or even that new schoolers don't even know the history and heritage of BMX and that these old makes were actually the market leaders, rider owned, etc.

sweetbeats · « **Reply #22 on:** October 18, 2009, 11:36 AM »

I just love the visuals of old school...the factory kits covered in sponsors patches,the great looking bikes,old pictures of british kids doing endos next to ford escorts etc

Moving on it just seems the beauty has gone...and the pants round the arse thing is just not a good look and is better suited to young emo boys that are still undecided weather they are batting for the homeside or batting away

Each to their own though
