as it all went tits up i thought it only appropriate to say where i stend firmly on newschool kids,

i fookin hate nancy shagging hairstyles

i fookin hate kids wearing their sisters jeans

i fookin hate kids riding in t shirts that you can see the belly button

i don't get on with mile wide bars

i can't respect tailwhips as much as i did in 1997 (even though i still haven't learnt them)

and wheres all the style and flow gone?!

i fookin hate nancy shagging hairstyles ( 80S MULLETS

, 90S CURTAINS

ITS ALL RELATIVE AND A SIGN OF THE TIMES )

i fookin hate kids wearing their sisters jeans ( NOTHING WRONG WITH A SIZE 10 , BETTER THAN THE 40S PEOPLE WERE WEARING 10 YEARS AGO " AHHH MY JEANS ARE CAUGHT IN THE CHAIN ")

i fookin hate kids riding in t shirts that you can see the belly button

i don't get on with mile wide bars ( 80S

)

i can't respect tailwhips as much as i did in 1997 (even though i still haven't learnt them) I HAVNT LEARNT THEM EITHER GRRRR

and wheres all the style and flow gone?! THERES LOADS OF FLOW AND STYLE COMING FROM A MORE SKATE GENERATION , HOWEVER WITH A DWINDERLING TRAIL SCENE IT LOOKS A LOT MORE "FORCED" BUT THESE KIDS CAN LINK MORE STUFF THAN WE COULD BACK WHEN

my main gripe as ever is with them expecting to be handed everything , no more digging in the woods for days on end , no more spending more money on parts than on food and clothes but most of all a disasociation to the riding from bmx past , an ignorance to alexs catch phrase " nothings new " but we have ourselves to blame for letting the media constantly try and sell the latest "colourway" of an already ok part to the kid that just wants to look cool for the weekend

it is us that needs to show this lot that "light" isnt new , that fashion comes and goes and that all these tricks were done 20 years ago by a generation all but forgotten by bmx main media

long live "newschool" but lets not let them forget oldschool

Every rider was a New Schooler at some point, even if the terminology was different. No doubt in 10 years time, the new schoolers of today will be bitching about some of the riding and styles of the kids then. BMX changes and evolves and although some might not relate to certain aspects of NS, no one can really say it's wrong.

I think people need to show more love sometimes.... It's all bikes.

Lazarou · « **Reply #7 on:** February 24, 2008, 08:29 PM »

I'm indifferent to the bikes and the riding it's the Emo Fag look i can't get past.

perry · « **Reply #8 on:** February 24, 2008, 08:44 PM »

"Emo Fag look "

looks no different to the new romantics of the 80s to me

i cant think of the 90s equivalent though $:-\$

Philbert · « **Reply #9 on:** February 24, 2008, 08:50 PM »

I'm just glad to hear of any kids riding today. Most kids here are fat assed video game playing fools. They don't go outside for anything, except maybe mcdonalds.

But I dont get the tight pants/no seat post thing either.

there's a lot to be said about what TwoBobRob said about being able to walk before you can run.

I remember in the early 90's, kids were getting BMX's and the first thing they were learing was hitchhikers (basically the first difficult rolling trick for which the majority of modern flatland is based around) and yet they couldn't do the basic hopping or balancing tricks.

A year or so ago, I rode with this absolutely awesome rider. He could pull flairs, whips etc. He even done a front flip whip (I believe this was even before Scotty Cranmer did them), yet this guy would struggle doing a basic rollback.
