I started with toys r us bikes and im working my way up, got a really nice goose race bike at the moment, that i fell out of love with, then rode it at blackpool and loved it all over again, and recently ive scored a freestyler, and to be honest thats about me done, I have a freestyler, a race bike, a new school, and a couple of toys r us / woolworths specials and i think thats me done [he says] Ive got a bit of everything, and all riders

There is only one true BMX type of bike and thats the Freestyler

Race bikes race, Freestylers do it all

Take the Torker, freestyler but also race bike

BMX is racing

Always been a race bike for me.

Raced in 80's and 90's so it's in my blood.

There are a few freestyle builds on the the wish list though.

i know

78 views and only 13 votes. so took the time to read but couldnt be arsed to click a box

was just curious tbh as i like all bmx but prefer freestyle types

As iconic as some freestylers are,I would say it's race for me,but it's all in the name BMX,bicycle moto cross
I will always think of racing as the first step
thing is though whichever way the vote goes,it will probably fook up BOTM,if you get me drift

freestyler for me, i,ve been riding freestyle for nearly 30 years and have 2 new school riders. i've never raced but i've got 2 pk rippers an ammaco 202 and i'm currently building a race inc ra7. bitd i would use any bike for freestyle as long as it was cheap enough. it would normally be a second hand race bike was all i could get my hands on.

dordymush · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:16 PM »

race bikes for me now although my first proper builds years ago were streetbeats.

stu27 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:28 PM »

Dave,here's me drift,with all that happened in the last BOTM,whichever way the vote goes,may make some people,with a non winning category bike,think they won't win because it's a race/freestyler

Spen69 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:59 PM »

Can't vote Dave - love riding my freestylers, love looking at my race biks

Put a "love them both" tick box and that's where most of us will be. except for that fookin' loon Costa

brummie · « **Reply #24 on:** June 15, 2011, 12:10 AM »
