UKoldschool, there's a place for fundamentalist old school bmxers that spend their entire time ranting about everthing and they've a jihad on repops, it's called the bmx society, maybe you should give it a look

You know what i think this place is great cos of all the different parts used on different bike - that's the cool sh!t

and the other thing i like is, that we know not to run our mouths like we are god almighty and make ourselves look like a c0ck

ukoldschool i guess we would have liked you if you didn't run yer mouth like a Cnut

the thread idea has brought out some good bits - but sadly none of what you have said

toll jog on - la la la

I must say that the cheap builds are definately the 'in thing' these days, I think the oldschool BMX scene in the UK has gone away from the pristine and expensive parts and has landed firmly in the 'build what you had as a kid' instead of the 'build what you always dreamed of'.

I have quite a few bikes, DeCoster, Slingshot, Champion etc etc but my 2 favourites are my Scorpion and my Yamaha. Both were well cheap to buy and also to rebuild again, but they remind me of a long time ago when the summers always seemed to be hot and sunny and me and my mates used to bomb around the neighbourhood without a care in the world.

when we all went on the "wetting the babies head" London ride - it was bloody great - why cos nobody cared what yer rode or how it was put together and with what - yes there were some nice top bikes, but it was the ride and being a part of a gang for the day - the amount you spent on the bike didn't mean sh!t that day - just good old 80's fashion fun

Bang on, now I have got my original bike restored as It was when I was a kid ( cost my dad £325 BITD) I love rolling around on it with my mates, my kids and their kids, massive grins all round and I enjoyed doing the DP, still cost a few quid to do though

Pissed myself reading this lot you nutters

I personally couldn't give a rat's ass what you lot think of my alloy-cranks and single-pinch 90's cranks and new school tyres and new-school drivetrains, I fookin ride them all properly and enjoy every one of them

I fookin hate NOS parts bolted onto a NOS frame that cost a small fortune - a bit of resto yourself here and there, a bit of blast & powder and a bit of imagination and thought and that gets my vote everytime. If you put a cheap part on I don't care as long as you put some soul into it

Nuff said
