I think we should have a S&S category for new school bikes also.  I know we have a retro class, but a category dedicated to new school race and freestyle bikes.

After this years line up I think we should maybe have a 'Custom Old School Class'.

There were some beautiful bikes in the the S'n'S this year that were first class in their own rights but failed to medal because they had custom modifications to them that weren't old school mods.

I also think we could do with a Custom class, bmx & non bmx related, as there seems quite a few people here are customising bikes other than bmx's now.

I thought the Lance length was 3 times the persons height    So how do you expect to win using a broom handle ?

Sounds cool, the more bikes the merrier

I'd go along with this. I also think that there were lots of bikes that looked excellent, but didn't stand a chance of winning anything as they didn't conform strictly to traditional old school rules/factory specs. I know all skyway t/a's are technically custom builds as there was never a complete bike, but there seems to be a generally accepted view of what parts are acceptable to include on the build.

Very good idea Dan 

[pickle]

the hardest part though is policing/grouping these 'custom bikes'  what makes a bike a custom?  a TA as already stated was only sold as a F+F so in a sense they are all custom? 

by having groups by year it is much easier to catagorise them.   

Do you have a 'custom' group for each catagory?  that way you'll have bloody loads of them

[diesel]

I was thinking more on the lines of an anything goes

Custom Rides - BMX or not (to include modern modifications, non factory colours, low-riders etc. etc. etc.)

really anything that otherwise doesn't fall into any of the present categories but has 2 pedals some wheels and a chain drive....

Please don't take this as a criticism, we loved every minute of it but...
I thought the racing clashed a bit with the show & shine on Sunday and there wasn't really enough time to see the awarded bikes.
I don't know if they'd be time for this but maybe the judging could be done Sunday morning and awards given out before the racing starts??
This could give people more time to see the winning bikes and focus on the racing. Maybe a S&S winners enclosure as well....
It's just a thought like

[kungfunky]

^^ good idea that Paul, although pretty much everyone's still trashed Sunday morning    Be nice then to have all the winning bikes lined up together

As one of the S&S organisers and judges from last year (and I don't take your comments as a critism in any way), I can tell you the reasons why it isn't possible to get all the S&S done in the morning.

Firstly we have to get everybody to register their bikes (pre-reg doesn't work, we have tried), this took about 3 hours at MK12.  Trouble is as most people have been drinking (heavily) on Saturday night and were not registering anything until the last moment (I even let registration run for an extra 30 mins due to the amounts of semi-p*ssed people wanting to register late).

It then seems to take ages for the people to get their bikes ready to bring to the S&S tent, we also had to organise everybody's bikes which took another 1-2 hours.

Then we had to judge the bikes, which took the 4 judges about 1 1/2 hours to go around all of the bikes.  Then the judges had to pow-wow to work out the winners and places in each section.  We then had to get the results to the announcer, which as soon as we did the results were announced, it was that close to running over time.

I can honestly say that I didn't stop running around from about 8am until the S&S was announced at 3.30pm.

It is virtually impossible to get it done any quicker as there are so many bikes to register, show, judge and announce.
