Who decided Mid school started in 87 ??? Surely not..... 89-90 at least ??

[meticulous]

gotta ask yourself when did 'old school' END, then you have your answer,  surely mid school would have started straight after unless there was a void.

As I quoted earlier in the thread us, vintage and society all use roughly the same date 87 or 88, so that is what we will keep.

When Freeagent introduced the Pro xl every thing changed. The blue print for all modern frames. 21" top tube 74 deg head angle...  1986. Re stickered by the pros, copied by many.

 

Gives me an excuse for a pic

for me the last year of old school was 86 after that bmx died a death.that summer of 86 everybody was still mad for it,we spent all summer long out on our bikes but by the time we'd gone back to school after the summer jollies bmx just didn't feel the same anymore.by chirstmas that year it seemed all my mates we looking to get mountain bikes,by summer of 87 everybody had got rid of their bmx's altogether and those that still had them had no interest in the'buzz' that was bmx in previous years.ive seen quite a few peeps here and across the pond that have the exact same opinion in this,that bmx died at the end of 86.

This rings true for me too, accept i left school in 86 and started boozing early. Even though i only swapped my DB in 87 i'd pretty much done riding it and swiftly moved on to my first car.
I still consider mid school from 90 on wards, and as for new school goes you can stuck them up your ar5e

by 1988 i was screaming around army traing areas in germany in a tank so had pretty much lost contact with what was happening on the scene, but prior to that the bikes pretty much were as they had been for the previous few years so i would group them together as old school. my 91 gt is still inch headset and caliper bracks but is longer and has a better head angle as does my 89 assassin so thease i would class as a new generation of bike. so i would agree with the 88ish date for midschool for these reasons.

[meticulous]

the end!

[GavinDavis]

Steve.....on that note you should just sell me that cheapy pink midschool GT in the pic 

[awkward]

Mid School started in the 90's imho.

[Pooch]

And it's back😂😂😂😂😂😂

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

89/90 for me

[Gish]

89 - 94 for me
Then everything after that is classed as a boat anchor     

[awkward]

Mid for me started to creep in as soon as riders beefed up their bikes to accommodate the new demands of "Street" riding circa 89, but was in full swing by 93/94.
