It's taken from the MK show n shine cards that have been used for the past 4 years i believe.

everyone has their own thoughts on when one ends and another begins, but i believe these were lifted from the US somewhere by stodgy a long time ago.

Hehe i was more worried about all my 87 freestylers

Just interested thats all as I would have never classed an 87 or 88 as mid school. for me it's would be more when 1 1/8 headsets came in second generation gyro's & alike really ...

1990 will always be mid school in my eyes

steve69 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 18, 2013, 09:44 PM »

it's easier to think of them as decades but it's not. i'd go with the a-head =mid argument.

but my confusion comes with new school... if it's 2000 on, when will New become Old and what is the New New gonna be called when New is Old

meticulous · « **Reply #12 on:** June 18, 2013, 09:45 PM »

surely everything after 1987 should be classed as new school...

dordymush · « **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2013, 04:09 PM »

stodgy needs a kick in the nuts then as half my s&m bikes are classed as new school now

90 to 2000 in my eyes too.

senzo milano · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2013, 04:19 PM »

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.

In all seriousness as Rob said it is the same dates we have used for the S&S categories at MK since we began this site.

neil · « **Reply #20 on:** June 19, 2013, 05:58 PM »

Wouldn't it be Easter to just call the section "mid school"

pickle · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2013, 06:10 PM »

No it would be easier to leave it as it is

But seriously, without dates people get confused.......the dates are the ones used for MK sns for the last 6 years

stidds · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2013, 06:12 PM »

Easier to stop moaning about it to be honest, you may think I am grumpy but honestly we (admin) have so many more important things to be working on at the moment than worrying or even thinking about a stupid date.
