Agreed on both counts there gents. I always try to post on everybody's builds regardless of what it is, Burner to VDC. All builds are created by the vision of the owner and what may look un-agreeable to some, will float someone else's' boat but, variety is the spice of life and each one deserves a contribution and applause There is always the chat box that no-one uses. Nothing like live banter too
I think this post isn't going to win me any friends...In the past few years that i've been on RAD i've witnessed the site slowly derail. Before it fell over I was noticing that the majority of posts had nothing to do with BMX, it was either babe of the day or "my worst shag" and other unrelated bollocks, worse was the proliferation of opinionated posts littered with negativity and hatred - i'm not for a second criticising peoples opinions but none of it I would describe as RAD and certainly not fun. Personally I come on here to enjoy myself and to escape into the hobby however, most of what gets posted is irrelevant.Myself and a few others have started to populate the new site with our old builds or photos showing various parts which is great, if more people joined in then it would stimulate more interest, but you have to stoke a fire to make it burn, not just sit there and hope it'll happen.The other thing i've noticed is that i've had PMs from newer members asking for advice on parts and prices as they're too afraid to list a part in case they get shot down in flames by some of the long term members (of which i'm not) - that isn't healthy. We have to remember that we all started somewhere and arrogance will certainly not energise this hobby - more kill it.If someone builds a bike, celebrate the effort don't pick holes in it. We learn and refine as we go, but thats motivated via encouragement and improved with the knowledge of others. Knowledge is a gift that should be shared, not a throne to sit on.So people share your builds, list your parts in the threads be it a Dicta freewheel or 1st Gen Campy Skyways, lets give those guys over on the Museum a run for their money!
Not worth getting your knickers in a twist over.........Christ you should give single track world a look, people ask pathetic questions like......what coloured frame goes best with white forks! I kid you not.
Why is Rad so dead these days? I see so many members and guests logged on but not much happening. There's a handful of people making posts etc etc and even BOTM was a bit of a let down, IMO (not build wise but the amount of entries) I know MK is around the corner but it has never been this quiet. Is it money? Do people not have it anymore and feel staying away from here helps them to not get pulled into buying something??Even the Museum and RB has quietened down with Rewind becoming virtually non existent What's your opinions guys
