As I said though you will get issues with (for example) and 89 Auburn being judged in S&S against a 1980 Cook Bros, Torker etc which will get people moaning.I just want everybody to be on the same side and singing from the same song sheet.
at last - dord's order, invented in a flash of genius by a man apparently with the name dordymunch, and observed and analysed by bmxologist Rod Rodruigez, finally gets the recognition it deserves! or we could change the categories every year ..... to keep the topic alive lol

So that would be the way I set the sections up initially when we launched the new site and people moaned about eh? Fooking Dord's order my arse.

There is no rush and no time limit, I just want this sorted and after that we can all sit back and
I agree with gish, 89 - 99 for forum ballparking. Show n shine should be down to the individual deciding what class they think their bike fits best to, an 88 GT same model as a 91 GT should be judged as mid. Common sense and knowledge should prevail when entering or judging any completion, a couple of years either way if the models are the same as older or newer dates should be irrelevant, we all should know what we are looking at
