To be honest at this rate I will be doing one of two things with the midschool section... 1) keep it as it is and delete any mention of date and era in the future with no notice or apology or 2) delete the whole section and call everything old school.At present I am leaning toward option 2.
rod, i don't get why it would be ruined.....You said "Old school didn't stop in 86,"golden age" of BMX finished in the UK around 86 but old school carried on, I'm 44 this year it stopped for me around 86/87, my brother is 40 it stopped for him around 89/90."...so it can't really be the change that those '87-'89 bikes that would in future be counted into an OS section, that would ruin it for you...? .....or is it more those '00-02 bikes that would be 'NS' in the future that would ruin it? OK, that would be 3 years missing, 3 years of bikes that in your account should continuously be counted into MS..?I don't think the whole section will be reorganised, rather only the dates in the header changed, so that the final difference would be for you that those 3 years would have to looked for in another folder........ hey, cmon
Rod, but before you opted more for a 90ish MS starting date..... Or was that only for the S&S....?If its only the finding of one's bike .......i'm not sure if the mods will be arsed to reallocate all past entries anyway...... then it surely wouldn't be THE problem.
Here is the definitive ANSWER, no ifs buts maybes...I HAVE THE SOLUTION TO THIS CRISIS.....1987-1990: bikes possessing 1 or more of the following will be categorised "Mid School":-S&M badge-Dropouts 4mm or thicker-BashguardI'd imagine few members, myself included, actually know how much work the whole thing requires, nor what resources are actually available so it's difficult to offer help...but I reckon some leeway is needed
Can I suggest a vote off.Have one vote off for the start year. I suggest the years 88,89,90Have another vote off for the finish year. I suggest the years 2002, 2003, 2004.There will always be debate by the masses But Sean is trying to get a line in the sand and needs Again I believe there will always be overlap periods. You could start Mid at 89 and finish Old at 89 and let the owner decide where they post it/send it for judging

Surely that's because freestyle bikes dominated the scene during the mid-school years so by your own logic as they were ridden by the majority thats what should be used as a benchmark for the section.

Lets not further dissolve the debate into a race/freestyle discussion.Re-read now I'm sober what I posted earlier. Still sort of makes sense.Personally just fook off the dates for the sections - people know what goes were ffs - there's bikes that are cross-over no matter what date you put on an imagined period for bmx. You either drop the whole 'school' thing and divide by decades or drop the dates for the periods. None of this voting on was it 87,88,89 or 90 ffs.
How would re-pop parts on an old school frame set be defined?
