I still think and vote for midschool is from 1990 till 2000 but IMO
So if decades wins is the WHOLE site going to be reorganised?
I don't understand this 2 years either way.2 year of flexibility to accommodate exceptions what a fookin load of bollocksIt's either mid school or not NO exceptions
I get where you're coming from G, but re-reading and taking in some of the input in the debate thread it makes sense (and the thread changed my opinion by the end of it). You can't lump a Mad Dog or mid style Revcore in the same section as say for instance a stock FST or Streetbeat (not that I'm saying they're stock bikes because we all build em different ) from the same years. We put a name to eras in essence to define a way of thinking/tech (if that doesn't sound too up it's own 'arris) that cropped up for that era of BMX. The way we list stuff has to have a 'numeric/periodic value' if you like in order to list it, and in order to preserve that (and the eras) in my changed opinion the above poll covers all bases.I think the above gives everyone a good scale that preserves Vintage/Old/Mid/New and the community in the separate sections on the site that has run well for years. Adding to that it gives the option for the sections to be divided into decades.Whatever is decided in the poll, I reckon the RAD result will be seen as a way to define stuff for BMX forums/S&S etc for a while to come Fook me that was waffley - and I'm stone cold sober this time round

Just to add to the above - these two frames are both from '88 - one is deffo Old School, and the other is deffo Mid School (sorry for the pic stealing Rob ):1988 Streetbeat:1988 Mad Dog:Sorry if I'm conveluting the poll - delete if it's getting in the way
