I've seen and been invited to many pages on FB.. I have a look a then jogged on.. But some of the shit and drivel that's said is beyond me..
I think most haven't even had a Bmx back in the day!!? Well from their interpretation I don't think they have😳
It could put me off the whole thing, but I'm trying not to let that happen!! As long as those kinda sad fooks stay away from me! I'm happy😁
Even saying it saved my life being a part of this Bmx crew, what a load of wank... Embarrassing is more the word..

Lol
Why would you put a fried egg on a seat , to be fair that is pretty weird in itself.

I seem to be missing out on all of this.

Thank fook.

I saved my life by taking a deep breath and having two 'man the fook up' pills and cracking on!

Too many BMX pages with too many muppets building clown bikes on FB. Fortunately me and my bikes fit right in !

ORANGEZIPPY · « **Reply #8 on:** June 12, 2015, 08:25 AM »

For me, Life seems to go to fast enough without wasting time on FB.
Proud to say never logged on it, but I guess it has its place for some.
Much prefer forums for the harder core.

Faceache in general is a waste of space! more suited for people without real lives to lead.... posting endless cr@p! Seems that everyone who's banned from this superb forum or any other bmx forum is on Faceache cos that's the only place they can haunt....then there's the 2 or 3 biggest 'splitters' of old school bmx (we all know who they are lol) peddling there over priced parts to their captive faceache community!!

pickle · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2015, 08:44 AM »

Don't know what you're on about John, there's proper quality 'custom' builds on there

it's a whole world of braced laybacks, upside down seat guts and bars so far forward they touch the forks! love it

kungfunky · « **Reply #11 on:** June 12, 2015, 08:46 AM »

And let's not forget you can see your face in every part Rob

pickle · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2015, 08:47 AM »

it's part of the reason i'm not in on it Ash, no fooker wants to see my face in anything

it's the clown bikes that make me think they never had a bike...
I think this is how it works for many..
One day for some mad reason you think of building a Bmx that reminds of your youth or you've never been away from it.
So how the fook do they come up with these concoctions?
I actually don't think it's that cool, more just fond memories and like minded people. And they just think it's cool to ride the streets shouting Oi Oi to any passer by 😳

Two reasons John.

Firstly, they are the people who you used to see back then that just rolled around the streets and had a, well, some sort of BMX. The best they could do was to jump off a kerb, nearly killing themselves in the process. You can tell who they are by just looking at the bars sitting on their front tyres

Secondly, they now want to build a BMX but, when they start looking at the prices of parts, they turn to the repop junk on Ebay etc. The style of the bikes coincides with their style of BMX'ing back then........SH!TE!

Me too! if fb is so shite....then foooking stay away from it, stop trading parts on there, come back and use the forum.....but not to tell us how shite fb is

and by the way.....did you know the facebook app for your smartyphones is able to 1.change the content of your text messages 2. turn your camera and mic on at any time to record 3. change the content of your contacts list and you silly fookers have agreed to it!

The whole demonisation of the "splitters" you are refering to originated from disputes on the Burner forums and is totally irrelevant now (was then too), the "splitters" are banned and their detractors are nowhere to be seen.

A lot of the parts in the For Sale section are sold by a fellas in Europe and the US who split bikes, nothing wrong with that IMHO, parts have to come from somewhere, should they be banned?

Probably the biggest "splitter" in the UK scene is a member of this forum, nothing wrong with that either IMHO.

Quite a few parts are sniped on here and ebayed, not so sure about this.

I prefer the forum format to facebook for many of the reasons already stated (although not all), BOTM, the reference section and build threads by the likes of Ed209 GnarlyScoots, Retrodan and Gary72 (sorry if I've left anyone out) are always worth a look.

Hopefully RAD will ride out the current lull but a forum is only as good as members make it.

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2015, 12:39 PM »

It's not just FB, other forums have their :bellend:s too. Like another bmx forum I used to frequent, it's now been run into the ground by egomaniacs.

Keep it

, keep it proper.

I actually quite enjoy FaceBook

I can keep up with my family who live all over the world , and I have a business page that we get work off ..

As for the 10000000000 of BMX pages ( too many ) I'm only a member of 3 ..

There is always the option to block people (

's ) or turn off notifications

Pooch · « **Reply #20 on:** June 12, 2015, 02:31 PM »

I'm a member of 2.. Rad because Rad created it when it was down and the Hutch owners group of which is a cracking page.. But that doesn't stop me from getting invited or added to others of which I look at and then leave and they are shit and I can come on here and tell you..

Updated.. I've always stood by Radbmx.. It's my mothership of Bmx..

Gotta be honest I'm in it for the meets and that's pretty much it, mine may be some of the clown bikes you refer too, but for me they are a means to get from one pub to another, if tomorrow we had the same meets and you lot were there but we were walking I'd still go for me the bikes are secondary to the banter you idiots give, glad I started back into building bikes not coz of what I have but who I've met, hope when we to old to ride we still keep in touch

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #22 on:** June 12, 2015, 04:42 PM »

Binned the radbmx one off after see some builds, lost the love after seeing them, but kept the hutch one on

Clown bikes have been around forever, on the bmxmuseum long before the facebook pages.
