***BMX FACTOR - 2017 - ENTRANTS***

[Retrodan72]

So, back after a few years absence, we are having a competition to find which BMX had the biggest X Factor for 2017.

What to do: You need to think long and hard about the best bike you've seen. It could be a bike built years ago, it could be something you saw at MK17, it could be one of your bikes, it doesn't matter.

Search through the previous BOTM entries, the Museum and Me & My Bikes sections on here, anywhere really that has pics of bikes.

IMPORTANT BIT: Each person gets only ONE choice to nominate one bike. It MUST have a picture and a description of the make, model and year of production. If you can add the name of the owner then this would be great too as I'd like to ensure that they get the recognition.

It's really as simple as that.

If anyone wants to play but can't upload pics, then PM me and I'll upload on your behalf.

I'll leave this thread open for one week to add entries, then a Mod will lock it and I'll set a voting poll up. Half the bikes with the most votes will go through to the next round.

THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT: THIS IS JUST FOR A BIT OF FUN.

Be careful, last time I put on what I thought was my thinking cap I ended up in Slytherin!

I’ve never entered this into bike of the month, and i’ve sadly now sold it. I’ll throw it in anyway. 1985 gjs freestyler.

[In2bmx]

Just because it’s different and Crazy .

Still can’t make my mind up it’s a bmx 
But it’s won a BOTM .

Can I put my Haro in ? I’ve changed the cable , Lever and dust caps since last December 

[john4130]

thanks chubby for the nomination, for me i would nominate SDF and his 86-88 gt anarchy build. loved this bike.

[Retrodan72]

5 bikes is a good start and the freestyler flag is certainly waving currently.

[cheeta]

Why only one bike, you can have groups on Xfactor so I am throwing in a curve ball, a boy band 

5 bikes in one pic, these 5

Lot of hard work planning, preparing and packing, all 5 sailed around Nice and Monaco for 4 days, no breakdowns or faults, the ulimate ride out, riding around Monaco GP circuit, no carpet queens here

dancetothedrumofthebeat - 1985 MT Racing The Fox
Torkerdude180 - 1982 Torker LP
factory pilot - 1985 Skyway Street Beat
Bigbadsam - 1983 Torker 280x
cheeta - Repop SE Racing PK Ripper

 




if any bmx's of this year had any xfactor it was these bmx's

[Spen69]

Easy for me this one-  Gra_Goose's 83 survivor Pro Class. Awesome bike and all I wanted as a lad (well, only until I saw my first minge and then I forgot all about BMX of course!)

There have been a number of bikes that stand out to me, but one that always springs to mind is Souther Andys Zeronine XL. I remember seeing it displayed at MK with the matching race kit, and for me it was head and shoulders above everything else at the event. It has been etched into my brain ever since.

Good choice Jon, I remember the display too.

[DazA]

this is the bike that sprung to mind when I first read this thread. Although looking through the botm's this year I could have chose probably 20! [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

OMG this is going to be difficult!! So can I just clarify (to help my brain get into gear) that it must be a bike that we've seen for the first time this year?

No, have a look at the 1st post Mick.

Any bike
Any year
Any era
Any builder
