***BMXFACTOR - 2018*** - Entries.

[Retrodan72]

So, here it is, the highlight of the BMX calendar (much better than that little MK meet IMO).

All you need to do at this stage is think hard about a BMX you’ve seen that has proper outstanding BMX factor, a bike that stops shows, drops jaws and is worthy of walking off with the BMXFACTOR title.

Once you’ve picked your bike, then (if, you could be so kind/know how to/can be arsed) please upload a pic of the bike you’re entering. If you can’t upload for whatever reason, PM me, and I’ll do it for you.

THINGS TO REMEMVER WHEN SELECTING YOUR ENTRY BIKE:

1) You only get one choice, so choose wisely
2) Your one choice MUST be for one, single bike (no multiples)
3) It can be from any era/‘school’
4) It can be a bike built at any time, doesn’t have to be recently, from this year’s BOTM comps etc
5) The bike can be built by anyone, including yourself if you wish, but preferably the bike should be built by a Radster as this is a RADBMX based comp.
6) When submitting an entry, if possible, can you add the year, make and model of the bike, and the name of the bike builder

THIS IS A BIT OF FUN, NO MOANING etc, ITS CHRISTMAS AFTER ALL.
This entry post will remain open for 2 weeks until 21st December, this will give you plenty of time to trawl through the forum pages and FB, which hopefully will lead to a mass of beautiful and varied machines.

The voting for the 1st round will be set up once this thread has been locked. How many rounds we have will depend on how many bikes get entered.

You’ve 2 weeks and 1 choice - GO!!!!

My favourite bike of the year .. all OG Survivor.. Richie Greenhalgh’s GT World Tour!
This got a medal at MK inspite of Steve Gartside’s loathing of signatures on BMXs! Lol
Just gorgeous .. amazing condition.. he told me that Karina told him to ride it or it would be sold! ... hence it was ridden .. I think it was all NOS not so long ago .. incredible!

This is pure Freestyle in my eyes, and my No1 for the BMXFACTOR .

Definitely another great pick for the “X” ..I’m sure it got a medal at MK too? Or was it Third place ?

Nice one Dan loved trawling through the archives last year for this. Shame photobucket has robbed us of so many pictures.

I know Chris, it’s a real pity. There’s still loads to go at though.

My entry is Carls latest build ......... 1978 Robinson 

His original 78 was always a favourite of mine (some tw4t stole that  ) so when he said he had got another to replace it i couldnt wait to see what he did with it .  The end result for me surpasses his previous 78 , the choice of parts is  a list of rare desirable 70's exotic parts and i just love the overall look of the bike .

I love it .... hope you do too 

Could do with a better pic if poss Carlos    I know its not totally finished but it should be very soon ...c'mon Carlos 

[Spen69]

It's always vintage for me and despite the new paint job, Ash's '79 STR-1 still screams oldschool eveytime I see it

[CustardLips]

Them two vintage stunners got me thinking. 
I fookin love this... Yannick's Rampar.

I only nominated it because it has my initials.... jk...

No really it’s a stunning build mate, definitely one of the best builds I’ve seen across all platforms all year.

Some great entries there. I’ll get thinking....

My nomination that I spotted at MK, you never see these and it's the first one I've actually seen in front of me. A refreshing change from the constant TA skyway.  It also happens to be an amazing example.

The owner is Grant Stone

Do we know the owner and what year this was made?

Its Grants isn’t it? Sure it was a 2018 build.
