Some of you might have heard about or even seen my new YouTube channel - Now That's Midschool but for those that haven't, here's the plug!

I figured that there's enough podcasts on various platforms about riders and industry figures but not much in the way of shows about the products. And what an era for BMX it was in terms of products! So many unique and diverse designs in all areas. Bikes, frames, forks, bars and all the way down to pegs and pedals. And then there's the products artwork on the softgoods, stickers and all the media! Never before or after the midschool era have we seen such characterful products and that's what I want to focus on.

I did a small trailer for the channel before busying myself with editing the collections that I filmed of Leroy Maidment and Nick Bevan, and those two videos are up and doing well on the views and feedback from watchers. I have a couple of other collections that I'll be featuring in the near future lined up. Those of Keith Brasier and Jonathan Sherwood. Both collectors have stunning collections and hopefully I'll do them justice with filming and editing.

So if you haven't already been there, head over to @nowthatsmidschool on YouTube and feast your eyes and know that there should be regular episodes to watch going forward. Thanks!

Have just caught up with these and very good they were too! I dipped out of BMX during the mid-school era but since getting back into it, have gained a greater appreciation of what went on then. Look forward to seeing the next episodes.

Thanks man. There's a lot of people out there in the same boat. The riding of today is nothing short of incredible but without the development of rider input into the products during the midschool era, it wouldn't be that way. So that makes the midschool era products that bit more special. That's my opinion anyway.
