Does no one ride oldskool for Freestyle?

[aerostylie]

Thanx for the replies guys and yeah I agree with peeps case for new school being the way to go to ride current parks, I've no probs at all (even though new bikes are a bit bland...but that's another arguement for another day

I'm just disappointed that the oldskool freestyle scene doesn't appear to exist anymore or is that just my perception? When I joined Rad, I was expecting to see loads of oldskool bikes being ridden with all the old moves going down.
 
My original e-mail came about based upon a shout made on Kerrang about Rad 'keepin it oldskool' yet on Saturday it didn't look or remotely feel oldskool, just seemed like any other skatepark on a normal day.

Anyway not havin a dig at anyone or havin a go at what peeps ride, love you all......but not in a gay way.

That is totally what I thought. It seemed quite busy, loads of under 20 yearolds, and whips everywhere you looked. Ive got no problems with that at all, but I can see why some (not you Paul  ) didnt really feel like riding much.


Maybe it was that (some of) the riders there on Sat night were OS at HART, whatever wheels they were rollin!

maybe we could organise something just for old school bikes.
not necessarily at a park. not too sure what yet. maybe just a meet at an empty car park or something.
paul could bring his big chunky stereo again and we could all goof around doing front hops and back hops. a bit of balancing and maybe even the odd cherry picker. 

we could make it strictly old school bikes only. no ramps for them to break on. just a chill out session.

Trev, if you want to set that up, I could knock up a kickturn ramp......  should be good for a laugh

I like the idea of this...

I'm suspicous of Trev's motives for wanting to meet up in a carpark.

it's only slightly less dodge than a laybay on Cannock chase.

None the less....

I'm in all TRM'd up and shit man
