Wearing a full face is just sensible. A facial impact is the worst.

Me and a few other dudes turned up at Livi in the 90's sporting our new Bell moto 6 full face lids one of the n/s geezers at the park shouts over to his mate "ow hoffman and mirra are here" even tho the joke was directed at us we couldn't help but wee ourselfs laughing.

Ha, Ha, Ha, a bunch of old gits, (myself included, 39 in a week) moaning about the new school riders.

Can anyone rember Life's a Beach Trousers and Caps, Town and Country sweats, the big Oakley shades, and we are calling
them Gay?

?

Shiny uniforms and balance tricks is that what they should be doing and wearing.

New school is cool, the tricks are unbelivable, honestly what would you rather pull whips or front hops, at only 15 years old, the guys at school gave me grief for riding a kiddies bike, it doesnt have that image anymore, surely that's a good thing.

I cant understand the pants thing either, but my dad couldn't understand the pink converse, same thing isnt it.

dirtyvans · « **Reply #31 on:** February 25, 2008, 11:39 PM »

haha funny thread

the fashion doesnt bother me, chavs will be wearing tight jeans soon

, fat bmx kids in tight jeans though aint a good look

anyway we were all wearing pink stuff in the 80's!

style wise some things bug me, some of the kids now cant even pedal! they pedal all straight and upright, it reminds me how my gran used to ride her shopper bike while wearing a dress

, they need to ride something else apart from flatbanks etc, like some dirt or a bmx track, get a bit of flow

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #32 on:** February 26, 2008, 12:26 AM »

TBH as long as it kills the chav thing i'm with it

You can't have all that nice hair and wear a baseball cap so it's got to be a good thing.

Sorry but I can't even watch that. it's just how they all look the same, they all ride the same, just like almost every NS kid out there! I do appreciate the tricks that could be considered difficult but I think it's missing the point of riding completely. Im sure we've all want(ed) to be able to do the tricks our favourite riders did/do but it's all too 'dolly the sheep' for my liking...

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #36 on:** February 26, 2008, 09:23 PM »

Near the beginning of that vid there's a gap to wallride. I'm pretty sure its the same one as is in that horrific leg break vid I posted up the other week.

dirtyvans · « **Reply #37 on:** February 26, 2008, 11:35 PM »

nothing wrong with that vid, top quality flowy riding

nu skool done well wins for me

Flaz · « **Reply #38 on:** February 27, 2008, 12:02 AM »

go to rOm jam or corby and watch some of these skinny jeaned, boxer showing, funny gay belted kids riding and i can assure you when they are doing back flips , 360 tail whips, flairs , forward flips you really wont be to worried about how they look coz you will be to busy picking your jaw up off the floor and as for flow

the day mark webb and ben wallace was at corby ripping the park up flat out how anyone could ever say they aint got no flow or style I'll never know

FFS to see these fookers ripping it up in the flesh is awsome

mark webb did a transfer from the jump box to the back of the small spine he must of travelled 15/20 foot 12 foot up in the air

if you aint got flow doing that you land on ya face, end of!!!!!

I think if Chase D looked the same as everyone else he wouldn't be traveling the globe, have such a huge following or a signature frame on Fit etc.... Maybe you're missing something slightly?

Did you go to any 80's comps, almost every run was the same.

Dave Mirra, Chase Hawk, Karl Poynter three riders with completely different tricks and styles.

New schoolers are a hive of useful information! Only this week I found out that a guy called Tony Hoffman invented BMX and that he is the best in the world `cos he can do backflips...........

They`re ok in small doses,but some really need to learn their roots!

perry · « **Reply #42 on:** February 27, 2008, 12:34 PM »

but its people like us that have to teach them those roots

Stevie, it's the other way around dude, it's all the kids who look like Chase D etc! as I said in my earlier post, I do respect the difficulty involved in modern riding, just think some originality in tricks & having your own style instead of everyone elses...

all imo

I didn't go to many 80's comps bar race meets etc but I went to pretty much EVERY 90's jam & that was when people had there own ideas, no one wanted to ride just like their hero's, maybe try to learn their tricks but not to look exactly like them when they do them!

I can appreciate the differences in your list of examples but Dave Mirra isn't what I would call new skool

& I bet he would look a complete cock in girls jeans too!

cheers

Personally I think NS right now is the most creative I've ever seen BMX.... I for one think it's an amazing time to be a part of it.

nouseforaname · « **Reply #47 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:46 PM »

Having read this it seems like a classic case of the oldies not understanding the yoof!!!!

I'm 33 and I wanted a PK Ripper as much as the next man when I was 12 (all i got was a super tuff burner lol) but you seriously need to check out the modern scene. Yeah there's a fashion element with some people but there's some insane riding and stuff being pulled by kids that no-one could've dreamt of five years ago. There's also loads of riders with a lot of flow too, some of it is a joy to watch.

Get a new school ride and get down the park!

*tight jeans are not compulsory

i didnt used to like ' nu skool street' videos that much, rail after rail etc, but recents dvds have got so much better, good editing better music. Creative street riding, like Rubens bit in Grounded, chas D etc. I find them more exciting to watch

I like riding a bit of street, its nice to get away from the mini scooters and chavs, but its hard work and unforgiving compared to riding smooth ramps, if i go with trill we ride about 40 miles around london and find 1 bank
