i was speaking to an old member at Creation last night, i won't say who but someone i regard as a good mate and always seems to enjoy riding. well we were discussing RAD and why we became members of RAD, wel it was because of Old School BMX! but everyone now rides new school bikes!

i don't want to get into the whole old V new debate as i know the new school bikes are so much better to ride........but we were talking about maybe doing an old school meet (freestyle/cruise) at a concrete park, Reditch? as birmingham is pretty central? then a cruise around and beers in pubs?

but old school only.........what do people think? just putting out the feelers and maybe we can get something arranged??

count me in but I wouldn't exclude new/mid school rides, but the emphasis should be on cruising and some old school tricks we can all try.
(I only say this cos I currently have no old school ride. lol.)

Endos, Wheelies (not manuals, get pedalling) and bunny hops.

we could have a fun time in Brum I'm sure and it's easy for folks on the train. (well easy for me. lol)

Joe i wouldn't want to put any limit to tricks, it would be up to you what you want to do on your old school ride.....but it would be old school only

Trev: how much to post my CW i'm gonna need it now.

pickle · « **Reply #4 on:** June 29, 2008, 08:57 AM »

there was someone selling Reflex's on here a while ago.......can't remember who though

Shings · « **Reply #5 on:** June 29, 2008, 02:53 PM »

I'm in - but I was really disapointed with just how shit my old skool bike was last time I rode out on it- but I do like riding around on it.

Redditch is too far from Brum though and the train station is the town centre which isn't easily accesable from the skate park.

Like I said- I'm in.

maybe the od' new school ride should be allowed,as it is very old school based, and its not till you look closely do you see the differances, with the added benofit of being able to handle my 16st gut

JT71 · « **Reply #7 on:** June 29, 2008, 03:23 PM »

no. no new school. pickle says so. not even retro.

Ditto

I only have & only ride, a new skool BMX but I don't consider myself new skool!

I must admit twas me speaking to pickle the other night at Creation, but thanx pickle for the covert post

Now I ain't out to put peeps backs up or have a dig yeah, I was just a bit disillusioned by the sea of new school bikes at the Creation meet. I've raised this before so won't go over old ground, and I understand to progress and feel comfortable as a rider new skool is the way....and they don't break

Just that on Sat I felt outta place (yeah my ridin sucks for one) but the only rider (out of about 40) using what can be closley deemed as 'old skool looking' (although much of the GT stuff is mid), pic courtesey of Pickle

There's no particular need to organise an old skool bike meet, just that I didn't feel part of Rad (what it means to me) on Sat.... or am I livin in fantasy land?

Anyway sob story over....you're all cool

...........except for the bikes

I agree i much prefer the Old School because thats my memories of BMX

and they look a lot better.

As for the new bikes not braking i dont get off the ground high enough for owt to brake.

I do like the novice nights, i wouldnt go on a normal night as i would be too embarassed.

we'll keep the tunes old school Aerostylie if not the bikes

Arrrr I see....the subtle approach

Anyway fellas, like I said, not havin a go, it's all BMX, new/mid/old/whatever

Was just a moody so and so when I got home after Saturday

Trev · « **Reply #20 on:** June 30, 2008, 06:08 PM »

paul, no meet is complete without you on an old school bmx and your tunes pumping out.

that is a big part of the atmosphere there. keep with it. it's all good.

i had retired them for a while. i don't think i done one since before xmas. but did sneak one in at corby on rarman's bike when he went for a drink.
i need a bike which is either brakeless or has a chainstay brake as me big flipper feet don't fit on the tyre with a seat stay brake.

so maybe i'll do one at the next event for ya.

jedi · « **Reply #23 on:** June 30, 2008, 06:30 PM »

i consider myself old school but prefer riding my new school bike.
i never want any bike a have had after i have done with it.
novice nights are about many things ,one of which is progressing your riding if you so wish.

in the end,ride what you want ,but ride!

Trev · « **Reply #24 on:** June 30, 2008, 06:53 PM »

paul, i notice everytime that your rollback sliders are getting smoother and longer. and you don't dab as much as you used to.

i think i need to give you some more tricks to learn. stick a peg on the front left next time and we'll get you learning a whole new range of tricks.
