I come from the coast and got mates that surf. They say it never leaves you and no matter where life takes them, they'll always be surfers. I guess it's the same for us. When bmx arrived here it was such a massive thing for a lot of us that we'll never stop appreciating it. Like many others, I wanted to build the bike I rode and loved back in 84. I found Scott Richards and got a TRM from him. He introduced me to RAD and I couldn't believe my luck. I've built 9 bikes since getting on here, mostly show ponies. I ride two of them and it's about oldschool freestyle for me (because I can't do anything else!). I've spent a fortune and I hold you all persnally responsible  ;)

For me its riding, and always will be :daumenhoch:
I have built one true show bike (all be it NS) but when it came down to the crunch after breaking my daily riders crank arm, out it came to replace the daily, I did how ever promise myself that I would restore to how it was when I do get round to building a replacment daily..

I really love seeing the old school show bikes, I think their amazing, & in my book anything thats taken time, effort, thought and love to build, deserves respect!!
regardless of money spent!


lets be honest, whether you build them or ride them or both, its the people who don't understand it that should think were all sad, not us....
I see no real need for us to look in at our own community and cast opions on whats cool and whats not...

BMX forever!!

I ride from time to time, love it too. Even though im doing the same old tricks I was doing ten years ago. I build the odd show bike too, though mostly ride more than I build. Its all good though!
Ive even built a new school bike for show - how nuts is that?!

ps: will everyone lighten up, i was only trying to find out what everyone was CURRENTLY into and if the economic climate has changed what you do, and maybe open up a bit of a debate.

I collect bikes, either old school or retros, I ride them, cant do any tricks as I wasnt into bmx bitd and so never learned.  I like bmx bikes pure and simple, though I tend to prefer OS simply for the colour schemes.
Eventually I will build a NS custom and will ride that too.  I go cruising on bmx as its kind of cool and gives me a bit of exercise.

I still havent a clue why I bought so many bmx's though  :idiot2:

Although i can apprieciate and drool over full on 'carpet queen' show builds, i cant afford or justify paying top whack for rare parts cos i like to ride mine.... old and new...

Gen1 with some good bits and some cheap bits, just like my bikes were bitd, and it gets the odd night out at the skatepark...

Any excuse for a pic...  :P



Used and abused new schooler...



Collecting or riding, its all cool as fcuk...  :daumenhoch:

Building O/S for me then bombing about on them for a bit before i retire them to my Dungeon for looking at.

Had a new school race bike which for some reason i couldn't stay on , its now departed to the Midlands for pure abuse from a fellow RAD member.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

I love everything about BMX, it is a major part of my life.  :smitten:

For me though its all about riding, cant get enough of it. Especially Charlton spine ramp.  :daumenhoch:

I think most of the OS builds are absolutely gorgeous,
and if i had found this place sooner than 18 months ago i would probably have a Gen1 Haro sitting in me garage right now......just for old times sake.  :daumenhoch:
I cant justify spending over a grand for a "momento", but i think its great that others do. Long may it continue?

And it doesn't have to be Old Skool to be gorgeous anyway ;)
