If you both are bored and tired of this thread there are plenty of others and or can always start a new one.

As for jogging on, I am here in the "bmx chat" section having a chat about bmx. What is your problem with that? And how do you imagine you can bring anybodies Mother and Wife into this, based solely on your inability to read and comprehend the posts in a thread and then tell them to "jog on"?

What is happening post-dibly with ukbikeco and Avocet's involvement in the high end bmx market is interesting to me and affects the industry as a whole. You are not the judge of when "everything that's been needed to say has been said" and please refrain from making dumb comments about my family and who may or may not be shagging them.

Luckily my Mother refuses to look at this site anymore after before she had a chance to post a "hello" in the Eddie thread she was forced to log out after reading Pickle's comment wondering if Denise Barter, another of her old friends (and someone whose efforts contributed massively to racing, freestyle and skatepark riding) "took it up the shitter". My daughters still look in here though and your attempts at humor regarding their Grandmother and Mother are not appreciated, no matter how dull you find this thread.

burners were nodads- fact

beard1973 · « **Reply #231 on:** April 22, 2009, 11:35 PM »

They were also the biggest selling BMX bike in the UK - fact.

The geometry was pants and the build quality poor - fact.

But they introduced thousands of kids to the fun of BMX - fact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now back away from ya PC's before I am forced to unleash the full force of BURNERWORLD.

burners?

off topic dragging?

heads up!

come on guys,
WHATEVER your opinions about ukbikeco and dibly,

at least have the fooking decency to keep this thread on track please,

can a moderator possibly remove all the burner photo's please? one thing has fook all to do with the other,

many of us are actually keen to find out whats happening in all this so if you have no interest in the matter or anything of worth to say,

feel free to fook off and read another thread,

harris · « **Reply #245 on:** April 23, 2009, 02:40 PM »

they have gone of topic i also think so they can go..

beard1973 · « **Reply #246 on:** April 23, 2009, 03:03 PM »

What kind of censorship is that? someone brought Burner's into the debate... they got a slagging...!! I stood up for them....

This thread died about 5 pages ago... don't go blaming the Burner Pictures for that...!!!

I'll try and refrain from defending a BMX I am passionate about on here in future... read the last two pages again... it was NOT off topic.

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #247 on:** April 23, 2009, 03:04 PM »

Come on Beard, you know it's all the Burners fault

darkersomeday · « **Reply #248 on:** April 23, 2009, 03:05 PM »

after struggling to read through all the internet hype,palava and bullshit my conclusions reside thus,

dibly made a naive mistake by jumping feet first onto the "lightweight" bandwagon with the revolution frame then struggled to justify the design decision to go with the lb3.? pound frame weight when it came to the technical questions regarding to the frame weight and strength,

there lies the crux of the matter,

everything else seemed to be going well, team riders, video's, website etc and as many who have met daz and spoke with him will attest to, he pushed "ukbikeco" as much as he could and is definitely a likeable, friendly, intelligent bloke,
but after so many reports and pics of the frames failing his backers at avocet have clearly decided to pull the plug and cease production,

i was as suprised as anyone to learn of avocets involvement in the company and then the quality control and standards of build problems became a little clearer,

the downside for the industry is that all this comotion is damaging to future uk bmx companies, there arent enough as it is and we've always been under represented in the past so this saga only makes it more diffuclt for us to be taken seriously,

in affects the riders in the sense that many genuine riders just dont have the funds to go out and by another frame when theirs fails,
not to mention the loss of interest and confidence and possibly serious injury when catastrophic failiure occurs,

this isnt to have a dig at dibly in any way, just the story as i've seen it unfold, after talking to him a few times i had high hopes for the company and even told him to make their first frame a well built, 5lb street frame,
as for the lies and stuff about avocets involment i really dont think it matters, we as consumers within the bicycle industry are lied to all the time and are mostly happy to accept big finance companies involvment, t1 is owned by an investor, so is odyssey and SE racing!!!

lastly i actually think its a shame that things have turned out this way, esp for daz,

all because of a design decision.
