Because they`re old and set in their ways.

Seriously,not all OS riders have bad attitudes & you could say the same about NS hating OS.Don`t know where I fit in with this,I`m 38 & ride NS bikes.I`m of the opinion that OS bikes for collecting/looking at,NS for riding.The OS Series riders are an exception and some of them can give much younger racers a damn good lesson.A lot of younger NS riders need a big lesson in BMX history about bikes,riders,tricks etc.Whatever,it`s all BMX and all good to me

the only thing i hate about youger riders is the fact they wear belts, but their pants still hang out the back of their jeans....

thats just silly

To be honest I'm "Old School" all the way, 42 years old now and I do like watching the New School stuff.... some of it is like totally bonkers and incredibly skillful and ballsy!!!

Everyone has their "era" and I think that old school bikes look waaay more trick than NS even though NS bikes are technically better... but they look bland imo.

It does wind me up though when NS riders take the piss out of old school riding, tricks etc saying how lame it looks
..... when we were doing what we were doing back then, some of it was pretty hard stuff to do and we were all pushing the envelope back then to be better and better.
Just cos it may seem easy to pull old school tricks now doesn't make them shit.... all sports progress over time and BMX has too!

Still think a really shit hot tabletop or turndown looks better than any backflip360tailwhipblablabla anyways

I love all BMX

new, old, race, freestyle, flatland vert..... I've always been into racing so thats where my sole is. The only thing that I don't get about new schoolers is........

Why the hell do they insist on wearing their sisters size 8 black jeans to ride in

Give the new school riders credit where its due for fricks sake, bitd we all wore flarey race pants which got caught in our huge chain rings, the n/s riders wear tight jeans to eliminate this problem and for a brucie bonus the jeans offer improved protection over race pants. your obviously all bitter that the bike clip is now pretty much obsolite in bmx.

I never tucked my jeans in, in fact when i first started riding they were tight and 4 inches up my legs to show the 24 hole DM's i never wore. I couldn't afford race uniforms then and never wore them. That didn't change when i could afford them though.

Whats New School?

I just Ride... and i dont go to school!

I don't hate anyone...apparently it leads to the dark side or sommat

Seriously it can be difficult talking to youngsters, there will always be some twat who will think you might be a perv...

It's riding bikes and it's supposed to be fun...I'm rubbish at tricks and I freely admit it, but I still enjoy what I do

For me its even more difficult as I don't have any BMX history to draw upon, so I'm a clueless old bloke on a BMX bike

I also admit I don't understand brakeless and am a little bit horrified by it.

and I don't find any love inside me for new school bikes, not because of the ride quality as I know that they are a better ride than OS...but because they don't hit that spot inside me like OS bikes do...I can't explain it any better than that.

There will always be a divide between the generations, culture, fashions and so forth, and not always everything will be understood...

i'd hate to be 16 again, maybe mid to late twenties, certainly not a teenager... tbh some teenagers look at you like they want to kick your head in, and look like they mutter and mumble when out of range, full of testosterone and want to be look impressive....

now you can lock it bob!

Coz yer tossers who need to pull yer britches up.....

And while your at it ride bikes with stickers so we know what they are as they all look the same, buy some proper grips with ends on (see A`me) put your saddles up so you can do roll backs and proper wheelies, have your mobile phones taken away as you dont need them because your 12, get some rims that match, wash, and talk proper. and get a job you bunch of leeches.

Apart from that your sound as a pound
