I like pretty much anything BMX, but I have 3 things I don't like...

Redline's - SOOOO Ugly, hated them bitd, hate them still.
Skyway T/A's without Skyway Tuff wheels, what the fook are you doing? There is a big clue in the name SKYWAY, race bikes had Skyway wheels too.
MX1000's with different colour arms, uuuuurrrrggghhh.

Like....

Riding bikes

Survivor builds

os bikes getting used, although i wish more would give new school a try

Cant stand...

Over polished mirror finished parts, no one i know did it bitd so why now?

Snake posts....

Coloured tyres... yuk! amberwalls or plain black are acceptable anything else is just gay!

Tuffs on a rider, iconic product, look great... flexy as fook and horrible in reality

Hate on new school from peeps that know nowt about it, turn up at a skatepark with an old school bike and the young un's know nowt about them but love it, so why not the other way round?

I trust I can count on your vote when I enter my haro for BOTM then betty only thing I'm missing from your hate list is coloured tyres (or would non-era correct haro whitewalls be gay enough to get you tutting in dismay

Whitewalls.... pass the sick bucket...

I'll probably like it when its done, apart from the seat...

No worries Spen , I'll bum some sense into ya at Blackpool

, as for for Lee ( Moza) he was the first to say it at the top of the thread

but I think he's gone all soft in the head since he stopped having avatars with big swinging jugs

All Hutch aren't daft money , I saw a complete Pro racer with tuffs at an old school meet last year for £250

and Pro raiders regularly go for that and less on US Ebay , they look pretty similar just shorter tt

I pretty much like all things old school BMX, really loved the casual clothes, the hip hop music and Mk1 Escorts

Some things annoy like the CW Layback Seatpost (WTF was that all about?), the geometry of the Raleigh Burner range, most bikes made by Townsend and Saxon (lookalikes not BMX bikes) and some of geyhay colours that appeared in the late 80's.

Hated the politics that befell BMX racing and then freestyle unfortunately for both genres politics interefered from right at the beginning

liked

airs, dirt jumps & street riding, dp freestylers, haro freestylers, hutch pro stars, robinson pro bars, GT, skyways, PKs, landing gear forks, aero araya,maximum frames.

disliked

the general cheese of the 80s

layback seat posts, bars too far forwards or backwards, haha. gimmick stuff, like hutch trickstar 2s, horrible looking things, haha(sorry if you like em, I just dont)
burners, haha - the pro ones were OK, but the everyday one was such an ugly shape. V bars

---

some things I liked in the 80s, that I think are gash now - tuffs, z rims, cw bars

ameobic dysentry · « **Reply #49 on:** January 20, 2011, 06:44 PM »

I especially like the neon/pastel/gay colours of the 80s.
