Who can comfortably ride a bike with an 18"TT?

i can!

I agree It's like rock n roll and bob marley it will never die till our entire generation dies.

I am an old school rider, bmx and freestyler and still have a kick @$$ time doing both. It will never die in my life time.
I do agree with the above post about flatland kinda hitting a wall. I can't ride like that so it keeps me going. I still like the  old days of flatland. Mcoy, Eddy, Martian, Wilkerson, RL.  Pete L. Terry T. Tommy B. Fuzzy, Griggs. Hell ya

[img][/img]Three years ago we would go to a local double pointer and the Moto sheet be
around 40 motos now it's around 60-65 on any given double pointer and that's on the racing scene!!! More companies are jumping in on the bandwagon bringing olschool name brands back!!! Expensive re pop old school parts are been made so NO!!! IT'S NOT DIEING OUT!!! It's growing!!! Check out the street park scene!

And even when our generation passes on WOOP Bmx headed to the next generation IT WILL NEVER DIE there will always be somebody somewhere ridding hard.and I will tell mY kids about it so they too can pass Bmx biking and freestyling down to there kids. so that it is an on going epidemic of bikes going down. It's healthy and fun for the whole family to get together and enjoy some biking. BMX FOR LIFE!!!!!!!

i would say BMX race is almost dead as compared to street, park, and trails. flatland is just about dead too.

I agree 100%.  Its sooooo.dead in Alaska, and flatland and street.are alive and florishing.

Look's Fine To Me!

Yeah but it seems like people aren't passing it on in my area. I remember when I was a kid all we did was ride are bikes...we lived it! Your bike was like your car. You guys know what I'm sayin. Nowadays when I'm out and about I hardly see any kids riding bikes. They all want to play on the computer or their cell phone it seems. We tried to tell my friends son to get a bmx bike for his birthday but he wanted transformers

I disagree as racing is one of the smallest facets of BMX.
There are a hell of a lot more riders hitting the local parks, trails and streets on a consistent basis than the local tracks.

Maybe I am as the politicians say "misremembering" but hasn't this always been the case? Racing always seemed like a small faction of the BMX community as a whole.

Maybe if your knowledge of BMX doesn't date back before 1985.

In the 70's and early 80's BMX WAS racing. Everything else was "riding" until the next race.

Wow.
