maybe i will bring something but will not enter. I dont think mine will fit in any class. I do use some repop parts.
Oh well

Jeff, if you don't enter, I promise I will call you at random times late at night and early morning off and on until next year.  No one cares about who has the most original or rarest anything.

Tyler S., no bad blood here on my part.  Paul and I could help with the mid/new school. Not ours of course.

entering or not, i would love for every bike that can be there to be there. Rob since you and paul are entering that just wouldnt be fair I dont consider me and dad bmx gurus or anything but we feel we make it fair as possible for everyone. if you dont have bikes or dont want to enter them, then come enjoy the raffle,track and atmosphere of "Brains & Bikes" !!!!

Ok Rob you twisted my arm unless I have to work I will be there. I have six bikes that I can bring, entering or not!
(dont want no late calls from Rob, I get enough of those from my job)

Good to hear!

Tyler, I will show my bikes, but they don't have to be judged. As long as i can do the raffle, I will be fine.

I know its going to be hot so I have a tent and a big fan that I can bring. If we can get power to the fan.
I have a generator but I dont know if I could run it out there.

Im not sure if we can get power to the fan, oak mountain has alot of shady trees around the track so the sun wont be directly on everyone. not sure about the generator...ill run that by the track director.

I DROPPED THE NO REPOP PARTS, I WAS CONTRADICTING MYSELF. TECHNICALLY REPOP PARTS ARE ERA CORRECT, THEY ARE JUST NOT MADE IN THE 80s. DIA COMPE, VISCOUNT, DOMINATOR, OAKLEY, AND A FEW OTHER OLD SCHOOL BRANDS STILL MAKE ERA CORRECT PARTS SO I DONT SEE A REASON WHY THEY CANT BE ALLOWED. I BELIEVE IM DONE MAKING CHANGES TO EVERYTHING, I HOPE NONE OF THIS CONFUSES ANYONE.

I didn't mean to stir the pot by asking to clarify the rules. I know that the last few shows a few of us have been to did not have anything truthfully describing the classes except the name. I felt after the last show I went to, I would like clarification for myself. I did not to mean to make it difficult for everyone, however I do feel that most of us never really thought about re-issue parts on their bikes, no matter what era.

To be honest, only companies copying parts, whether old school or even now, were called re-pop. I feel the companies that have never gone outta business like Profile, Redline, Dia-Compe, Viscount, Tioga/Kashimax aren't copying their own parts, they re-issue them. I know it creates a big uproar with the "have to be 100% era correct" people, but the good news for our locals who enjoy these shows and credit the good people who put them on, aren't necessarily like that. I'm glad that the judging hasn't been as critical, however for myself, I haven't thought to change out parts for era correct when I already have them. When you want color on your bike, mainly reds & blues, the old school parts are very expensive to get and to be honest, most of my builds are RIDES not statues. I don't need to admire my bikes as much as I like to ride them.

Tyler, I apologize for the clarification I asked for, but I was mainly looking for myself. Nothing showing up to a test and not knowing what's on it. I like to studying prior to taking it. With or without more detailed classes, I'll still be supporting local shows because I like the atmosphere and camaraderie.

I totally agree with showing up at a test not knowing whats on it. It was a good idea from the start to put qualifications and what the bike is judged on. then its clear before everyone gets there. i just had to rethink what i was aying about repop parts and era correct. Guys im not going to nit pick, bring your bikes out!!!

This show is at the park, so I'm going out on a limb and say on grass, not dirt.

What?? No dirty tires...

The day I Armor All my bike tires is the day I will put them up for sale. I have rode everyone of my bikes at least down the street and back. if it can't handle that, why waste the time putting it together.

Depending on if I can get away or not, I may be going the Oak Mountain Saturday.
