I never got on with the BMXs either. You can't pedal them very fast.

Same, not ever really tried a BMX properly. I've ridden my mate's BMXs a couple of times and didn't really like it.

Plus I fixed my Flow, it is temporary fix till I can get it fixed properly but atleast I can ride it again. Its weird riding it again after a long time of just riding my full susser.

I have a Flow Drift 26 for jumping and freeriding and a Specialized FSR XC for when ever I wanna ride abit of singletrack.

And the bikeflip would be awesome to see a competition. Very Happy

The spotlight will probably get nabbed by some Spanish rider before a Brit pulls one off in competition - which will get the cover of the next NWD (no names mentioned)...

Well so far Sam is the only person to do it I belive, so lets hope he gets the spotlight for it. Very Happy

Hey! Less of the BMX-bashing! Weird, restrictive, trick-toys!?! What do we do every time we get a mountain bike airbourne eh? X-up? Lay it flat?Where did we learn that? As for Spaniards check Sergio Layos on youtube. Super smooth spanish bloke on a 20" bike! A quick lesson in anti-restrictiveness!

Just watched that vid - not many riders can visualise terrain the way Sergio does.

Hey Wein, maybe we should set up JAB UK South East BMX and stop upsetting everyone else on here  Laughing

Deffo up for a spin although my BMX is super heavy old school!

Maybe we should take this offline to the PM's and set up a Beacon School session...

Dug some old BMX photos out:

Ween dutifully performing a 'Street riding' manoeuvre at what used to be the Waitrose loading bay

Froudie at Beacon Green Lane woods

Wayne on the bank at the tennis courts next to what used to be the art blocks at Green Lane

I think these were taken in '95 although the B&W of Ween may have been '91ish
