I pretty much only care about Bear corp. or Moellers brands.. Deco seems cool though..

I don't even pay much attention to T! (Which seems more like an American based Fly bikes now).

FBM doesn't have much for products that set them apart from other brands now.. etc etc.

I guess I'm just losing touch with bmx..

Older companies are where its at for me....that would have to include companies with owners from the old era too, so Cult would be one of the. Robbie Morales was in the 1st ever Props video so hes bonafide!
Keep on Keeping on!

Looked at my bike recently and noticed and I'm biased towards the older companies. The parts are either Fit, S&M, Primo, Tree or Odyssey. I think because it's the time period I grew up riding in and I now know what I like so I stick to it.

You like Cult?


I wonder though, is liking Cult liking a new brand if you're a fan of Robbie Morales and Neal Wood from BITD?

I actually prefer newer. I have been in the scene for like 12-15 years something. Have had friends talk about almost having to like T1 or similar brands because I'm considered an older rider. Truth is that I always disliked those brands...

For some reason I have always preffered continental European brands such as Twentybicycles, Dragonfly, Mankind, Autumn, Country bikes and KHE.

Edit; I guess KHE is an old Company...

I feel like old brands are afraid of innovation and for that reason alone I don't fuck with them.

I think i remember grabbing a bmx zine and looking at one of those ads and getting the biggest mindfuck ever because i didnt know what they where sellling, i was probably less than 10 years old. thats probably why i got into bmx.

never realized how ground breaking joe tiseo was. feeble hard 180's back in the day was something no one was doing.

so much nostalgia and im happy i always gave kink the respect they deserved. now i'm indiferent of the brand just like anyone else. they are pretty meh.
