I'm sure they'll be sick, but what do think about those prices?

Jesus. Certainly didn't expect to see this on instagram a second ago.


R.I.P. Brian certainly never knew him very well, but he certainly seemed like a decent guy.

As someone else noted, I'm glad to see that at least it always seemed like he had a lot of fun in his life.

So good. Filming was pretty spot on too. Much better than most of the shit I see.

Yeah, I definitely feel like Dig or Albion are the closest things to those types that we've got right now. I was considering doing a zine a while ago, but I'm not sure I really have the time to pursue it at all.

Did do a bit of a demo of it a while ago, but never really finished it.

Yeah i guess he is! I guess that retrospective viewing of bmx doesnt happen for the younger riders (i only started riding three years ago having come from skateboarding, the respect for the pioneers of the sport and the interest in what they did to push the sport carried over from skateboarding's culture). But then bmx still seems 10 years behind skateboarding in terms of culture to me at least, so maybe it will just take some time.

Also, that bike check is awesome but it is slightly annoying they left off the stuff that wasnt animal.

Definitely true. BMX could still learn a great deal from skateboarding.

Hamilton is definitely sort of the Penny of BMX, though I wish he could be more the Gall of it.

Skateboarding culture definitely destroys BMX culture for the most part as well.

Definitely a lot more to it and I appreciate its attempts to maintain a less than squeaky clean image all the time.

I've definitely long wished for a Thrasher or Low Card for BMX, but there really isn't one.

In terms of the revering their pioneers and things of that nature, I do really appreciate how much respect the average skater still has for people like Cardiel and the like, but it's not there all the time.

I think Gareth Stehr's pretty much sponsor-less right now, due to Foundation deciding to try to become more mainstream and "relavant", getting rid of all their older lineup, minus Duffel.

I do think that if I went to the average skatepark, too, and asked a normal skater kid in high school who Stehr or Tosh Townend was, he probably wouldn't have a clue.

Site Help and Rules / Quick Links?

No, it happened to me too. I also can't find my user CP or any way to log in besides making a thread/replying to a thread. Bizarre.

Edit: Look at our rep power too.
