My point is simple. The occasional BMX thread on the main forum will appeal to a vast span of people, from those who raced in the 70&80s to the 90s teenagers like us right through to the newschoolers.
FGF is not interesting to the wide range of people that BMX is. Give it 30 years and that may be different.
I have used this forum (like the cheap slag she is) to meet up with people and ride BMX. If you moved BMX threads into a group or subforum of fixed wheel dominated trick sessions I would miss the threads which actually may interest me. If you decide to go back to your bmx one day and post up in general or rides & races then the chances are I'd turn up and ride.
Incidentally from the people whom I have met on here and still ride with, all ride Fixed wheels for transport, for run and some even for racing. But none have been welcoming of FGF as they don't see the point. You will never be able to do on a fixed what you can on a BMX, this doesn't mean that you personally shouldn't try. Just leave me to carry on with my preferred weapon of choice without attempting to drag my attention back to your sport.
