• As you are fully aware they seem to be totally unable to. The BMX feeds and forums that you mention are proof of this.

    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.

    Well then I'm the man in te middle.

    I ride a BMX and have done for about 10 years. I ride it for tricks etc and I used to use it for transport until I came across big bikes such as 700c freewheel/fixed. I also enjoy riding the trick sessions on my fixed bike. I find it fun but I don't take it too far, I still use my bmx for the majority of trick stuff.

    I see what you're saying about putting all bmx threads in a different area and I don't agree to that. I think that SOME bmx threads should go into a sub category, such as the bmx videos thread and talk about general trick things and how they are relative to fixed freestyle. But the bmx meet-ups for people who also ride fixed/freewheel should stay in rides/races and general so that the majority can choose whether they want to join in or not.

    Plagiarist, I'd be interested in meeting with you guys to ride bmx as I have only been in London since Oct and am still just touching the tip of the iceberg as far as bmxing here is concerned.
