Yes, obvious rip-off of SickDude's thread, a more positive version. What do you like about BMX that is becoming more popular?

1) HELMETS: It's becoming more common for riders being required to wear helmets in contests, and more riders are wearing helmets just because. Which in turn, inspires amateurs to wear helmets.

2) Behind the scenes footage: More footage of riders just dicking around and being human. I think it's funny, and while i've never followed skateboarding closely, i think it's common amongst the sport? and it's a more mainstream sport. which brings me to...

3) It's becoming more mainstream: Nigel Sylvester in some music video. Jackson Ratima and Chad Johnston in Earl Sweatshirt's Hive music video. The more people that know about the sport, the less people that yell "haha your bike's too small fag"

Brakes, 4 piece bars, straight gauge tubing, cross lace, footplants.

I seek progression, not perfection.

None. The helmet thing is good. I can't think of any that I like but I'm the type of person who doesn't like change and I do my own thing. Yes fucking around in skate videos it was started Jackass so everyone in the early-mid 2000s wanted to make a CKY type video ha.

1. cross lacing. it's proven stronger/stiffer
2. straight gauge tubing. we need tough not light frames
3.brakes. the possibilities and safety
4.shorter cranks. for the smaller guys
5. freecoasters. thie growing scne is causing companies to think outside the box for new designs and the design of coasters is progressing really fast

thats all i can think of right now

I agree with the first 2 points, but I can't agree with the last point, I don't and never will see bmx becoming more mainstream as a good thing.

I would rather see bmx stay under the radar, when things become a part of the mainstream all sorts of people jump on it for all the wrong reasons, bmx doesnt belong to pop culture or trendy swagfags. Bmx will lose its true identity and its authenticity if it becomes like that, and that's never a good thing.

Freestyle is the answer to everything --
a fresh way to approach a dull or a
dangerous thing.
to do a dull thing with style
is preferable to doing a dangerous thing
without it.
