bmx has gotten a lot shittier. i'll tell you why. kids these days are all fucked. bmx isn't about having fun with your friends anymore..it's about trying to be cool, doing drugs, talking shit, vandalizing property, and messing with the cops. the shittiness of modern bmx can be easily seen through today's videos. remember metal bikes? what happened to big drops without robotic barspins? good ol punk music?
now, it's just weed smoking and barspins. i can really see a difference in the riders' facial expressions. fuck stevie churchill. when he rides, i just see some football-player-lookin faggot sweating, tryin 720 bars, and thinkin he's so tough.
that's why i love people like albie bennet, sean burns, jimmy levan, etc. man, these guys rode for fun. they didn't give a fuck about getting famous. when i watched them ride, i just saw good dudes smiling, being weird, and ridin bikes for fun.
so how do we overcome this bullshit?
stop giving a fuck. if people want to smoke weed and ride to be cool, let them. i see these type of faggots, especially the skaters at my school. i don't try to convert them into something else, i let them be faggots while i do my own thing. things change, accept it. but you control your own world. im in 2013, yet i listen to punk music, ride for fun, and still cant barspin or 360 after 2.5 years of riding (i just never gave a shit). speaking of not giving a shit, fuck you haters of sweet shoutouts. it's a program i believe in, and it's staying right here on vital.
it's okay to give up on the world around you, but never lose hope in yourself.
