Eh, the internet has always been this way. When was the time when it wasnt? All are equal on the internet, anyone can deem themselves as "alpha", as being top dog, and therefore having justification for arguing with you. The internet has always been this way brah, its nothing personal. What you say doesnt mean shit. What you do means an infinite amount more. Who gives a shit what others say, suck it up, be who you want to be, do what is right, do what makes you happy, and above all be true to yourself.

We're all gonna make it

I agree with most stuff that's been said here, I've just always done my own thing, some kind of punk/hippie/jim morrison mix of beer, trees and bikes. I'm happy enough and that's all the really matters. Society is and always will be a mess in one way or another, no way around that, there will always stupid cunts with an inflated opinion of themselves. Nothing we can do except make the most of what we got.

I'm confused lol?

Are we talking about the guy who had a serious injury & is getting back into BMX? O.K I don't really ride park but i had my injury in a park & I've had surgery & i'm going to have to surgery again to fix my shoulder AGAIN now they found i have a 1/4" Sublax.

Could that be me? IDK maybe? lol

8/14/2013 5:56 PM

well whether bmx goes to shit or not, i wanna be in it for the long run, and i know how im gunna do it. get my final year at college done and come out with distictions, then ill go for an apprenticeship at hope, which means moving away on a shit salery, but atleast its bikes. Then i work my way into the bmx side of hope (theyve started bmxx hubs), then im basically in the bmx life. Fuck load of work for nothing if bmx ends up half as bad as everyone thinks it will be, but as they say, life is what you make of it, and bmx is my life, so bmx is what you make of it.

No no guys I was talking about some dude I had a conversation with one night. Probably around 12am or so and we just end up chatting about some skatepark, chics, bikes, the usual I think he doesn't come on anymore.

My point I was trying to get across was the diversity of all the riders and how all of us together make Bmx what it is and our ability to change Bmx whichever way we'd like. We are the "consumers" we buy the products. Example, Freecoasters seem to be coming on and companies are looking for more freecoaster options in their stock. If there was no demand from us there would be no product. Was basically trying to get everyone to realize they had unimaginable power within their reach.

So as much as we hate posers/chavs/wanna bes or whatever you choose to call them, I guess they do us some good. They help keep the industry alive. But we dictate what the industrate supplies

we may hate the swag fags but we're gonna have to deal with them if we want BMX to stay strong/grow.

But we have the say in what goes down as those dicks have no idea about what they are doing and think that premium is the best end of.

I don't think people like that help at all, I will never except them as true riders. You can tell the difference between someone who cares about the sport & the community and the ones that don't.

There are companies out there that are all about the riding and riders an they in it for the right reasons, I'd rather have a few dedicated companies to choose to buy from than hundreds of different less quality ones that have no integrity or history in bmx.

I hate that something I'm so passionate about gets called industry, even tho it is that way. Its just not the way I see it, its a lifestyle.

I dunno maybe I should just chill out and not let stuff like this get to me, maybe I take it all too seriously, I just feel like I have a responsibility to protect the things I love.

They left.
It's summer where most of the forum-goers are, so they ride.
We do, some are just out riding or doing things.
Some prefer color and fashion, some prefer function.
I joke around a lot.
I don't ask a lot or put in things I will not do/go with.
I only ride for fun. I will never be a pro rider.
Because of stupid kids who have the "I am better than you and know everything and refuse to show respect to anyone" attitude and honestly the glorification of the partier lifestyle. That's where the lack of respect to us comes from.

Plus, wear your damn helmets.

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.

Women can be exquisitely beautiful..... I think I watched a sort of comedy porno on Netflix earlier today O_o? You know what I learned? It's ok to be kinky..... there's nothing wrong with a little spanking...... Every living thing needs some sort of attention. I think I'm into freaky girls something might be wrong with me....

Idk why that came up ^^^ it's totally irrelevant to your post but instead of deleting it I'll just leave it there, speaking my mind i guess. Anywayz your right do what you love and do it well. I have no idea what the sweet shot out program is but if people like it why not =)

Also on a more serious note don't completely give up on the world around you because you are part of the world around you. To give up on the world around you means to give up on yourself since you're a part of the world around you =)

yes, actually don't completely lose faith in anything. things always change, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
sweet shoutouts is a non profit program that i started just last week. each saturday, i honor a new member of vitalbmx whom i feel deserves some recognition. unfortunately, a lot of people don't seem to like the program .

This is great. I'm so glad you said this, I couldn't agree more. I watched Chad Kerleys part in that one dvd and it fucking sucked. Same with Stevie, Mike Spinner etc. You said it perfect dude. A bunch of fucking jocks riding bikes. I still listen to punk, hardcore, metal etc. not that bullshit that Oss plays in every video I have long hair and dress how I like. Skateboarding and BMX have both started fucking sucking the past few years. Not the sport but the kids who get into it. A bunch of jocks, swagfags and wanna be thugs who jerk off to little wayne and wiz khalifa. I let them be as well, fuck em I don't care I just won't ride with them. I do my own thing and don't follow trends. I don't even watch bmx videos anymore honestly, it's all the same boring shit now. I watch older videos if anything. The music fucking sucks now some boring classic shit or rap/ hipster shit. I couldn't agree with ya more man.

Rap doesn't work with this slow paced "tech" crap as they call it. But you gotta admit it can be pulled off. You put a Papoose track with an edit from Edwin and that shit works!
