So today at school people were talking shit about me riding bmx and saying shit about it being a sport for thugs and douche bags and so the administration got involved and this is word for word what they told me "Ethan why? Do you think it is acceptable to bring an atrisk child's sport into the halls of this institution/ blah blah blah/ did you think any good would come of this?/ I highly doubt your parents would appreciate this dirt Baggish nonsense" I was literally like "wait what the fuck did you just say to me?" So much for going to a rich private school, when you get called out for what you do on your own time.wtf and my parents support my riding cause it gets me out of the house just like motocross does to.
That just really pisses me the fuck off!
And I didn't even act like a lil shit back to them cause I figured they'd just think worse of bmx.
I don't know what to do now?

There are so many things that can be done with that information, BUT I think you are leaving information out to make it seem like they just ganged up on you.

If the administration is doing that, get to the highest person you possibly can and tell them you were persecuted for your HEALTHY outside of school activites. If they ask how it is healthy, tell them you are out getting exercise, unlike many of your peers.

They call it a child's sport, I would mention that kids play football, basketball, hockey, whatever else your school is known for, and ask them why a sport like hockey (which is INCREDIBLY violent) is ok, but riding a bike isn't (especially with guys like Alberto Contador, Lance Armstrong and other professional cyclists)? Have them explain what those guys (especially the BMXers) are doing wrong.

Sport for thugs, show them Mike Spinner, Ryan Nyquist, Dave MIrra, and ask them if the suburban white males that are in this sport are "thugs".

Ask them if it is a child sport, how come a majority of the successful riders are adults?

Put up all the information you have.

Take it to the principal or president of the school, get your parents involved, and START RECORDING ENCOUNTERS like what you stated. If you can secretly record them, post it on youtube with the school names, get it to the news, and get some people in trouble for their actions. Private schools are not above everything, they still answer to education laws, and in many cases, the school district.

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.

1 thing you'll understand once you get to know me I never leave anything out, due to the fact that I was bullied for three years and I had to document, and write down everything that was happening to me and I'm I tell the whole story not just the good parts!
Thanks for the advice though and yeah it's really fucked up.

Yea, document it, and request a different school.

Sounds a little ridiculous honestly. I have never had that happen, but I went to public school where they don't really care what you do outside of the school grounds.

tell anybody who says shit that it ain't their bu'ness and don't even try explaining what bmx is all about, it's pointless
just ignore them, you don't have to explain shit to nobody

They have no right to tell you what to do out of school unless it's illegal.
End of the story.

I dont see why everyone cares so much about bmx not being popular or if someone views it bad or makes fun of them. Its riding bmx, an independent sport not some gay ass sports team. Skaters get it way worse. Ride your bike dont worry about what people think.

he goes to a private school. of source he's a rich white kid. But in all honesty. if you go to a private school it will look like a thug/gangster sport. because most bikers now listen to rap, sag, and all other "gangster" things. just ignore it and move on. If they keep going on about it. then tell somebody
