I wish I had a nickel for every one of these threads.

There have been talks with X-Games people as early as almost 4 years ago.

Still no X-Games.

Hmmmmm.

 

I quit school cuz of recess

I DONT PLAY NO GAMES

 

haha, thats hardcore ****

 

yeah those fmx guys are pretty core.....hell i live a block away from deegans house and he will be out there riding with casts on.....thats nuts.....this sport definately has a long way to go but i think that it should be atleast recognized as and extreme sport.

 

just once i'd like to see one of these threads be all positive,no more blah blah i want it to stay unserground cuz thats whats cool just post positive and post ways you could help the sport or don't post at all

 

 

Notice how many 20 and under types posts those replys.

 

im gonna have to disagree with the "its not as difficult" comment. its just not as dangerous. I have always likened our sport to flatland bmx, where-as FMX is like bmx dirt jumping. Flatland takes sooo much skill and finess to be at the top, where-as bmx dirt jumping just takes big ***** (dont get me wrong, it takes a lot of skill, but just not the same level of control and finess). same with our sport. the top guys display an amazing amount of control over their bike. in my opinion, FMX takes more ***** and courage than an outright display of finess.

now dont think im hatin on FMX, or calling it easy. i possess neither the ***** NOR the skill on a dirt bike to do that chit. I love what they do, and i own several vids.

diddo bmx dirt jumpers

NOW think, how many times have YOU watched flatland verses bmx dirt jumping? i have always preferred flatland, but when was the last time flatland was on TV? couldnt tell ya. when was the last time bmx dirt jumping was? only every X-games.

now, theres always the wild card (my personal fav) bmx street course. and there are events like the starboyz throw that kinda throw that element in, and the crowd seems to really love it. you know like last man standing, last man sitting, and their obstacle course, the crowd loves that because it breaks the monotony(to them not us). i think that kind of original thinking will make what we do more sell-able to the public (if thats what you want).

i love this sport and would be happy either way (undergroung or making money at it)

thats my more like a buck o five but whatever.......

do you have any pics of you riding....if so, post em up

 

kids, kids, kids.....i remember when i was 17

 

exactly what i was thinking....why are all the kids posting up stuff like "then all the little kids would be at are spot doing burnouts"....hey, maybe your that kid

 

all the pics i have right now is garbage stuff from summer and fall,im hoping to get some video once it gets warmer out.

 

Thanks for the props bro. Yea more people need to get it off the flat land. I've trying to do other **** as often as possible to see if this can go anywhere else. where's the small lip back flip at? someone better do it. the bike needs maybe a speed bump w/ all the power how sick would that be in the super market parkinglot ????

 

well look at flat land freestyle BMX. its in the xgames but gets very little play. and theres some amazing skill and balance going on there! its just not high flyin fun.... f?ckin sucks but damn.... i guess ill just quit ridin and start doin crack.... hahaha but seriously for right now its xsba way or the highway. at least theres a format a purpose to stuntin and a goal for the riders. big sponsors like sports with goals. there easier to promote as a package. if they have to put alot of time into us its just not worth it AT THIS TIME..... we gotta get a more presentable package for someone to buy into the sport. the skills are growin. hell i even learned a new trick the other day. hell if sync. swiming can be in the olympics we gotta shot at something big.

 

opinions are like ******* every one has one and yours definitely stinks
it wasn't negative it was an opinion
think about all the fmx heads who lost there spots cuz some guy that saw it on TV decided he wanted to try the kiss of death at the local dunes..................... and now u cant ride there .............. don't be an ******* listen to what everyone has to say, that's why we post
And this is why this site is turning in to a joke

 

listen bitch
who the fick r u????? NOBODY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey your moulth is runnin
BETER GO CATCH IT

just cuz i am 20 years old and u r 26 (witch is no fu(king dif) does not make u any smarter or any beter at riding
so eat a big fack dick *******
and keep distroying this website

 

i feel that the sport came become huge. the key is to put butts in the seats. that what the promoters,sponsors,etc.. what and need. there are alot of people watching what happens at the show in texas. if you ask anyone that races professionaly (and ask them to be honest) they will tell you that they are entertainers. racing is a small part of it. it is the same with us. you need to entertain the fans. a christ is a easy trick but the fans love to see it. give them high energy,excitement, personality and they will come back to see more. clear channel motorsports is the #1 promoter in the world. watch one of their events. app. 2 1/2 hours long, high energy, not much down time, things like that. i will be racing in houston the first weekend in jan.. ralient stadium will be sold out 50,000 + fans goin nuts. that is what the promoters want butts in the seats.

 

Well put CBO.

Also, "real" sponsors have trouble biting on this sport with "real" funding. With no influx of some serious funding ($$$$$) it's tough to achieve many of the goals people hope to reach. Sad but true. I hope as much as anyone that things will eventually blow up for those who deserve it.

 

we need more professional type people doing this. It is going to take someone with a good business sense to make make it really get it off the ground. Todd Colbert has it going the right way and we need more like him. Even though he's old he is still my daddy.

 

I dont see it happening real soon but definately see it as a possibility, i mean damn if ping pong can be in the olimpics and damn sure think that stuntin can end up in the x-games
