![Re:fixed Sciatica / lost 10lbs in 4 weeks from BMX](http://bmxactiononline.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=26&func=view&\"All the people around me kept saying I should buy a 12 speed...\"[IMG]http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss344/Outlaw9111/Roadbikesdrunkdriver.jpg[/IMG]){kind=link}
![Re:How hard is it to build Hype in racing!!!!!](http://bmxactiononline.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=26&func=view&Sit back and grab a juicebox..just my opinion but i\'m curious about other thoughts. Don\'t know if hype is the longterm answer to Bmx survival but here goes..
When young we idolized adults and would mimic them with the \"few\" avenues that were available at the time late 60\'-mid 80\'s..young sport activities like bmx was an extension of adults on MX motorcycles.
Kids today already have exposure to many adult activities now with the ease of technology so there uninterested in basic things we had that required physical work or training...it\'s all about immediate gratification, social contact with phones and the internet vaccuum..don\'t forget to throw in the $5 Whipped Mocha Vanilla Swirl with a Bananna On Top Starbucks Coffee everyday...a little pick me up because you finished your homework.
Oz, you can pay me in Montana Cowchips for this endorsement later :)
Oz was and is still the king of Bmx \"hype\"..although Scot B. could probably give \'em all a run for the money on a good day...I don\'t really like that word hype because it sounds like it\'s built on lack of substance and I don\'t think it applies here.
Oz has a way with taking the norm and raising it to another level of \"legitimate\" passion as opposed to \"hype\" There\'s his unrivaled photography (nuff said!!)..creative imagery and colorful words, great humour and poetic description, then throw in some classic drama and truth ..hard to find that kind of spectrum now in current entertainment.
It\'s become just a blanket of Major label hype and formula with no legitimate substance to sustain it, in mags, in sports (the Superbowl is becoming a big commercial), mainstream movies, music and arts, suffering from no talent or wit, just sampling and rehashing for a dwindling profit, just to please investors ...good thing the creative Independent market is starting to reap the benefits of technology, from the internet and now leveling the playing field.
If your looking for what kicked Bmx into high gear, then the elements may be right here, history repeats itself and may be what\'s needed for the future of Bmx to survive.. Variety, Risk and Excitement, at some point Bmx got streamlined out for faster wrap up time, efficiency and profit. ..not a family spectator sport now if you asked me...just run \'em and get home.
From a spectator vantage..I always thought Bmxa was different than the copycat bmx publications, of course it needed to make a profit as most things but had real entertainment..out the wazoo!! It had a humorous comic book vibe to it, as a kid it allowed you to escape and you could identify with an adult.. What 12 year old is called Richie \"The Avalanche\" Anderson or \"Racin Jason\" Jensen in the real world...that was the coolest thing since sliced bread Ted.
In Bmxa it seemed like there was always a good guy and a villian duking it out somewhere..Captain Cosmo fighting crime...names like Building Leaping Jones ..the Showdown with Patterson and McNeal in Elkhart IN...the ongoing Stu and Greg rivalry...The \"Cruisers Suck\" Debate....Next Verse Same As The First, Little Bit Louder, Little Bit Worse! Oz could write it and Haro could draw it like no other.
It\'s great to see bmxactiononline.com (thanks Greg and Oz) and the unique members involved compared to other sites.. with some real bmx racing action and threads, stories and racing pics, and the strong personalities that it required to accomplish all of this throughout the years, not to mention the sacrifices involved (40 years of documented bmx history for everyone to enjoy).
Being a late \'70s-80\'s racer (rather than strictly a bike collector) the racing action, pics and stories are what was and is BMX, not an offshoot..hard for me to just look at a bike and talk about a vintage NOS seatclamp for hours, there\'s a place for that here onsite or elsewhere if that\'s you\'re thing too...to each his own, the more the merrier.
Regarding the Bmx sanctions promoting a lot of lack luster racing nowadays..When anything becomes too profit motivated and efficient then the quality suffers... maybe some balance is required to make it interesting again. IE: Independent involvement and new tracks with a different goal (Fun and Profit)...Make it a spectator sport again, a little gravel for upsets and surprises, knock out half the jumps and throw some Energonics Gold lube down on the berms for fun, a free 6 pack of Schlitz instead of trophies, have red headed hippie jump his bike down a 50 foot Bansai drop with tight shorts while racing:P . I can\'t remember the last time I saw a kid walking around the pits with a raspberry on his kneecap from a bermslide and a big grin.
Would be nice to see things come full circle, if and when kids get tired of tech excess then something as simple as going outside and riding a bike with friends may seem like their on another planet...Now go hug a tree! :)

Greg, I\'m doing great, we just got done with some track changes for next season and I\'m looking forward to getting back on the bike next spring.
Looking forward to having you out again in \'08.
