Roll call for the old lurkers...

Sup. I even work in a bikeshop now where half the staff are BMXers and the owner is 100% mid school BMX. Still haven't ridden properly in a few years.

Man, I only check this site like once or twice a month now since it is so inactive. I used to stare at my monitor for hours just cruising this site because it was basically a glorified chat room.
The Google Ad-Sense raid killed damn near half the frequent posters and then the switch from VBulliten to this new forum software killed half of the remaining users. That and social media is taking the world by storm, but even as a younger dude, I still enjoy the forum aspect where it is a smaller knit community so you can actually get to know some of the people rather than a site like Reddit where you're lucky to see the same person twice.
Even when I wasn't riding, this was my most frequented site because we could be raw and unfiltered. I remember trying to fit in as like a 14 year old among adults and it rarely worked out but I feel like in a weird way it shaped me up into a cooler person to be around. RIP BG.

13 years. Not logged in for 3. Might be back now though...
Stopped using the forum because life got busy.
Had two jobs, met a girl, lost my dad, rehomed his dog, built a house, left the bike trade, got married, manage a bottle shop now, still ride a lot, have a kid on the way, pretty much shoot zero photos anymore, film a lot, drink all the beer. Any questions?
Aesop Rock:
I miss this place.
