I'm pretty bummed the photo thread in the non-riding photo/video section is gone. Only thread I actually cared about. Bikeguide already sucked and it just got buried. I think it may be time to waste my internet time elsewhere.

Also, just noticed my post count dropped from over 1000 to 647. Dumb thing for me to be kind of upset about.

Photo/Multimedia section although it declined very much. There used to be so many talented photographers on here, but just a few are left.

Yeah, that place was awesome. Now dead, like the rest of bg.

Non-riding Photo/Video/Multimedia Forum / FOR SALE: Canon 1D mkIV

« on: February 22, 2015, 12:40:56 PM »

Canon 1D mkIV

Has some physical wear but is completely functional. Basically just some paint worn off around the edges. The small lcd screen on the back has a very tiny crack that is hardly noticeable.

I bought it used from Adorama a few months ago with an Adorama warranty in its current condition.
Current shutter count is ~116,500 and will continue to rise as I use the camera almost daily. Shutter is rated for 300,000 so plenty of life left.

Includes battery, charger, and body cap.

Camera is a work horse and super awesome for sports or anything fast paced.

$2000.00

Only thing that sucks ass about imgur is that you can't resize the photo on the site directly.

Yes you can.
Usually, if you just pick the "large thumbnail" size, it works out fine.

(tried to crop the photos on photobucket but they go back to the original on here for some reason)

you, and everyone, should use imgur.  best image hosting site ever.
Image size seems fine for me but i have a pretty large monitor.

If this is the future of bmx then I don't want to be a part of it. BMX does not need to be commercialized any more than it is. We don't need more skateparks or our sport to be in the spotlight, we need more companies that give a shit about us rather than just trying to make a quick buck.

I'm sure every skater quite riding when Bam or Ryan Sheckler got a TV show. I'm sure every snowboarder quit riding after Shawn White got a clothing line at Target.

Quit being upset and realize that companies might be able to care about riders more if they have a little more money.
Or just quit riding, because I'm sure no one would care if you did.

If that's the face of bmx, I am truly ashamed to ride a little bike. I obviously still love it and will continue to do so, but I am worried about the future of bmx. That is all.

Right now, I'm sure when most people think of BMX, I'm sure they think xgames or the mega ramp. I'm sure that accurately describes every street rider...
BMX will still be BMX. When someone sees Nigel ride down the road, I'm sure people think "oh that's terrible" when you can go watch Colt Fake have beer poured in his mouth as he tries to pull some girls bra off or Sean Burns drop his bike on some bums head. Though Nigel isn't the best rider or dress as ratty as most bmx riders, he is more of a street rider than most bmx riders that have had any mainstream recognition before.

Nigel, getting some recognition outside of BMX isn't going to change the sport because a few more kids might be at the park than usual and maybe only one of them might actually stick with it. And I hardly doubt it will give it an image worse than what it could be. Honestly, how is that any different than now? Most kids that rode around here quit after 2-3 years.

You can say Bam didn't do shit for skating because he didn't dump all his money back into the sport. But the fact that he happened, didn't change skateboarding forever. It just got idiot kids, who think doing rad, stupid shit is fun(basically the basis of bmx), to go buy an Element board. And indirectly put some money into the skateboarding industry.
