That said, if you're paid to ride your bike, you're a pro, right? At least by my definition.<BR/><BR/>Agreed that the general quality level of completes is terrific—and that pretty much anyone could ride an out-of-the-box "pro" bike. And it's amazing that so many companies offer brakeless completes. Never imagined that ever happening.<BR/><BR/>Not sure how I feel about the Simple stuff.

I also recall United keeping Nathan Williams off the pro team until he had put in enough work to be considered a "pro" (whatever that means). Seems like a good strategy to me. I hate to say it, but I kinda like that bike (minus the top tube angle and seat) because it just seems to be such an improvement over the shit completes that were available when I was young. I remember paying like, $600 for a Redline that didn't even have 3 piece cranks, and having my color options limited to chrome ooooor...chrome. I just appreciate all the money that's in bmx these days, and how it helps kids get started on something that isn't complete shit (I mean, they have to be kids in this shitty time, why not let 'em have a cool bike).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-76827984247220261642008-08-11T12:28:00.000-04:002008-08-11T12:28:00.000-04:00There's a pro/am debate?There's a pro/am debate?Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648040810233420802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-50041993477260462062008-08-11T12:17:00.000-04:002008-08-11T12:17:00.000-04:00this is also one of the more recent FBM videos.this is also one of the more recent FBM videos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-63470386698994012632008-08-11T11:20:00.000-04:002008-08-11T11:20:00.000-04:00did anyone catch Lino's interview in the new Dig? ...did anyone catch Lino's interview in the new Dig? had some really interesting comments on the pro/am debate in bmx.bkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247418130398315964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-81442031238571121452008-08-11T10:55:00.000-04:002008-08-11T10:55:00.000-04:00dont get me wrong im not saying that anyone does o...dont get me wrong im not saying that anyone does or does not deserve signature stuff<BR/><BR/>just seems that everyone who owns a bmx has their own line of parts these daysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-54369154536383002582008-08-11T10:16:00.000-04:002008-08-11T10:16:00.000-04:00Bearing in mind they've just released their "Fashi...Bearing in mind they've just released their "Fashionable" bar pad, it really wouldn't surprise me if there were some Spinner signature stuff in the works.
