Why it's so uncool?

No wonder BMX is so uncool. Kids go to Dew Tours to see skateboarders, and they see Bucky Lasek, Bob Burnquist (even though his clothes are somewhat wack) and Ryan Scheckler reppin' and lookin' cool.

When kids go to Dew Tours to see BMXers, they see old men rockin' shoes from Target, sportin' badminton racquets on their gear bags and searching for the nearest $1.99 Bud Lite Special. We should be better than this. It is for this reason that I think the vert category should be completely shut down.

The Ugliest BMX Shoe of the Day is:

UGP, The Orleans Shoe. Seriously dudes, how nerdy do you want us bmxers to look?

The 40 Year-Old Vert Rider (Jim Burgess)

Lotek and Circa: Coincidence?

The Ugliest BMX Shoe of the Day is:

The Lotek Troop in the Bob Scerbo colorway. Sick as fuck.

MOSTLY GAY?

I think these guys might be gay:

Chad Kagy/Kevin Robinson (lots of man love on the vert ramp deck)

the kid who does the comeup website (he's so afraid of being gay that he must actually be gay)

Nate Wessel (no explanation needed)

Top 5 Asian Riders

1. Clint Reynolds (only half Korean, but we let it slide)
2. Brian Terada (circa summer 2003)
3. Dave Osato
4. Kevin Porter
5. Edwin Delarosa

(My point is: where the hell are all the badass Asian BMXERS?)

MADE IN THE USA?

Just so you know, S&M's head tubes and bottom brackets are made in Taiwan. No joke. They put the made in the USA stickers on the seat tube cause the seat tube is actually made in the USA. Pretty smart, right?

Nigel Sylvester Mugshots

If I see this little bastard's mugshot in one more magazine, I'm gonna personally come out to Brooklyn and Feeel hiim upside the head.

Welcome!
