2005 Mongoose Hoop D is one hanging out waiting to be built in a BMX buildoff. I think it may have caught a BB gun at some point in its life. 32-9 gearing.
Next build off………

Dec : off
Jan (1st)-Mar : ORBO and SWBO (off road and skinny)
Apr : off
May-July : annual build-off with class 1/class 2 as usual

Thanks for the reminder!

Got my frame put aside, impatiently waiting for the build off
SWBO likely to be 25mm maxx tire width?
Exact rule set still in the works but not that skinny
@Captain Awesome
So it seems the decision has been made by You that BMX buildoffs have no place on RatRodBikes.com at all??
Not sure where you got that from
The consensus of the responses I saw was that BMX should be included in the ORBO
Hmmm. BMX isn't an ORBO klunker nor a Bomber, but it's own class. That's what I thought the consensus was. In the past it was always its own class, was it not?
Just as a snapshot here is one past set of rules

All rolled into one
This seemed to sum it up best

After re-reading the 2016 rules for that ORBO, they do mentioned park and tricks. I should let it go if those are the rules.
Later years it was separated.out and ran along.side of the MBBO.
Apologies. A bit passionate about the topic.

No decision here is decided by @Captain Awesome there decided by the mods and admins as whole behind closed doors in threads members don't see. So weather it's regarding an individual or a build off good or bad is never solely on @Captain Awesome but all of us he just happenens to be the best messager my English sucks. So please remember if something is decided that you don't like (not saying that's what's happening here) be upset with all the mods and admins.
As far as BMX and such my personal opinion is run it with say muscle bikes a sort of urban weapons things mountain bikes for flying down stairs BMXs for flying off ramps water fountains all that fun stuff that drives normal people nuts save offroad for getting dirty playing in the mud but that's just my opinion
@Captain Awesome please accept my apology, I should not have called you out that way. No excuse for me being a buthead.
