~~ RETRO / Modern Replica / Custom Build BMX PROJECTS ~~

For the purposes of the BOTY, we'll define the era of eligibility for this class as 2000 to present, though concessions may be made for earlier bikes with fitting attributes, that make them more at home here. The guidelines for submission are to be found here: Rules & Guidelines 2010. The winner of the retro and new school category does not vie for the over all title which is open to the Old School classes only. It's a self contained honor for this class only.

ADDITIONAL CRITERIA & INFORMATION ON THIS CATEGORY:
Bikes that would belong in this class are modern fabricated bikes that are modeled on old school bikes and have incorporated an old school aesthetic or were custom fabricated according to the entrant's imagination / customized vision. Bikes in this class are not bikes that actually existed historically. Examples of this would be bikes like the SE retro line, the Supercross made skunk works projects, certain Kappa or VRP (or other Sal made projects) or some of the bikes made by Knight. Other examples would include heavily altered examples of actual old school frame sets that have been customized with frame or fork modifications into a pit bike, a cruiser or anything other than it's original wheel base size. If you have a bike like this, it must be entered into this Retro/Custom class. Please do not enter a custom fabricated frame in the era designated classes.

Please follow the guidelines to the letter. Entries that break the rules will be deleted and you will have to re-submit. Also, take special note of the schedule for submission, cut off and voting.

If GJS actually made a cruiser back in the day this is what it would look like.

This frame was made by Supercross back in 2005 and they only made 27 frames. 2 of the 27 went to Mr GJS himself Jeff Utterbach and only 25 was sold to public. Built with Old school geometry from a OM Flyer and still utilizing the old school sizing: 1" threaded headset, 7/8" seatpost etc.

this is frame #6

I built this as my family truckster daily rider! 2005 made frame with all old school parts still rocking the old school flair!
