I think you are going to find most mtbers have a respect for what bmxers can do. They can't do all the things we can do and we can't currently do what they do. It is really two very different types of riding and skills.

Besides he is probably young and doesn't realize the potential of using BOTH. I don't, can't and have never bmxed but I realize its impact in the sport of mtbing and respect that impact.

As for the diamondback mtb. Well....hmmm....Diamond back makes awesome bmxes.
