Edit: This graphic, which was a quick 5 minute photoshop job, has been a large focus for a lot of criticism lately… Sadly, more than the words. This graph is not accurate at all, and was simply just a form of showing that there are more and more knock off BMX brands popping up every day producing more and more products causing there to be more supply than demand.

After doing the first BMX Economics piece a few weeks back, I really wasn’t sure what could go into a part 2 since there were so many things brought up in the comments that could lead into a ton of different directions. Then today I came across not one, but two separate pieces that really sparked some things that I think might open a few peoples eyes to “solutions” to the current state of BMX… Let’s go into this one again!
