get yourself the 'dorkin' box set, available from alans or dircet from mark eaton, same guy whos making the Joe kid film

its a wicked 10 part box set, lots of 80's flatland and street with some cool ramp action from a young dave mirra - the music is tops too, oldskool hardcore, electro, etc :D

cheers rich

Get the Dorkin set definitely ! Highly recommended !  The price may seem a bit steep but when you consider how much is on there and the amount of info in the commentary, then it's worth every penny. 8)

Also get the Hoffman triple set: Ride on, Head First and Aggroman. On the selection screen, leave the remote alone and after a while a 'secret' video appears with lots of old footage and out-takes from the films. The bits with Dave Nourie and Dave Voelker are fantastic, as is the Joe Gruttola section. A bargain at under £20. :)

cool i will get it done and work out a fair price for radbmx members!

also on that vid:

bill stupple does his signature move "the stupple"
scary scary "home made" freestyle music (has to be heard to be believed)
fair few chats with young riders prior to comp (see anyone you know?)
andy preston tells how freestyle is only a year old (in 1984)
giant handlebars for all
mike pardon says ground tricks are boring
some nerd tells you where to oil your bike
woeful commentary
lots of hops

great stuff
