thats cool thanks for posting it :daumenhoch:
id love to have a copy of that book!
-
Thanks, this is probably the only way to own a copy.
There's a thread over at VBMX about this, must say I totally agree with some of the less productive comments about it. But maybe there'll be a softcover copy someday that we can just about afford?
I want the RAD version. Not exactly sure if it'll happen or if it's just speculation/rumour/wishing, but it should.
-
WOW!
That was just awesome - just spent the last hour clickin' and zoomin'!
Would LOVE a copy of this book!
RAD version?? Tell me more....
I have LOTS of photo's!! :LolLolLolLol:
-
What would it need? A sponsor for the publishing costs, permission from the original owners & contributors (that'll likely be more expensive than it would have been if the Freestylin' one hadn't been done), contributions from notable riders, someone to do the layout and the text... Anything else?
It was mentioned when I was out with Andy B. last week. I've no idea if it's a real thing or what, but I'd love to be involved or at very least be responsible for gathering interest in the possibility. We need it, there's a bunch of ex-riders with some disposable income. Some of them still ride or have a bike, and the RAD version could maybe include that aspect of the sport. Didn't anyone else think a current portrait of the riders in Freestylin' might've been a good idea?

Thanks for posting this...... I can still remember buying issue 1 of Freestylin back in the day and still actually have the exact magazine to this day, I remember where I bought it and how I felt when I read it......quite wierd and such an honour to get a pic of me printed in there years later. Pure class..... I would love a copy of the Book

I know one went for $250 on eBay a couple of weeks ago, fairly cheap I thought
-
That does sound cheap, are you sure you watched it till the end?
I think there has only been one up on Ebay and it went for almost 3 times that :shocked:

I'd like a copy...but not that bad..
-
Im lucky enough to have a copy. I havent been that excited about the postman turning up at the house, ever?!!! With regard to the thread "over there" I think its BS to be honest, I mean seriously just because you bought the magazine before you turned your back on BMX you deserve one now? The only thing that gets me is that they didnt have the foresight to make a list of deserving people in BMX to hand this book out to instead of the toss who put his straight on ebay. There are a lot of people in BMX who deserve a copy & wont get one & yet these tits get one & havent a clue. I have spoken with 5 people who have a copy & they all said it is something they will never part with. Ferk it, I have a copy! You get my point anyway, Im going for a drink....
-
hhmm, just had another flick through, and it is bloody good. Would I pay £300 for a copy???? still not sure
didnt they come in a big Beijing Box?
-
some came in a box with a pair of Nike's
