Bestwick in Levis
chromeOrange:
Some interesting comments on this thread. Like most I thought the Levi's DVD was great. Hadn't thought really hard about the hi-corporate sponsership thing until now...
Someone said they don't / wouldn't read DIG magazine. Why? When I got back into BMX'ing in the late 90's I really enjoyed reading DIG. And the last issue was really good too. Is it because it is just so far removed from Old School? I prefer to keep an interest in both camps if it is - don't want to give up the last flourish of youth just yet...
These new riders, kids really, and doing some amazing things with their bikes. Hopefully there will always be progression in BMX regardless of the monies involved...
Mark.

It's funny, to me Dig always stood for the rider owned companies etc. , now the editor is TM for Nike 6.0

I too was surprised to learn that many members on here refuse to read both Dig and Ride I suspect your right about it being because its so removed from oldschool but sure there will be other reasons.
I myself feel the same when it drops through the letterbox as i did 25 years ago when bmxactionbike dropped, I think many just wont give n/s a chance.
I think the progression thing has been proved as some of the biggest progression in bmx took place during the dead years.

Totally agree & I think all sponsored riders who ride for non BMX, corporate co's should milk them for all they can get! with regard to the Levi's film, some of the posing footage in their jeans 'product' was really quite sickening in a blatantly using BMXer's as a vehicle to sell more product stylee.
cynical moi?
