I think it's very easy to critique the finished thing; it was never going to be perfect but at least someone had a crack at it. As Lazarou said the years when it was dead as fook, those were the times when things really, really kicked off. I returned to it at the end of 93 and was, and remain astounded by what is possible. There is a whole filmsworth just following 1989-90 onwards, and a completely different sort of film also.
I thought Joe Kid was good, just like I thought Dogtown was good. I bet there's plenty of skaters out there who feels similarly towards that film..., but i think its cool that these films were made at all :)
I'd like to see 'The History of Rider Owned Companies' - now that might be the film we all expect to see 8) :)

Joe Kidd is American, they started this game long before we did so what do you expect? if you want a film about the British scene you're gonna have to make it yourself.
I think Hoffman's book encapsulates the dead years somewhat, i rode a bit through the summer of 91 or 92 i can't remember which and i still kick myself for not keeping it up. That whole underground scene. i used to see a couple of the guys that i rode with as a kid still out and about on their bikes in Dartford in the late 80's early 90's and i'd always say hello and ask them how the scene was going and where they were riding. Trouble is i was to busy being cool and getting high to really commit.
BMX was always in my heart all the way through but i think i was more worried about what others thought about it and it took me till my 30's to grow up enough to not give a monkeys what others thought. hehe now i want to do it but my body says no. mid life crisis, you gotta love it.
