Old School BMX 1980 - 1988 > Old School Freestyle (frame stands and kickturns galore!)
joe kid...missing footage..
retrogeezer:
I think it's great!
You have to bear in mind it is US history, not the UK (thats why it's not called Joe Kid on a Grifter/Chopper) and it was cool to see all the backgound and stuff that happened before it hit the UK shores.
Yes, it misses the UK and a lot from the 80's but we have that to look forward to in the next instalment (hopefully!)
winnit93:

union:
im not talking about the uk-read the first post for more info
88 onwards is bullshit uk or no uk...sorry i dont mean to be
offensive.
i really enjoyed the early stuff too,what i am saying is....they
shouldnt have bothered with the later stuff and spent more
time on the 80's...and not called it the history of bmx.

about the joe kid dvd-a dvd which i really enjoyed,but
there are MASSIVE holes in it,especially from the late
80's onwards,i rode right through all the way,started
mid 80's and kept going,i saw all the changes and re
developements,but the one thing i thought was totally
rushed was all the stuff from 88 to present day-made
me really angry-they didnt care about the most important
days the days when no one rode-well a few rode,thats
when everything was revolutionised and grew into
something that progressed into what it is now,
anyway too much but just wandered if any one else thought
this or even rode through this??if someone was going to
do a uk version,you would have to focus heavily on these
dark days,cause they were so important.

Dead right! More important stuff happened between 90 and 95 than most people know, and i'm not just talking UK you had the most commited riders pushing the sport for little or (most of the time) no money, the level of riding we see today was started in that time period and the Rider Owned Company (Standard, S&M) took the BMX bike to amazing levels of quality and strength (a lot of o/s frames died in this period too :( ) All I know is that I was there and witnessed the true birth of BMX.

fookin too right,and do listen to bill hicks.
