[donnydresser]

top film  realy cool history of bmx   i  also have curb dogs 1/  2  but these dont compare  with joe kidd . has anybody got barry on a grifter  seen it on ebay but its 20.00 is it any good

[subversion]

Yeah Barry on a Grifter is pretty good Quite flatland heavy (which is no bad thing imho)

[TwoBobRob]

The maker of Barry on a Grifter is a member on here.  Monkeybrains if my memory serves me correctly.  Whack a pm to him and he'll sort you out I'm sure.

Dorkin' 10 is a must-see too   

[Stodgy]

Barry on a Grifter is great - a real piece of raw UK BMX history...that together with the Backyard 6 disc set and you've got it covered.

Awesome.

I realise I seem to be on my own here but I wasn't impressed with Joe Kid I bought it when it came out watched it and never touched it since
Now barry on a grifter was a different kettleofish worth buying just for carlo's big air
I will try and watch Joe Kid again to give it the benefit of the doubt.

[spesh]

can we have bazza onna grifter in the rad shop for sale please as i want a copy

[TwoBobRob]

Joe Kidd does have some holes in it, but I'm sure a skater would say the same about DogTown and Z-Boys.   At least it got made eh?

[lodge]

Some good footage for sure but no way should it have "the history of bmx" on the box imo.

[TwoBobRob]

I know what you mean.

Have you seen Dorkin 10?

[keep it lit!]

Have you seen Dorkin 10?

Yeah have seen it but dont own it, thats true bmx history though eh.
I just thought joe kid was a an insult to the guys that rode right through the dead years (not saying i'm one of those btw)

[subversion]

Hmmm then I suppose you could say that Mark Eaton put out the Dorkin' series throughout 'the dead years' anyway? It was a tall order to cover every aspect & every facet of BMX since it's birth & imo I don't think they did a bad job of it!

[lodge]

Fair enough, mebbies was expecting too much, just remember feeling really dissapointed as the stuff at the beginning was good and then it seemed to end as it was getting warmed up missing a shed load out, as i have said i will watch it again.

got it queued up for tomorrow night here

Ok have watched again and feel i was out of order to say the above, as has been said it does have some holes but it was always going to have no matter who made it, yes i did enjoy it and i took more out of it second time round and to be honest there's alot in there so they did a good job covering what they did.
No easy task to make that vid i'm sure.

[Frosty]

I need to watch again, but one thing that does stick is the Wilkerson face plant

[Mattdub]

Cool cheers Matt, what time are we all invited round.   

[subversion]

Just watched it again this evening & the Kevin Jones footage prompted me to dig out Dorkin' 5 which I'm gonna check out in a bit...

I also think I took more from it this time around due to the stuff I've learnt from this site regarding the 70's & very early 80's before I ever got into it as a kid
