d-town focused on a specific group of kids who pioneered a style of skateboarding that basically re-invented and re-invigorated the sport at the time. joe kid is different. the version i saw (note: not the final cut as i've heard they've done some final editing since) encompasses much more i.e. - a comprehensive look at the history of bmx and freestyle. from the early non-sanctioned beginnings to the x-factor that exists today. the footage is sick, the guests abound, and anyone who's had any remote interest in the sport should check this out. comparing it to dogtown misses the point entirely. measuring it against RAD? hehe, run along. joe kid has taken the baton and will probably run with it well into the future. kudos to mark and john for putting this all together. you've captured something special for the sport and you should be proud. - serge

I wouldn't exactly call it stealing, On Any Sunday and Endless Summer were both directed by Bruce Brown.

my point was that nobody is stealing **** from anybody...

Sweet.
Having never shredded a board of any type, I'll be able to relate more to this Joe Kid movie. Loved that old footage.
