watch the trailer....

Sick!

BMX'n is cool, don't get me wrong, but I think I saw that movie when it was called Dogtown and Z Boys and it was about skateboarding...

I think this played at sundance, sadly, my buddys made me watch some film about two lesbians in San Francisco. I can't wait for this one to make it to DVD, anyone have a release date?

I thought the same at first, but I do believe it's important to see these pieces of history recorded for posterity and all that.
All this stuff touched so many of our lives..

I grew up riding a redline just like a lot of other dudes, but style-wise it looks like a rip off of Z Boys. I shouldn't be too harsh before I see the whole movie, but that was my first impression.

So it's a remake(maybe) of Peralta's movie, I'll still watch the thing with a big smile on my face.

narrated by Jesse James. Nice.

:swoon: he's so hot right now!

looks awsome, as mentioned above I too think it's impotant that old archived footage of classic events be peiced together to make a documentary for newer generations to see........ (even if it does take on that dog-town-z-boys aura of these guys thinking they invented extreme sports)...

they'd probably make one for inline skating as well if the interest was still there...its got history too but in recent years it seemed to fizzle out quite a bit

Like totally

dogtown was about a group of dudes in one small area. joe kid is about the history of bmx. it was happening everywhere and joe kid tries to show this. bmxers were in the pools with the zboys all the while but stacey chose to leave them out of the film as if they did not exist. bmx has already been around for about 1/3 the life of the bicycle and it will be in the 2008 olympics. mark felt the story should be told.

could be better if it was Sean Penn

I'm really looking forward to this movie, but the trailer makes it look like they copied Dog Town & Z-boys format super hard. Rad is quite possibly the best movie ever made (maybe not)

hey all the format haters.. just cause you watched karate kid.. doesnt mean you cant enjoy north shore.. movie formats are older then dirt.. if you dont like it.. you pretty much cant watch movies... but that footage they have looks amazing.. did anyone else rewind that first stylish stingray jump?

Originality counts for a lot IMHO. I can't wait to see that old footage.

so IYHO.. shoudl they have not made a bmx doc? cause theres a skateboard one already? imho dogtown sucked.. except for the footage it felt like one self congragalatory circle-jerk.. so im hoping this isnt the same.. but it is a doc. about the 70s growth of two similier sports with like histories.. so no matter what, i have a feeling people would have compared them.. which is not enoughh reason nnot to make it.. i think..

dogtown looked just like search for animal chin...
both were primarily shot by kids who didn't know what they were doing with a camera...
i'm still waiting for the trailer to load, but i'm assuming that will be the case here as well...

by the way complainers, popular culture just stole your bike... you have bigger things to whine about...

BICYCLE BOOGIE

correct me if im wrong.. but arent thhey both by the same person?

I'm stoked they made a BMX documentary. I'm sure it will be really good. But the trailer makes it look like a re-hashed Dogtown. But let me re-state, I AM STOKED THEY MADE A BMX DOCUMETARY.

well whoever's not on camera is probably the one doing the filming...

after watching the trailer,
stop whining... that movie looks awesome... and it looks like every other "history of" documentary ever made...

what i was saying is i think stacy peralta did all the powell videos.. and he did dogtown also, right? but i agree on the quit whining.. like dogtown.. its the footage you want to see..

i was referring mostly to the look of the camera work, rather than the direction and editing, but, word...

also, after feeling like a total ****er becuse i couldn't think of the name of another movie, i have remembered and i am gonna tell everyone saying this movie is biting dogtown to watch this one: on any sunday 1971, motorcycles, and steve mcqueen... if you wanna say that somebody stole from dogtown, then dogtown stole from this... and this stole from endless summer... but the connections between dogtown and any sunday are way more obvious...
