    Which is why he said its "BMX ala Dogtown...". Its about BMX'ing in the same way Dogtown is about skateboarding.

    Well I recieved Joe kid in the post yesterday and watched it last night after work.It is a very good film documenting the beginnings of the sport.Interviews throughout with all the top pros down through the years.It teaches alot of new things,that I did not know like Eddie Fiola was the first guy to drill his stem bolt to allow the bars to spin without brake cables getting tangled,Bob Haro invented freestyle riding,you see a interview with the first guy to ride a pool on a bmx.
    If there is one film you buy on dvd this year this has to be it!!!
