BMX video piracy

- Interesting stuff, if you haven't already read it

Personally I think when one of your mates buys the genuine article, then copies it and circulates to select friends this is OK, but when everyone just watches them on Google Video/You Tube you can see why video makers get pissed off.

Having watched Forward the other day, for the first time in about a year, and through surround sound for a first time too (in my new gaff) I can safely say that I'm sold on DVD...and when I have more money I'll be happy to buy the real thing.

Now go ride!

P.S. Drainage ditch 10 mins train from my new place. More fun than most of the skateparks round here. Pictures up soon.

wow you can really tell the salty bastards from the ones with a bigger picture.

its wrong full stop. but one thing they havnt looked at is for a start over here its 20quid opposed to the 20dollars roughly 12pounds i imagine. so you pay your 20quid having not seen it or maybe just a preview, you watch it and it turns out to be shit - how cheated do you feel...

in an ideal world people could watch it for free on the net then once they know that its mustard go and buy it.

bring back the epics and lets see more of the 20minute small scale releases but still with high production values, hovis best of both
