Picture 2005 X-Dance Film Festival Selected feature film 2005 Santa Barbara Film Festival 90 Minutes Joe kid on a Sting-Ray –The History of BMX BMX
is an acronym for Bicycle Motocross. This film documents the evolution of a sport created by kids who [in the
1970’s] began modifying their Schwinn Sting-Ray bicycles to look like
motorcycles. This documentary is
the first film to take a serious look at the history and evolution of BMX bicycle
riding, from the streets of 1960s suburban neighborhoods to today's
stadium-packed televised Dirt, Street & Halfpipe insanity. The
sport of BMX is driven by individual riders. BMX is not made by corporations;
instead corporations base their advertising on the lifestyles of these riders.
This film captures the kind of stories that cannot come from a marketing
strategy, coaches or statistics buffs - but rather from the individual guys who
turned common street bikes into instruments of grace, strength and personal
expression. The individuals who started races and freestyle contests
themselves. It is the individualism and self-expression of these riders that makes the
sport's history, and this film, so unique. With
people like Scot Breithaupt who started the first organized races in Long Beach
in 1970, to Bob Haro, who pioneered BMX Freestyle riding, and created the first
BMX freestyle bike, to Mat Hoffman, who’s personal sacrifices helped propel BMX
stunt riding into the spotlight. These are some of the people who helped make
BMX such a unique subculture. Joe Kid on a Stingray –The History of BMX allows everyone from veteran Pro BMXers
to modern day kids, a chance to relive these important moments and stories
explained by the sport’s most influential riders so that they understand what
really happened in the evolution of BMX. The directors have assembled a 30yr
timeline packed with rare archival footage and interesting interviews to create
a film which explores the history, trends, stars, and current direction of BMX
stunt riding and racing. Joe Kid on a Sting-Ray delivers a historical
perspective to the sport of BMX, but brings it to you in such a way that makes
you feel like you were there.
