I am an old skool biker and my heydey was the nineties in their entirety, i miss the nineties so much and along with them, the videos you simply cannot get to work anymore, i need my fix of the videos of my youth, "getta grip" "dirty tricks and cunning stunts" "burning calves" and above all........ "dirt"

My copy doesnt play anymore, ive tried and i can only get "clouds" from the soundtrack, ive watched on youtube as someone has recorded the vhs and uploaded it, now the soundtrack is corrupted and doesnt work, im having my midlife crisis and turning to mtb'ing again and i need the vid/soudtrack from "dirt" to awaken my spirit and "gee" me up, please help where can i source a dvd converted copy, and no i dont mean the version ive just obtained from my mate on the "flow" mbuk dvd with a completely different soundtrack which is utter poo imo, please help me as someone must have converted it before the vhs gave out?


Help please boys and girls help me back and let me think of myself as a nineties inspired child again!





All help, advice graciously accepted!

    unfortunatly there are no legal copys of the Vid on DVD.

    due to licensing issues with the original sound track.

    Is that why the soundtrack has been romoved from youtube then?


    Such a shame if it is as i used to watch this vid before each and every ride with all my mates back in the day (as we all had a copy than ks to mbuk) and it gave us all the inspiration to ride, hell ive even got an unwatchable soundtrack fluttering away in the background now and the songs are class, i need to see this vid uninterrupted just once more in my life..........



    Im sure you can guess how much this video has meant in my life due to my sig and the fact that JMC was my idol and i still remember him today!

    Im guessing that means copies exist but would flount the forum rules, im a mod on other forums so i already know the average rules and for this i am going to bed a very upset boy tonight..............


    I still hold hope of possibly seeing this video again without the un-watchable fluttering that is a worn out vhs or poorly vhs player!

    I also possess a copy on video and i was watching it whilst posting the thread but my copy has aged badly and although i heard the awesome unforgettable soundtrack the picture unwatchably fluttery so its now become an audio only copy which is why i enquired as to a dvd copy!

    Just looking at JMC on the cover shows how cool he was,

    I mean......

    A one foot manual on the cover, with marinlite cantilever brakes, come on to do that back in the day you gotta have talent and thats lost on peeps these days imo lol
