Back in around ‘96 / ‘97, myself and Ben used to update a little website that we named ‘Dirt’, with some reviews of BMX videos, music, and information on various ‘scenes’ around the UK. The inspiration came mainly from Kieran Chapman eWire e-zine, and while it was fun to do at the time we lost interest and it never received the number of updates it deserved. Fast forward a few years and I notice that I seem to have lost all the versions I thought I had archived :(
Fortunately, I’ve found the last version published up on the Wayback Machine and with the help of Warrick retrieved it complete and intact and put it back online here. It’s pretty cringeworthy in places, from the design (made with NetObjects’ Fusion 2.x! through to our writing.
The photos were mainly stolen scans from Dig Magazine although Will did kindly give us blessing to do so - or Big Brother, hence Jamie Thomas over there. Good shit!
