Like KRM said, they didn't have any stock footage to keep it going. The only way they could continue it was if they adapted either an older show, or went absolutely insane and tried to adapt ZO and or J(they're Kamen Rider movies that are only 45 minutes or so long FYI). If Masked Rider managed to be popular enough, then they could have possibly pulled a "Zyu 2"(click here for info: http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Zyu2 ) and make new footage, which could have possibly even reignited the Kamen Rider franchise. But alas, Masked Rider flopped, fell into obscurity, and the creator of Kamen Rider swore on his deathbed to never let someone adapt his works again(or so I hear).

I remember enjoying masked rider quite a bit, and loved his suit upgrades with supergold being the best. I loved Chopper too, so obnoxious!

The show had a final battle, remember? It was the one where all the other Kamen Riders show up for absolutely no reason (which, to be fair, isn't that different from Black RX, but at least there, they existed prior to the episode) and they team up with Dex to save the day, or something. I can't say I really care to remember.

EDIT: Also, this happened:

Poor Skyrider.

No, a final battle is when you defeat all of the villains.

And I actually never watched the show outside of the Power Rangers crossover. I hated the characters in that episode so I never had an interest in watching the show. I watched some guys Youtube review on the final episode of Masked Rider and there was no final battle, it just leaves us with Count Doku vowing next time.

They already used ZO and J footage in Masked Rider. And considering how long it had been since Black RX ended before Masked Rider started I doubt they'd dig all the suits out of storage just for Saban. They probably could've used Black footage - at least until it gave a ton of American kids epileptic seizures.

Aren't a lot of the old Kamen Rider series seizure inducing though?

Not really. It was just Black that really went nuts with the strobe effects.

The really stupid thing about that is while Porygon and its evos got the shaft Pikachu, the real cause of that light strobe, got off Scott free.
