    Rad!

    HI All!

    One of my favorite 80's movies of all time. Clcik this link to see a great 80's movie website that has much info!

    RAD

    Brings back the good old BMX racing memories. A fun movie all around. If you haven't seen it go get it and watch it!

    You can even get RAD RACING T-Shirts on eBay now. I have one myself but I made it with an iron-on.

    Here's some pictures:

    Did they tie you up? The movie is great! I wish I could still do those tricks (some of em)

    I bunny hop and jump little ramps. My boys aren't into it like I was. They are usually stuck on video games or rides that have an engine.

    I took my sons bike and bunny hopped it somewhat high a couple months ago and snapped the handle bars.
    Not that I'm really heavy now, well a helluva a lot more than when I was a kid... I taught him how I used to ride with the seat really high and the handle bars high up and forward. That's was made it snap because not much of the spindle was in.

    lol. It was a friend from Cali so anything racing,dunes,skateboarding, surfing... he had a good story for it. NO ropes but he did make me take it home and watch it. Good memories though.

    HI All.
    For anyone interested this seller will auto-except a $20 offer.

    Great movie. I just bought it. I can't wait to see on DVD.

    Mostly for 80's freaks that were into BMX racing or tricks.

    I have Rad on laserdisc

    That DVD is most likely made from the HD broadcast from 5 years ago as there hasn't been an official DVD release yet.

    Other cheesy 80s films involving kids on wheels to look out for:
    BMX Bandits
    Thrashin'
    Gleaming the Cube
    The Dirt Bike Kid
    Solarbabies

    And the 1990 film Prayer of the Rollerboys for good measure

    Thanks for the list. I will dig into them. I think I saw most but it's been so long it's hard to say.
    Ah. I saw Thrashin' on Netflix about a month ago. Pretty good. Make sure to drink an extra beer...lol

    Uh oh. I hope it's clear. It's gotta be more clear than my downloaded copy!

    If it's made from the HD broadcast you shouldn't have anything to worry about in terms of audio/video quality

    Cool. Hopefully it will arrive today. Prolly will watch it if it does.
    I'll let everyone know how it is.

    HI.

    Tip: Don't watch this more than one time every ten years. You might overload on cheese.

    Really good otherwise.
