With a storyline that seems channeled directly from a 14-yr old boy’s right cerebral cortex onto the 8-plex cinema screen (and then to laserdisc!), 1986′s RAD will ignite any latent BMX fantasies that may have been supplanted by Wi games and other modern sports. Pitting Bill Allen’s version of a small town cycling natural against factory rider (and olympian gymnastic) Bart Conner’s entitled variation of The Best Rider In the World, with a little Lori Loughlin thrown in for romantic interest (and one helluva bike dancing scene), RAD is the last cinematic word on classic BMX stunt action.

Oh, I’m gonna have to see this one!
Does the bike dancing scene beat the one in “Quicksilver”?

I was there! Like, for the filming of this, I mean. And I was 14 years old, too.
Pretty RAD!
This Super Relax thing is awesome and I wish there was this kind of fun-based and cute thing going on where I’m from. Spread the love, people!
Cheers,
