ooooo hell yea! i have been rollin on 20's since 86. i usta have it on VHS but watched it so many times i wore the tape out. it is out on DVD  a good friend of mine has it, so i bum it off him when i need a fix. i think he got it off e-bay. for a while there were red shirts for sale as well that said cru jones is rad on the front of the shirt. all i gotta say is "ass slideing" along with hell track, hollywood mike maranda, bart taylor,rod and rex renolds. everytime i see full house i'm like that chick can't ride.

[kneedownnate]

Too funny!  I saw the movie when it came out and would totally watch it again.

[abnormaltoy]

I think I can state without qualification, that this is just another example of...man, it's good to be old. I completely missed that film, the cultural aspect and the broken bones associated with that period.

[bigarms23]

there are good copies on amazon.com for cheap prices i got mine from them 2yrs ago for $3.50 yeah that was my favorite movie as well

[kvn85]

RAD is my favorite movie of all time , that move pretty much got me into BMX my VHS copy took a crap so I bought a copy about 5 years ago form some place in Canada because they didn't release it on dvd back then so all they did is play the VHS movie and record the TV so all I have is a DVD with VHS quality . any off you guys still ride? I only get ride about once every 2 weeks its hard to get time with work and the kids and working on the Yoda

[94MtnYote]

 Dude, that is awesome, the sound track is a must have for wheeling.

[iNfErNaL]

any off you guys still ride?

I'm too stiff nowadays  .I've been dying to get back on a bike for a couple of years now.  The last bike I owned was a GT Interceptor back in 91 or 92.

[iNfErNaL]

Hey Infernal don't know what part of so cal your from but did you ever ride at twin palms or sheep hills those were some good spots back in the day

YES!!!!!!!  .I rode Twin Palms near Riverside a few times.My buddy Bobby knocked himself out there one time off one of the big doubles.That was back in 92 I believe,I was trying to remember exactly where that place was at the other day when I was driving by,I remember there was an elementary school across the way,it was off Van Buren and I forget the name of the other street but I have a pretty good idea.Never rode Sheep Hills but I always wanted to,my buddy Jason's cousins were the P.O.Ws(Pros Of Westminster) and that was their little area.I tried to go a couple times but something always came up.

I still have my Redline (I forgot the model) & it's set up for freestyle. I still get on it & can still do a couple of tricks. The latest trick I have mastered is the 360 deg spin to the almost break something  I can still do 180's though  I'm 37 so I don't try those anymore  Also, fordh8r & I use to ride at Red Devil in Union City, it's been in the magazines 

[RokCrawlinToy]

I totally forgot about this movie. Ben Crockett of 4WDTO mag. still works for BMX plus. He is an old school BMX guy also.

Anyone else remember the name of the guy who did the the backflip in the movie? He was the first person to ever do it, He was from AZ. I can't believe I even remember it.

i think i saw this movie on a bmx website, the whole thing as a youtube type setup. ill look for it in a minite.

[kvn85]

Hell ya twin palms was one of my favorite spots I don't remember the street names ether but its just past the school . We also would ride at a place called 6th street in norco or corona cant remember . I went to the P.O.W. house a couple of times but I never got to ride the back yard , that place was dirrrty. thats cool you know about the P.O.Ws the kids I ride with now don't even know about them. and the guy who did the back flip was  Jose Yanez

[iNfErNaL]

Yup,my buddy's name was Jason Comeaux and one of the POWs was Luan and I don't remember the other ones.When I lived in Bloomington I had a neighbor named Jeff but I can't remember his last name.Back in '92 when I met him he was about 29,30 and a retired Freestyler.I had never heard of him untill he showed me all the old BMX Plus mags he was in,he used to ride for CW and was in all their ads.I met Eddie Fiola and Josh White at his house.Back then in '92 Eddie had a right hand drive Honda CRX and I thought he was bad ass  .I bragged to all my buddies for months about playing BMX tag with Eddie Fiola,"The King"

Damn Fool!  I haven't seen that stuff in a long  time...   GTV was pretty cool though. I especially liked that clean second gen next to the .5 pipe... .  Looking at the tricks they did in the video makes you think, "That ain't  compared to what they do now"     Although back in the day a Can-Can or a reverse spin 180 or even a Look back with a handlebar whip was pretty sick and the 720, Damn!  That was the shizz...

Yup,that's the one I was talking about.I kept thinking about it the other day and that's why I looked up the video.That was a brand new truck back then.

[sloyota]

i have the sound track on vinyl,and still have a copy on VHS.

How about Gleaming the Cube?! That fits the genre.
