Mine will never get it. Hell, he will drive 8 miles out of his way just to save 2 cents/gallon on gas.

Another RAD fan here. I have it on VHS. The flatland riding during the ending credits was the best part of that movie. And the soundtrack...sweet!

And who can forget Hell Track?

is this the one where they practice and practice back flips onto a mattress?

Rad rules. I give this movie credit for giving e the urge to break my neck trying to learn how to flip.

I didn't think it was, but I found this link. I'm not 100% sure it was ever officially released on DVD. There has been talk about it at IMDB for years. I doubt they would link to a bootleg though so I would have to think it's legit. If it is out it had to have happened less than a year ago.

I always thought The BMX freestyle riding paralleled skateboard freestyle. Mullins gets with it:

Not only does this site have the best R/C help on the net, but it also helps find Rad on DVD ..

This is truly rad, I had forgot about the movie, but ended up here after looking into the Wikipedia page...http://scrapetv.com/Rad/Rad%20page%201.html

Maybe we should give Scott a little privacy, you know, just until the movie is over.

I've actually never seen BMX Bandits. I did see Rad back when it was out. I can't sit through most cheesy 80's movies any more. I'd rather be out riding my bike.

I don't think there is an official Rad dvd, but I know there are bootlegs available from various places.

It's really not the run of the mill cheesy 80's movie--and they have tires and mags in matching colors

i remember those days. robinson, hutch, gt, haro, diamond back, mccoy, dominguez, hoffman, huge pegs, bmx 'something' magazine and on and on...

I miss my Free Agent frame, 3-piece Cooks Cranks, Odyssey Brake, Peregrine 48 spoke rims, Bear headset. Put it together myself from one of those magazine order pages in BMX Plus.

Yeah I remember RAD too! I loved the tricks inside the disco---Hahahahahahaa. Even when I saw it back in the late 80's i think the cassette was a Beta.Hows that for old school.
