About me: An 80's movie that has become a classic to many BMX racers out there. Rad is one of the best BMXer movies from a classic period.
In true 80's style, Rad is based on a story of a small town BMXer who competes against big time BMXers who have sponsors behind them (Mongoose, GT, etc.) and... see the movie and find out!.
Rad! has many good points to it, including incredible stunts by BMX legends Eddie Fiola and RL Osborn, music and the normal 80's love story. As for the stunts, both the intro and credits to the movie are just about 4-5 minutes of freestyle riders showing off.
Rad has bike stunts/races throughout, starting with the intro, then Cru and his friends delivering papers to local businesses/residents, then the Cru/Christian show at the Helltrack Dance, and the main race/credits with various other stunts thrown in here and there.
All in all, Rad is one of the best Bike/BMX/Freestyle movies ever made.

Not sure why everyone want this movie on DVD or 1080i. Keep it real the way the movie was made and watch it on VHS. Thats the only way to see a true classic movies such as Rad.
