BMX - Ok, who here has seen the movie "Rad"....

and if you haven't then you're not a true BMXer, no matter how good you are

Replace "Rad" with "Dirty Deeds" and you're correct.

But, yes, I've seen it.

I guess I'm not a "true BMXer". Never even heard of it.

Dude, I saw Rad in the theatre when it was a new release! :D

...old school BMXer

I saw Jaws in the theater when it was a new release. And Alien. And Star Wars.

Me too! ;)

And Earthquake. And West World. Somehow, it was cheaper to take us all to the theater than hire a babysitter.

Who here can find the shift/cap and punctuation keys. :)


Who has seen Satraini and Vai on the G3 tour? If you haven't you are not a true guitar player, no matter how good you are.

Always with the guitars! I've seen Jimmy Page live. If I get to see Clapton, it's all good.

cant say i ever heard of "rad"

I saw rad. What was better was going to pro freestyle shows. I saw Woody Itson (Hutch), Martin Aparijo (Torker), Ron Wilkerson, Brian Blyther, Dave Nouri (all 3 riding for Haro) and a few others.. those guys were awesome.

I remember when the Skyway show came through town way back when...saw Matt Hoffman when he was a new pro - saw the GT team also, but the big names weren't in the show.

Oh, and saw Rad - what a cute storyline.

I saw all those guys, but the tops was the first year of the BMX Action trick team tour, with RL Osborn (on a Redline) and Mike Buff (on a Hutch) with the Duke of Oakley as their announcer. Don't forget Mike Dominguez (on a Diamonback), Eddie Fiola (on a GT) or any of the Vans tours. All of a sudden I'm feeling nostalgic and a little bit old! lol

there is really only one way to describe rad bmx movie and that is well rad, i downloaded the movie last night and it was pretty good, i thought it was just some oldschool vid at first and then i found out it had a storyline and i was stoked

Yeh Rad is probably the best bmx movie made really. If you want to see a poor arse effort of a bmx movie from around the same time with Nicole Kidman in a lead role before she was really famous, go see BMX bandits. Quite terrible really.

Yeh Rad is probably the best bmx movie made really.

I hope that you're joking. Maybe in the "box office" sense, but pretty much all of the Ell Bells ("Ring the Gack" or "Gloat", anyone?) beat the hell out of it.

I've seen Jimmy Page live.

How old are you again? hehe

My older brother saw Led Zepplin back in the day. It was a while ago though.

The Firm. 1986, Long Beach.

I saw it as a new release too. I think that was the only way to see it because it dissapeared from the theatres the next day. I happened to be sitting next to the local Ebert & Roper type guy. His review on TV the next day wasn't very good - I guess a bad story, bad acting and BMX aren't the ingredients for an Oscar. I was blown away by the movie but mostly because of the excitement of seeing the opening/closing credits (some cool freestyle stuff) on a big screen. Remember back then having a VHS at home was about as common as having an Olympic sized swimming pool in your dining room, so seeing pros ride instead of looking at photos of them in BMX Action was so fricken exciting.

The movie was filmed in Calgary and Cochrane, Alberta (Canada) - where I'm from. Just about every serious rider from back then had some sort of experience riding with Eddie Fiola or being in the movie. I'm the guy in a bright blue OP shirt next to the cereal bowl at Hell Track. Hahah.

Look closely for Rick Moliterno - current owner of Standard Bykes and probably the only guy in the movie who's influence is still strong in BMX - and he still rules.

I'm moving my bike shop to Cochrane pretty soon - maybe I'll have to sell Rad Racing T's? Hmmmm.

yea i saw clips of that movie, downloaded from kazaa few years back. I remember the scene when he was eating cereal, and then like the chick and him were tricking in the disco room. haha i really liked it - the music was nice too

I saw it. Took years off my life!

Rad is the best BMX movie ever

What about Little Devil "Criminal Mischif"?

i heard that was amazing (but ive only seen Van Homans Part and other clips of it)

and while were on the subject of best BMX movies...


BUILDING THE UNDERGROUND = BEST TRAILS VIDEO OF ALL TIME

i saw RAD in theaters a couple months ago. it was awesome, by far the one of the best experiences of my life. oh yeah, Jeff Landtisers part in building the underground is one of the best parts i've seen in a while! little jeff is my hero!

havent seen it

cool movie

Anyone know if it is available on DVD? I'll go check Amazon...

-Paul

It's not officially on DVD, but there's plenty of bootleg ones for sale on eBay.

Cru is rad

The movie was filmed in and around Calgary, AB, Canada where I live. Watched it religiously when I was young and impressionable.
Wish that I had a copy now.

Best BMX movie ever.

My step sister was friends with Ell Bells, and was into the San Diego BMX scene pretty hardcore. She even married one of the stars of his flicks (lol). The only problem is, she moved to Arizona, and I barely see her now, and I can't ever remember to ask her to make me copies of his movies. Do you know where I can buy any of his movies? I've tried looking all over the internet, and I can't seem to find ANYTHING. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Daniel

Wait, wait, wait. Your sister is Dave Schilling's wife?

If so: tell her to get back on BMXBoard.

And, as for the videos, either pray that Ells Watson decides to do a massive DVD compilation project, or look on eBay.

to kinetic: yes, criminal mischief is amazing

Who here can find the shift/cap and punctuation keys. :)


Who has seen Satraini and Vai on the G3 tour? If you haven't you are not a true guitar player, no matter how good you are.

So I guess this means that hendrix was a fake.

I wanna recreate the helltrack soo bad, and race it on a Hutch.

I don't think anyone cares. Don't dig up ancient threads.
