This movie has been my hands down favourite for as long as I can remember. I originally had it home recorded on VHS and I cannot count the number of times it was watched until the tape finally snapped. I had received a DVD copy for Christmas one year along with a Rad Racing shirt. Not sure where it came from but I can definitely look into it if anybody requests.The movie itself is a great story of overcoming obstacles and working hard at what you really love to do. I enjoy the fact that it has the bad guy that isn't out to destroy the world and he becomes good in the end. You just don't see movies like this anymore these days.The movie is amazing and it also has a great soundtrack for its time. Still ready to "Break the Ice" whenever I need to pump up for something. The John Farnham songs are the best.

This site has all kinds of information and photos. Probably the best location to everything about the movie. www.themovierad.com I was excited to see some of the original badges to allow helltrack stunt riders entrance to the set. I guess one of the guys in the movie put all of his stuff for everyone to view. There appears to be a decent following of people trying to replicate the bike that Cru Jones rode in the movie. This is the only the main one as he had three, which I learned reading through the site. The cool thing about the site is that they show products from after the movie. Shirts, posters, stuff like that. This whole thing is less about the stars and more about the people influenced by the movie and the stunt riders who were stars in the BMX world. www.themovierad.com

I cannot believe that this movie has not found its way to DVD as yet! Growing up, I watched this movie practically EVERY DAY after I got home from school!!! Now, I want it on DVD! If movies like North Shore can make it to DVD, I do not understand how, in today's era of extreme sports (which BMX helped start), that a movie about BMX racing is not available on DVD when it has got a large potential fan base!!! Please, release this CLASSIC film on DVD!!!! (I will continue to BEG for this movie until it is released!!!!)As for the film itself (in case you have not seen it) the movie depicts a great race (Helltrack) and is the story of a local kid who succeeds doing what he loves to do best. A great 80's soundtrack accompanies the film, and a couple of scenes of Lori Loughlin looking exceptionally HOT!

Rad (1986) is a really good movie, brings back memories of the 80's BMX craze, this is by far the best BMX movie made, BMX Bandits sucked!! The story is about this local BMX rider Cru Jones who enters a top class BMX competition called "HELLTRACK" with all the best BMX riders in the world, the HELLTRACK riders have all got massive sponsorship but Cru has to battle and fight just to enter the competition and get suitable sponsorship, will Cru manage to get into the competition and can he do the unthinkable and WIN!!! I give this movie 8/10, it's entertaining and fast paced with good racing action and a great soundtrack too, if you love the 80's then i highly recommend it for nostalgic value.
