It was on last night in High def. Widescreen even, finished up work, headed up stairs for some games, flipped through the channels first and saw those 3 special letters R-A-D. i tripped, flipped the fuck out and starting calling friends, my brother and his girlfriend were like "what what?" they had no clue, i then found out she was born the year this came out

Can you handle Helltrack?
You want to go ass sliding?
The only thing I'm good at is riding that bike.
F yah, I know what you're talking about! Is it really out on DVD now?

Secret Shame...
This film along with "North Shore" have defined my existence to this very day.

i'm pretty sure that is where i first heard the red hot chili peppers. it was either RAD or the skateboarding equivalent Thrash (is that right?)

Rad is the Red Dawn of bike movies.
- mg330
You're thinking of Thrashin' gruntt.
And true true true - Rad and Thrashin probably define my existance more than I know.
Throw Red Dawn in the mix and there's my genetic makeup minus the blood.

THRASHIN'! That's It! There is a scene where that are in a club and the band on the stage is none other than RHCP. I was like "dude i have to get them on tape" finally tracked them down and bought "uplift mofo party plan"
i must have watched thrashin' 100 times.

Thrashin' or Rad are like watching lord of the rings. you can totally tune your whole life out and immerse yourself in it without a care in the world.

RAD changed my life. I Saw it 16 years ago for the first time and started riding the next day (and still do). Riding led to making 'zines. Making 'zines led to pursue graphic design as a career.
Best movie ever.
p.s. There used to be a local skatepark here run by a couple of riders called "The Lumberyard."

I own Rad on VHS and BetaMax

Oh man, I love this movie! I remember the freestyle in that movie, it was all bouncing. Lori was so hot too! Anyone else go on a KIX binge after seeing that? I wish they had it on Netflix... Guess I have to buy the DVD now! Thanks for bringing up such awesome memories! I'm gonna go ride my ELF now.

One of these days I'm going to have to figure out which one of you gets a t-shirt of mine as a hand-me-down.
For my last day of college in 2001, last class, last finals of my five years in school, I made a t-shirt transfer that simply said "Red Dawn Is The Greatest Movie Ever"
And I wore it and I smiled the whole time.

so right after high school i was working at a ski resort and there wasn't a lot of snow - one day i sat and watched RAD back to back to back. 6 hours of RAD in one day.
this is the sweetest movie ever and the soundtrack still kicks ass.
cru and bart and the gang, such a sweet movie.
I think my favorite part is when Bart's cronies are out cutting a rug at the local high school dance and they both are tag-team dancing with that one chich and they squat down and give each other high fives, that part is awesome.
