    Pay close attention to the style kids. It's like they all forgot. Extra cool of Eddie and Martin to be there. Takes me back to when I was 10 years old. Made my day. Thanks for this.

    RAD was probably the movie I saw most times as a kid. Every weekend me and my family was going to a vhs rental store, me, my sister, mom and dad was picking one movie, different all weekends, except for me. I always wanna rent RAD. Now as an adult I have it on dvd, so can watch it whenever I want ❤ According to me and now my background, the best movie ever made or ever will be made.

    I won tickets on the local radio station to see Rad on its debut night I think in Linthicum, Maryland. My dad took me and we saw the movie and it was so funny because there was a part in the movie that then all the teenagers started screaming. “Cleanup Cru” every time Bill showed on screen.
    The highlight, though it was after the movie. Everybody went to some bike shop in Rockville Maryland to see the Haro bike team freestyle demo. It was pretty mind blowing saying all those guys in peak form.

    I was 18 when Rad came out and had already been balls deep into freestyle and racing for quite awhile. So when this movie came out it was like going to Mecca to see it!!! My heroes were Martin, Eddie, R.L. Osborne, Woody Itson, Mike Dominguez and Ron Wilkerson. So seeing any of them in a movie was heaven to me!!!

    Here is something that is bit of little know fact about Rad - Geoffery Edwards and Sam Bernard The Writters for Rad, while Rad was being Filmed and before Shown in Theaters began writing down ideas for a Possible Rad 2 Movie. But was only ideas and never really took off due box office bomb.

    Ok RAD part 2 . Here we see cru , he's by. Himself having breakfast. He's looking at the news paper and sees an ad in the paper . WINNNNNNN A FREE BMX BIKE . Cru look at this , we see and hear a giggle from him . We than hear his son say dad can you come out here and help me . Cru goes outside with the mini van in the driveway . Cru goes into the garage and his son say I need some help with the chain on my bike . As we see this the camera captures posters all over the garage and his son has posted along with his dad's biker bmx days and the big event flyers . After cru helps his son he really opens his eyes to what's around him and the life his son is living , he can't help but know his son is reliving crus life , crus is happy with what he sees , he supports his son 💯 percent . Ok so now we enter the next day as cru is washing the family vehicle , cru hears his son being hot headed and the kids only 15 . His son is telling his friend , that taylor thinks he knows everything on a bike and thinks he's the fastest . Cru thinks to himself , I know that last name , cru has a serious look and now he knows his son is enemies with the kid of his own enemy . ................... Would be awesome seeing a part 2 . Let's bring back as many of the original actors to play some part in the new movie . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Great video.
