The sad part is that all the decades since haven't even really made it close. The 90's were pretty good, but the 2000's were a train wreck after 9/11 happened and the endless wars in the Middle East. So scratch 2000-2009. 2010-2019 was "meh". Terrible decline in music. So many more restrictions in society. So much more hatred. The 2020-2029 decade has already been ruined by covid-19. Nothing can save this disaster of a decade no matter what happens now.

1980-89 was a great time to be a kid. I was 10 in 1980 and 19 at the end of the run. The whole culture was upbeat about the future, etc. Now all you have is crap that foreshadows some apocalyptic doom.
Robert Bruce I was 12 in 1980 and living under the shadow of cold war nuclear standoff, and all Reagan's saber-rattling had me and other kids perpetually terrified there'd be nuclear armageddon at any moment. Add to that AIDS, drug wars, the Satanic Panic and most adults' seeming certainty that we were a lost generation, sometimes I'm amazed I survived with my sanity. There's always some old people always grumbling about anything new being terrible and kids these days blah blah blah. I prefer to listen to new music, appreciate new culture and befriend younger people, to hanging around a bunch of bitter, nostalgic old farts constantly ruminating about the past and how everything's always supposedly getting worse.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!! RAD forever in my heart. Everything about this movie is exactly how I want my life to be. SEND ME BACK TO THE 80s and send me an angle haha. Never get bored of this movie and soundtracks. No other BMX movie can top this. Time sure flies!! I’m lucky I grew up in the 80s & 90s. The best eras ever!!! BMX around the neighbour, do paper route, sell lemonade, actually play on a ground, go BLOCKBUSTER or ROGERS rent VHS then became DVD’s, car pool, play snooker. Let me be a young teen one more time. Pay phones, to cord phones, to pagers to big ass cell phones. younger generation nowadays are just spoiled period.
I’m old enough to live the 60’s,a fantastic time. Then the 80’s hit. Damn,the best music,the best girls,the best everything. My divorce came in ‘83,from then on it was epic. I was there for the premier of MTV on cable,and all the great videos that came after. Now it’s all gone,never to return. But at least,when I’m on my deathbed (or wherever I finally croak) I will know I lived thru the most sensual and open times ever.
So fortunate to grow up in Thee 1980's! Truly Magical time! Remember watching "Rad" for the first time......afterwards me and my brothers and cousins immediately took our bikes out back and built a Half Pipe and some jumps......Miss those days so much. Still have this on VHS along with Thrashin and Gleaming the Cube and pretty much every other timeless classic movie from the 80s. Best Movies, Music, Cartoons ( lol), Best Decade Period!!!! RIP 80s!!
George balis I was one of the fearless kids with the skate boards, bikes, and scooters (razor) with real tires, man I put many of miles and breaks on my body and bones. But we weren't snowflake pussies like are born and bred now. I'd like to see these kid's make it in our day's.
The 1980's were such a great time to be a teenager unlike today! 2018 and still playing this!!! As a 80's child I will always love this era and it's phenomenal movies & music!!! PURE MAGIC
BMX was so popular back in the '80's. Great time to be a kid. This movie inspired me and my friends to go out with shovels and create BMX jumps in a big empty field. Over time more and more people pitched in and we had a pretty awesome little BMX track. The land got sold and some developers tore down our jumps and put a golf driving range. So we built new jumps at a different location and the county came and tore them down, said they were worried someone would get hurt and there'd be a lawsuit. And they wonder why we all just started playing video games and smoking weed. WTF else were we supposed to do when they kept taking away our natural highs?
Yup same here, saw this movie at a buddy's house for a bday party and then we all started riding wheelies and jumping stuff until someone broke some teeth and bones, good times
Man, This song and this movie make me think back to a time when life was so much simpler. A time when all you had to worry about was being home in time for supper, or before it got dark. Sure do miss those days.😔...
Nah, you're forgetting the kid hunting by dudes in vans, crack epidemic and the Cold War threat of nuclear war. No, it wasn't as innocent of a time as you claim it to be.
@The American I can't disagree. As I said to my neighbour John who lives beneath me, I said only yesterday in fact after getting something to eat, I said John, the ultimate black pill is society is falling apart and there's nothing anybody can do. A society can be judged by by the standards of law and order, the treatment of its vulnerable, elderly, homeless and children etc, and standards in education. Education is falling apart since even standards are thought to be a problem these days. Crime is out of control. Children are being abused in the care system. Even the elderly are being attacked. Add to that millions of illegal aliens crossing the borders over the years plus corrupt politicians. You know what I mean? I had even heard the governor of Oregon, brown has ordered the state police to find the Republicans and bring them back by force. The very definition of political intimidation because Oregon is now like California a supermajority and they want the VANEER of legitimacy when then pass their draconian new laws.
@The American Standards have gone down. Even music was better in the nineties compared to now. Even films. Don't get me wrong there's still got films now like John wick but it seems to be now largely these days reboots and remakes....
Don't forget the freedom. Today kids can't do anything. Gangs, pedophiles, every field is no trust passing. The list just goes. Makes since why they have their faces buried in a phone.
I’m so glad I grew up in this era. Even though 47 in a few months I still long for these times to come back. Watching Rad, Thrashin and BMX bandits(Aussie movie) made my childhood bloody awesome
My older brother rode a redline most of our young life.. we had a sanctioned BMX track & trail system not far from our home..I used to skip school sometimes and ride the trails then ride to the pool hall to hang with the old heads.. Diamondback was a great racing bike too.. I had a Mongoose Blue Max and a Kuwhara back then ..our parents would FLIP at the prices of the bikes we wanted so we mowed grass raked leaves & sold candy at the local army reserve on drill weekends for money and traded for parts like shimano peds and 3 piece cranks etc with friends..I wanted a Hutch cruiser & a GT Performer back then..I have them now :)
78 here, born and raised in Southeast Texas, the 80s/90s were the best, literally! Don’t get me wrong, have plenty of scars from the tough times but all in all wouldn’t trade it for anything, tunes/movies like this hit that nostalgia wave, blockbuster, malls, skating rinks and the chill freedoms, man it was the coolest time ever, sincerely wish everyone could get a sense of what that was like, I bet it would change the entire world 🤙🏻💚⚡️
@@purge2--u--nite342 Times are different,my friend. Hell,if we had a bully problem,we had it out and it was over. Now,the BS continues needlessly. Things were simpler then and I do miss that.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I was 14 when it came out and I was consumed by bmx. Must have watched it on video 1000 times at least. My son bought me a copy for Christmas a few years ago, I still remember every line.
One of my favorite songs, right now December 7 2019 I'm listening this song in the highlands of Bolivia 🇧🇴 above 13000 feet looking the sky in his full magnificent it feels so close the stars thanks for posting greetings from the super ancient megalithic city of TIAHUANAKU BOLIVIA 🇧🇴.
This movie was my my shiznitle bang pop...There's nothing more Rad then Rad the movie! It seems like just yesterday I was bunny hopping and modn out my free agent bmx bike.
That's because commercialism and corporate greed took over forcing everyone to live less and consume more. Fear sells, and these days people live in their locked cars and are afraid of their shadows. Truly sad.
It’s so true. Woodstock 1999 was “when the music died.” I was at that concert & besides the legends... it was a lot of music that incited violence. We had to leave early. It was the beginning of the end.
When a simple backflip on a bicycle was the coolest fucking thing youd ever seen. Classic movie and one of the greatest 80s songs ever....curtesy of said movie. Excellent video!
Joseph Mayfield Highly Suspect did a cover about a year or so ago...rarely is a cover better than the original but it is. Damn I wish I still had my GT Pro-performer!
This song isn't underrated- everyone I know is aware of this song. It was in Rad, The Wizard, & Teen Wolf Too- seemed like this song was everywhere when I was little!
I hate the 2000s so much I have watch these videos put smile on my face . Wish can go on a 1 way trip back to 80s and leave me there life was so easy and perfect.
When is Your Birthday Dude? 1-28-76 here LOL We were born in an interesting time for sure. 80s kids & 90s Teens. Good times. I grew up right outside of D.C. & My Brothers & I were ALWAYS At what is now Chucky Cheese. 1 Foot in the Past & 1 in the Future. We ARE Truly Blessed Lex ;-) Sweet name. Everywhere else on social media, I'm aLexTalionis
80's was the year for me. I also loved dropping in. I probably could've been pro if I didn't tear my Achilles. It took me just over 2 months to mater the back flip with broken bones along the way. I'd a chrome GT performer BMX bike. All I can say is I'd a blast and loved every minute of it.
If there was ever a chance to be condemned to be stock in time I would chose exactly 3650 days from Jan 1st of 1980 to December 31st. Back and forth in a endless loop of joy, feelings of hard but worthy love and the ultimate freedom to mind fly. What a decade the 80s was.
We had bmx trails in town, and rode on bikes. and motorcycles and had alot of fun times! We would watch Rad, then go bmx riding ! The 80's was an awesome time !
Back in the mid 80's, everytime me and my brothers would go to the video store or the (movie club)😄 we would rent this and the skateboard movie "Thrasher" on VHS. Then after we would watch them, we would go outside and get hurt or break something, trying to do the same stunts... lol Sure miss those days...
Its a Gods gift, to be a kid in the 80ths. Since the year 2000 is everything going bad. We have to make the future allright for the next generation. God bless all people with a good will!
Sin and as you put it, "everything going bad" has been happening since the beginning of time. God has nothing to do with people being born in the 80's. What if someone has a better life now, or in another decade? Life itself is a gift. Your comment holds no merit.
@@raynekimi2755 By the way, we are now living in the most important time since the birth of Jesus Christ. Thats the greatest of all gifts ! ! So we have to prove ourselves worthy.
Ahhh yes, Rad... Hadn't thought of it since the 80s... One of the first movies I watched again and again then slipped my mind and was lost since about age 8... Here we are 30 years later.✨😎✨
Best damn movie ever!!! I know I watched it over 100 times lol As a 80's child I will always love this era and it's phenomenal movies & music!!! PURE MAGIC
lukusr me too, no pads no helmets, just pain but that's temporary. And the place we rode would have made "helltrack" look like a cakewalk. We had a massive area of our subdivision that was not completed some 300 acres of cut roads and foundation excavations that were just left like that. In the foothills of the blue Ridge Mountains so some jumps were very high and steep. One 15 20 feet almost vertical
@@stevenbaker470 I grew up in NC! We never owned helmets when I was growing up, lol. Somehow we survived. 😁❤😁 I just skated but my brother only got a helmet in 1996 because it was required for dirtbike races.
My BMX years were in the very late '80's through the '90's. But we all knew this movie, back to front. Also I got the California Mongoose as a hand-me-down from my cousin in '89.
I remember my fifth grade teacher bringing this movie in for the class to watch! This was the movie that got me into bmx riding as a kid lol and this song always stuck with me 🙌🏽
I'm 52 and the 80s rocked!! Had a diamond back silver streak BMX also..wish I could go back in time.
Had a Maroon and gold mongoose until it was stolen. Dad would take me to the local BMX track where I could pretend to be a badass rider!
I'm 50 . Even though it's from 93. I hold my Santa ana GT INTERCEPTOR to be priceless.
Dude, I also had a Silver streak... awesome bike!!!
I still have my chrome Mongoose Californian I bought new back in 84. Would never be able to part with it. So many memories..

1980-89 was a great time to be a kid. I was 10 in 1980 and 19 at the end of the run. The whole culture was upbeat about the future, etc. Now all you have is crap that foreshadows some apocalyptic doom.
Robert Bruce I was 12 in 1980 and living under the shadow of cold war nuclear standoff, and all Reagan's saber-rattling had me and other kids perpetually terrified there'd be nuclear armageddon at any moment. Add to that AIDS, drug wars, the Satanic Panic and most adults' seeming certainty that we were a lost generation, sometimes I'm amazed I survived with my sanity. There's always some old people always grumbling about anything new being terrible and kids these days blah blah blah. I prefer to listen to new music, appreciate new culture and befriend younger people, to hanging around a bunch of bitter, nostalgic old farts constantly ruminating about the past and how everything's always supposedly getting worse.

Nick Marsala So true! I was 14 in '86 & loving it!
i was 5 when this movie came out.
I was born in 1984, but I'm addicted to this decade's music. They're awesome!!!
Bist jung hast verdient diese Musik
I also was born in 84. At least we got a little taste of the 80s. 90s we’re really cool also so I’m thankful
This was one highly underrated movies of that era ! 💯. I used to race for team schwinn as well 💯!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!! RAD forever in my heart. Everything about this movie is exactly how I want my life to be. SEND ME BACK TO THE 80s and send me an angle haha. Never get bored of this movie and soundtracks. No other BMX movie can top this. Time sure flies!! I’m lucky I grew up in the 80s & 90s. The best eras ever!!! BMX around the neighbour, do paper route, sell lemonade, actually play on a ground, go BLOCKBUSTER or ROGERS rent VHS then became DVD’s, car pool, play snooker. Let me be a young teen one more time.
Pay phones, to cord phones, to pagers to big ass cell phones.
younger generation nowadays are just spoiled period.
I’m old enough to live the 60’s,a fantastic time. Then the 80’s hit. Damn,the best music,the best girls,the best everything. My divorce came in ‘83,from then on it was epic. I was there for the premier of MTV on cable,and all the great videos that came after. Now it’s all gone,never to return. But at least,when I’m on my deathbed (or wherever I finally croak) I will know I lived thru the most sensual and open times ever.
Fucking A my man.
Citizen Rico awesome time !!!!! I’m jealous well I was born in 79
I was born in 1971, I know what you mean man.
I'm jealous. I was born in 81. I watched this movie lots as a kid. That and Coming to America. You know 'A family movie'. The 80's were the shit!
I was born in '76, so I always envied guys who were able to seduce 80s women, I just kissed a few girls my age.
74 baby, 80's god damn i know i'm not the only one who misses it. 80's forever!!!!!!
Yea I with you born in 76
Bicentennial 76er here! Pre-matrix!
So fortunate to grow up in Thee 1980's! Truly Magical time! Remember watching "Rad" for the first time......afterwards me and my brothers and cousins immediately took our bikes out back and built a Half Pipe and some jumps......Miss those days so much. Still have this on VHS along with Thrashin and Gleaming the Cube and pretty much every other timeless classic movie from the 80s. Best Movies, Music, Cartoons ( lol), Best Decade Period!!!! RIP 80s!!
I AGREE with everyone here.. when I think of the 80s...
I almost cry, I miss it so much... born in 70
take me back too!!!
I couldn’t agree more! Exactly how I feel
George balis I was one of the fearless kids with the skate boards, bikes, and scooters (razor) with real tires, man I put many of miles and breaks on my body and bones. But we weren't snowflake pussies like are born and bred now. I'd like to see these kid's make it in our day's.
banana
I agree mate I was born 69 I know where your coming from take,s me back every time I watch these g,day from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺✌️
The magic years born between 1968 and 1972. I was born in 1970 too. The class of '88.
I love this movie !!! I actually have it on dvd and watch it at least once a month lol !!! Everything was better in the 80’s
The 1980's were such a great time to be a teenager unlike today!
2018 and still playing this!!!
As a 80's child I will always love this era and it's phenomenal movies & music!!! PURE MAGIC
I’m a 15 year old Today I like to back to the 80s
Incredible period of time. I was very fortunate to have grown up in this era.
BMX was so popular back in the '80's. Great time to be a kid. This movie inspired me and my friends to go out with shovels and create BMX jumps in a big empty field. Over time more and more people pitched in and we had a pretty awesome little BMX track. The land got sold and some developers tore down our jumps and put a golf driving range. So we built new jumps at a different location and the county came and tore them down, said they were worried someone would get hurt and there'd be a lawsuit. And they wonder why we all just started playing video games and smoking weed. WTF else were we supposed to do when they kept taking away our natural highs?
Fuck the POlice!
Amen Brother! best time ever.
Right on man. I had a sweet looking blue BMX back in the 80's. Now I get my kicks hauling ass on my motorcycles burning Dino Juice.
Yup same here, saw this movie at a buddy's house for a bday party and then we all started riding wheelies and jumping stuff until someone broke some teeth and bones, good times
Well said.
Man, This song and this movie make me think back to a time when life was so much simpler. A time when all you had to worry about was being home in time for supper, or before it got dark. Sure do miss those days.😔...
Nah, you're forgetting the kid hunting by dudes in vans, crack epidemic and the Cold War threat of nuclear war. No, it wasn't as innocent of a time as you claim it to be.
Man these kids today will never know. No net no phones no problems. *RAD*
True thats why we were in better shape.physically and mentally....our imagination and the effort to do things...even the dating was better
The spirit of the 80s lasted at least till 1995.
@The American
I can't disagree. As I said to my neighbour John who lives beneath me, I said only yesterday in fact after getting something to eat, I said John, the ultimate black pill is society is falling apart and there's nothing anybody can do.
A society can be judged by by the standards of law and order, the treatment of its vulnerable, elderly, homeless and children etc, and standards in education.
Education is falling apart since even standards are thought to be a problem these days.
Crime is out of control.
Children are being abused in the care system.
Even the elderly are being attacked.
Add to that millions of illegal aliens crossing the borders over the years plus corrupt politicians.
You know what I mean?
I had even heard the governor of Oregon, brown has ordered the state police to find the Republicans and bring them back by force.
The very definition of political intimidation because Oregon is now like California a supermajority and they want the VANEER of legitimacy when then pass their draconian new laws.
@The American
Standards have gone down. Even music was better in the nineties compared to now. Even films. Don't get me wrong there's still got films now like John wick but it seems to be now largely these days reboots and remakes....
Don't forget the freedom. Today kids can't do anything. Gangs, pedophiles, every field is no trust passing. The list just goes. Makes since why they have their faces buried in a phone.
Bring the 80's back!
Gosh we had such great music and movies back in the 80s.todays stuff can't nearly compare no wonder today's youth is so screwed up.
Got That Right America 🇺🇸 1980s
My Science Project
I totally agree
The synthe is probably the greatest gift ever given to music
Yeah, I still hold out hope that one of these days, the synthesizer will once again become a lead instrument.
The original is better. The electric drum kills it.
80's girls are so fabulous. I remember them well just wish that time stood still in this era.
Well, for sure, there was no tattoo on 80’s girls... Just pure natural 😀
That 80's girl is probs going to jail for trying to get her 2 spoiled brats into college on a phony scholarship.
yaH....except for the way we wore our blush.....a lil harsh looking back...but @ the time...we rocked it!!!
Let's be honest , the hairstyles were pretty goofy in the 80s tho , I personally would not like it of we all had their hairstyles again 😂
@@victordemarco01 LMAO! So true....lol! It definitley did happen too! 😅
I’m so glad I grew up in this era. Even though 47 in a few months I still long for these times to come back.
Watching Rad, Thrashin and BMX bandits(Aussie movie) made my childhood bloody awesome
The 80s was so awesome it's a shame we'll never see it again
it'll get its come back, probably in your lifetime!
Bryent Dennis yet we were privileged to be a part of it. Being a teenager in that era was the best.
2080 lol
80th like
Haro Master, GT, Diamond Back, PK Ripper, Mongoose, Hutch, CW, Skyway..........This was my childhood!
mine too! with a little Powell Peralta & santa Cruz & Vision sprinkled in there for good measure
My older brother rode a redline most of our young life.. we had a sanctioned BMX track & trail system not far from our home..I used to skip school sometimes and ride the trails then ride to the pool hall to hang with the old heads.. Diamondback was a great racing bike too.. I had a Mongoose Blue Max and a Kuwhara back then ..our parents would FLIP at the prices of the bikes we wanted so we mowed grass raked leaves & sold candy at the local army reserve on drill weekends for money and traded for parts like shimano peds and 3 piece cranks etc with friends..I wanted a Hutch cruiser & a GT Performer back then..I have them now :)
I had all GT's: a Performer, a Pro-Performer and a World Tour. I miss those days. I was damn good on a bike; now I can barely get up without pain. LOL
Ron Jones Sky Way Mags. Had them on my first bike!! Olde Skool
I had a red GT Interceptor and a black GT Performer. Those were the good old days! Man, I miss being a kid!
You know you’re an amazing cinematographer when you can make BMX tricks looks like mystical artistry
78 here, born and raised in Southeast Texas, the 80s/90s were the best, literally! Don’t get me wrong, have plenty of scars from the tough times but all in all wouldn’t trade it for anything, tunes/movies like this hit that nostalgia wave, blockbuster, malls, skating rinks and the chill freedoms, man it was the coolest time ever, sincerely wish everyone could get a sense of what that was like, I bet it would change the entire world 🤙🏻💚⚡️
DO-OVER back to the mid 80's WHO WOULD COME WITH??
I am in!
Let’s go right now!
I never left.
We need to bring back some tech to reverse engineer. The 1980s were a materialic time. We need to be comfortable.
@James Bass If only we could,friend. We could also prevent the whole ballyhooed Y2K thing as well.
Man the 80s was the best time to be a kid and to be alive ...
This reeks of the 80’s in the best possible way.
Love it!
That was a great video. I enjoyed watching it very much.
A BMX and guts were all you needed back then. You did not need a brand new cell every year.
Metalman200xdamnit less government interference too
@@franniebanani6532 Good point. Not to mention less protectiveness.
Tell that to these beta pussies holding cell phone taking selfies🕺. Sad if you think about it. Glad we LIVED these times and WE still hold up
@@purge2--u--nite342 Times are different,my friend. Hell,if we had a bully problem,we had it out and it was over. Now,the BS continues needlessly.
Things were simpler then and I do miss that.
Bikes weren't cheap either
This is my favorite movie of all time. I was 14 when it came out and I was consumed by bmx. Must have watched it on video 1000 times at least. My son bought me a copy for Christmas a few years ago, I still remember every line.
Its 2020 people, this never gets old 👍
never
Best 80's music
I was raised on this VHS tape. Growing up at the BMX track and at local dirt jumps made this movie so special. Forever grateful!
One of my favorite songs, right now December 7 2019 I'm listening this song in the highlands of Bolivia 🇧🇴 above 13000 feet looking the sky in his full magnificent it feels so close the stars thanks for posting greetings from the super ancient megalithic city of TIAHUANAKU BOLIVIA 🇧🇴.
👍✌🤘🤙
Yup rocking out in MN 12/28/19....7:44 p.m.Central time...
Wooooooooooooooooooooo
I miss the 80’s!! Best years ever!!
Arthur Francis II I'm always stuck in the 80s it were the best times in my life
The 80’s were in fact the best era in this life to ever live in period! There will never be anything like this again.❤️🙏
This movie was my my shiznitle bang pop...There's nothing more Rad then Rad the movie! It seems like just yesterday I was bunny hopping and modn out my free agent bmx bike.
Great song. Unfortunately I've never seen this movie before. I completely agree with the other commenters here, the 80's was truly great. Thank you.
there is a remastered version out there. it is so worth the watch.
The 80's were great and the 90's weren't bad either , but after 1999 everything seemed manufactured not natural.
Kevin Whelan 2000s everychange
This is natural huh?
Y2k 😵😂
You right💯 though
Originality was losted in every aspect of life
83 BORN 💯🎶😵😍😇😎✌🗽🌎
amongst the last of the rebel SOUL$
That's because commercialism and corporate greed took over forcing everyone to live less and consume more. Fear sells, and these days people live in their locked cars and are afraid of their shadows. Truly sad.
It’s so true. Woodstock 1999 was “when the music died.” I was at that concert & besides the legends... it was a lot of music that incited violence. We had to leave early. It was the beginning of the end.
These days it would be "send me a medic" if most of us tried anything like this on a bike...
My hips started to ache during the brief dance scene, here.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
When a simple backflip on a bicycle was the coolest fucking thing youd ever seen. Classic movie and one of the greatest 80s songs ever....curtesy of said movie. Excellent video!
Good old 80s we didn't need wifi or phones to have a great time...lol
LMFAO, yeah, I'm old enough to remember these good ole days. The youth of today wouldn't know how to function properly in an 80s world.

One of the most underrated 80's song.
Joseph Mayfield right! It made the guys who only play with balls hate it.
Joseph Mayfield
Highly Suspect did a cover about a year or so ago...rarely is a cover better than the original but it is. Damn I wish I still had my GT Pro-performer!
This song isn't underrated- everyone I know is aware of this song. It was in Rad, The Wizard, & Teen Wolf Too- seemed like this song was everywhere when I was little!
@@killaklownwerld3614 good taste! My f.b profile pic get the horns. Just built an 85 pro pfmr

57 here,.. the 80's are Never far from my mind !
62 and believe in angels and God
I hate the 2000s so much I have watch these videos put smile on my face . Wish can go on a 1 way trip back to 80s and leave me there life was so easy and perfect.
The 80s were my prime. I was a mere teen growing up in '84-'85! Best times of my life.
Why did these days have to go. The 80's there will never be anther.
totally agree!
@@axelsmith4163 Best musical and social era ever.
Because...the Clintons!
We were blessed, I was born in 1976, bmx was life, for most non skaters. Looking back, life was so innocent then, shame☹️
Born 76 as well. 10 years old when this movie came out. 😳 it was all over. Pink GT pro performer. Santa Cruz skateboard. I was going pro SON.
Born in 75 and still BMX'ing.. Always had GT's in the 80's I ride all Colonys these days 🤙🏻🤙🏻
1977 89 gt pro freestyle tour ! And the hood of gilford park tons river nj !!
I hope they at least took it off a sweet jump.
When is Your Birthday Dude? 1-28-76 here LOL We were born in an interesting time for sure. 80s kids & 90s Teens. Good times.

I was 13 when this movie released. What a time to be alive.
Can I go back 30 years! Please
This coming year this awesome movie is 33yrs😎
Go find Doc Brown...
Yeah... Back when life was cool.
80s teen I'm with ya
Lets go. I'm down...oh if only time machine and time travel was real
No cell phones, or social media no tricks...people talked to eachother life was good, everything meant something 💪
Couldn't agree more.
@@LightYerPipe Born in the early sixties and the 80's were great to grow up in
The 80's was it! Miss it everyday. Love to ride and drop in. It took me 2 months to land my 1st backflip and a few broken bones to go with it lol
80's was the year for me. I also loved dropping in. I probably could've been pro if I didn't tear my Achilles. It took me just over 2 months to mater the back flip with broken bones along the way. I'd a chrome GT performer BMX bike. All I can say is I'd a blast and loved every minute of it.
Thank You Rad.
If there was ever a chance to be condemned to be stock in time I would chose exactly 3650 days from Jan 1st of 1980 to December 31st. Back and forth in a endless loop of joy, feelings of hard but worthy love and the ultimate freedom to mind fly. What a decade the 80s was.
I miss the 80’s all the best music , movies and the teased hair. If I could go back to the 80’s I would stay there.
Carla M same here!!
Me too.
I'll never forget where I was or what I was doing when I first heard this song!! This song captivated me and I've loved it ever since 80s I miss you!
We had bmx trails in town, and rode on bikes. and motorcycles and had alot of fun times! We would watch Rad, then go bmx riding ! The 80's was an awesome time !
This movie deserves way more attention. It's an 80s classic and this video montage is perfect. Well done to whoever made this
Back in the mid 80's, everytime me and my brothers would go to the video store or the (movie club)😄 we would rent this and the skateboard movie "Thrasher" on VHS. Then after we would watch them, we would go outside and get hurt or break something, trying to do the same stunts... lol
Sure miss those days...
Its a Gods gift, to be a kid in the 80ths. Since the year 2000 is everything going bad. We have to make the future allright for the next generation. God bless all people with a good will!
Sin and as you put it, "everything going bad" has been happening since the beginning of time.
God has nothing to do with people being born in the 80's. What if someone has a better life now, or in another decade?
Life itself is a gift. Your comment holds no merit.
@@raynekimi2755 By the way, we are now living in the most important time since the birth of Jesus Christ. Thats the greatest of all gifts ! ! So we have to prove ourselves worthy.
@@SandroM.R. That we do. I concur.
Ahhh yes, Rad... Hadn't thought of it since the 80s... One of the first movies I watched again and again then slipped my mind and was lost since about age 8... Here we are 30 years later.✨😎✨
Love all these comments about how Awesome the 80'S was and still is, totally agree with you all👍🇨🇦♥️
🇦🇺🥰 best era ever...anyone invents a time machine..I'll go back!!
Really nice timing with the editing/mixing, Mulligans. Truly timeless movie and song.
I'm 69 years old and this movie was great. So many actors were in this movie. Anyway God bless have a good day be kind. 👍😊♥️🙏🙏
Thank you For This.
Luv the 80s, we would watch this movie and then go out and ride..... I would give anything to go back
Best damn movie ever!!! I know I watched it over 100 times lol
As a 80's child I will always love this era and it's phenomenal movies & music!!! PURE MAGIC
I grew up in '80s this is still one of my favorite songs from rad
Loved this movie when it came out, and still do. I met quite a few of the riders in this movie at various freestyle exhibitions back in the late 80s.
I was born on 8/11/65 right now is 6/2/24. UNFORGETTABLE!!!!
One hit wonders. The 80's
God I miss that era!!
Yes the 80's were the best.
Loved this back in the day. Still do 30 years later. Actually learned almost every trick .. not the back flip😢
Bloodied and bruised myself so many times doing bmx bike jumps in the 80s. The injuries healed, but the great memories last forever.
lukusr me too, no pads no helmets, just pain but that's temporary. And the place we rode would have made "helltrack" look like a cakewalk. We had a massive area of our subdivision that was not completed some 300 acres of cut roads and foundation excavations that were just left like that. In the foothills of the blue Ridge Mountains so some jumps were very high and steep. One 15 20 feet almost vertical
@@stevenbaker470 I grew up in NC! We never owned helmets when I was growing up, lol. Somehow we survived. 😁❤😁 I just skated but my brother only got a helmet in 1996 because it was required for dirtbike races.
This is why millenials are soft as Charmin. An injury to them is not getting enough likes on a post.
My BMX years were in the very late '80's through the '90's. But we all knew this movie, back to front. Also I got the California Mongoose as a hand-me-down from my cousin in '89.
Pain is temporary, glory is forever.
I remember my fifth grade teacher bringing this movie in for the class to watch! This was the movie that got me into bmx riding as a kid lol and this song always stuck with me 🙌🏽
My neighbors had this vhs and it got us into riding. We watched it over and over.
I was in high school then, and this is still the 80'sist thing in all of 80'sness.
Might be bruh
LEGIT!! Brings back great memories! Good times skating and biking all around town without a care in the world!
