RAD - The
Movie
Back of the box says:
"Cru Jones is the best BMX biker in Cochrane. He's got
the talent to become the best BMX daredevil in the world. As
the local paperboy, he jumps, spins, twists, and flips his bike with
amazing ability. Bart Conner is the best BMX biker in the
world, and he's in town to race for the $100,000 HELLTRACK competition,
the most grueling BMX race in history. Cru wants a shot at winning the
title, but his mom, Talia Shire, insists he take his college entrance
exams which fall on the same day. For the first time in his life, Cru
has to make his own decisions. He decides to go for Helltrack, but Jack
Weston the race promoter, has a dirty scheme for keeping the local whiz
kid out of the race and away from his prized champion. Only the gorgeous
Lori Loughlin, a member of the opposite team, can get Allen on track
for Helltrack! And teach him a few other things while she's at it!".
RAD
is out of print so good luck finding a copy, it's on Embassy Home
Entertainment and some of the cooler video rental stores might have
a copy.
You'll recognize Lori Loughlin from the TV sitcom "Full
House" as well as a lot of other flix's, she was in plenty
of teen type movies as she was growing up and was one of my fantasy
girls in the 80's.
Bart Conner is a BMX Pro and overall bad guy of the movie,
Bart was a US Olympic gold medallist in the 198? Olympics. I
don't know how he got this part but as a kid who was actively racing
back then, I remember it being hard to believe that he was actually
a BMX Pro!

Eddie Fiola is responsible for the stunt work in RAD.
Bill Allen actually had to die his hair darker for the movie
so that he and Eddie would look alike. There is one
scene where "Cru" does a 360 out of an empty swimming
pool, which was a signature Eddie Fiola move back in the
day, when Eddie use to race and pull 360's at the end of
his moto's. RL Osborn did some riding for the movie,
he was filmed doing airs on the "TOL" ramp at
Wizard Publications and he did some flatland with Eddie,
at the end of movie as the credits were rolling.

I met Eddie at Cooks Corner, Orange County, California (local
Harley bar). Eddie rides a Yamaha R1 street bike , I
think he said he lives in Long Beach, California (where I'm
originally from). His wife, who is HOT, was riding a
motorcycle in a BMW motorcycle safety video. Eddie was
cool as hell & fit, he doesn't look older at all! Eddie
also rides Yamaha dirt bikes at Saddleback Motocross, its
a cool track that replaces the one that used to be there 20-30
years ago (Orange County, California). Eddie rips the
dirt bike too. The track closes this Tuesday due to
the lake next to it, I don't know exactly why? Anyway,
I wont get to talk with Eddy anymore at the track, I just
hope I see him somewhere else !!!!!
If you know how to get a hold of Eddie King of the skate parks
let me know. |
