My mom bought me it on dvd last year. My brother and I used to rent it all the time when we where kids.

How come the cop did not pull his gun at 3:54?

"You'll shoot your eye out kid"

[seth399]

aha yes, I saw that several times....though not half as good as RAD unfortunately.

[JohnnyV]

I think I've seen RAD at LEAST 100 times haha that movie rocks.

Anyone else read 'Minibike Challenge' as a kid also? That book easily is the one thing that got me hooked on bikes at a young age.

i remember that flick, too funny.

just rented another classic from back around then, "Winners Take All" the bike plastics and gear were a crack up, threw me back

I had a Simpson helmet like that, minus the lightning bolt. But I did have the Hurricane Hannah lightning bolts on my Bell Moto III!
Nice to see a 2 stroke actually sounding like one on screen. Bugs me to no end to have 4 stroke audio with 2 stroke video.

OMG, I have a vague memory of watching this on tv. There was always cool bike related stuff on tv when I was growing up. Superbikers, GPs, afterschool specials, CHiPs, Evel K, On any Sunday, etc. What do we get now? Chopper shows?

[Chippertheripper]

On any Sunday?

[gregp]

I always enjoyed "Little Fauss and Big Halsy"...

[breakdirt916]

hmm...only being allowed to watch TV on weekends as a kid clearly hampered my cinematic literacy...looks like I've got a few more good titles to catch up on

so your early love of dirt bikes slowly evolved into a fascination and authentic interest, right? and that means you're getting one or borrowing Matt's, right?

heck you can borrow one of mine, and you live 5 mins away from the trails...let's get out there!!

...well after May 1st, that is.
