Strap in for a nostalgia-fueled adventure as Hock, Matt, Zap, and I spin the cranks of memory lane to revisit an '80s BMX marvel, "Rad." It's more than a movie review—it's a rad reunion as we recall the thrills of Rad Day, chuckle over the film's box office faceplant, and honor the fearless direction of Hal Needham. From the peculiar leaf-painting antics in Canada to the star-studded cast, this episode promises to deliver a whirlwind tour through the quirks and charms that cement this flick in cult classic territory.
Remember the rush of executing your first BMX trick? We do! Join us as we dissect the very fibers of '80s BMX and skateboarding films, complete with high-flying stunts and those unmistakable fashion faux pas. We peel back the layers of "Rad," discussing the characters and the storyline that left us rooting for the underdog. Throughout our jaunt, we sprinkle in personal bike tales and throw some shade at the hilarious stunt double snafus that were all too common in the films of the day.
To cap it off, we wax poetic about the vintage bikes that once ruled our world, from the legendary GT Mach One to the elusive Hutch Trickstar. Our trip down this retro road is littered with reflections on the fading sight of kids shredding on BMX bikes and ramps, and we muse over the collector's gold mine these bikes have become. So, grab your Ol' Dirty Basement pad, and let's share in these two-wheeled memories together. And hey, don't forget to ride this wave of nostalgia over to our social channels – we're always down to hear your tales from the BMX tracks and skate parks of yesteryear.
