For those of us born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s, Rad was a movie that meant so much. As BMX freestyle was such a popular thing

This was filmed at my school, in and around my neighborhood, and I was even an extra.  It was just being part of the crowd but I was given free PB&J sandwiches and I got to watch these amazing BMXers ride that course all day.  It was heaven.

This movie inspired an entire generation of BMX riders, many who continue to ride well into their 40s and 50s.

My Mom died when I was young but we wore this VCR tape out while she was alive.She used to take me to get a vanilla milkshake from McDonalds and a BMX magazine and I would tell her all the new parts out.These were good days.

At 42 years old i still watch RAD and Thrashin several times a year.  Takes me back to the days of a kid riding bikes and skateboards with my friends in the neighborhood

I don't care what critics say about this movie, it's my favorite childhood movie, and it's still my favorite movie now.

growing up, this movie was never available to rent. People would rent it and keep it for weeks at a time. Glad it is in digitial hd now.

I watched this movie I swear 50 times growing up lol. Loved this one!

I've seen this movie over 150 times easy growing up. Going by my cousin's house with my bmx bike tied down in the trunk of my father's car started off some of my best childhood memories. You can't replace that. I feel sorry for the kids of the digital world, because the digital world takes away most of the magic for a child early in life in addition to kids making bonds that last a life time.

Rad was one of my favorite movies growing up.  I used to spend countless hours learning all of the bike stunts, and to this day, one of my favorite songs is still "Thunder in your Heart".

Nobody ever makes the connection but I still randomly slip in the quote 'you over-rotated!' whenever it applies

The songs "thunder in your heart" and "breaking the ice", to me they are as iconic as any inspiring song in the Rocky movies. If you love the movie rad you know exactly what I mean. Great review minty, been waiting for this one for a long time.

Who wouldn't want to dance on their BMX Bike to "Send me an Angel?"

I was born in '83. My mom told me that i watched rad so many times that she had to buy a second copy. This literally defined my youth. I went on to ride BMX long into my 20's. Most all of my friends in my teens were made while riding bikes.

as a kid crowing up in the 80's this was one of my favorite movies

Cue the slow motion
“Do you believe in heaven above....?”
Gotta love the 80s

Send me an angel is still my favorite song to this day thanks to RAD.

The dance scene might be the greatest and most 80s seen in any movie

I miss the hell out of my BMX days. I raced for 4 years and won several trophies. I must say they were the best days of my life. The 80's rock and always will 🤘🤘🤘🤘

8:30 "Thunder in your heart" is a song lost in time that is a "CLASSIC"
