[waitandbleedtodeath]

Thanks a lot for uploading this movie. I watched this when I was 10 years old. now I`m 30.

[dsdan83]

i really like the opening song, would anyone know what it is called? 1986 i think had the best music ever.

[slapfunk]

@dsdan83 "Break the Ice" by John Farnham. Truly a masterpiece.

[dsdan83]

@slapfunk

Yeah I found it later, but thanks anyway. It's a really cool song but I will never get anyone today to like it.

[Beatlesfan4life30]

@slapfunk agreed this movie has a classic 80's soundtrack !

[theStingerD]

I love this movie, had ever since i was a kid. One question that has been bugging me this whole time is what brand of bike is cru jones riding in this movie!!! i cant find out anything on the internet!!!

[esopxe]

@theStingerD It's a Mongoose.  There is actually one of these on Ebay right now that looks just like the one in the movie.

Thumbs up if you want to be help....

[MrJlaramie666]

[TheCodedaddy]

[thorazine666]

THIS IS STILL MY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iampoopman]

Does anyone know where this was filmed? I was told it was at my old high school but it looks nothing like it... But it was filmed 20 years before I went there haha. If anyone has any info that'd be great!

[clydeburkey]

I was about 14 when this came out .I'm 44 now I can do some of the trick not all of them

[samater16]

@clydeburkey how are you 44 if you were 14 when this came out? arent you 39?

[Beatlesfan4life30]

this movie brings me back used to watch this and Thrasher all the time......used to have a Redline bike ....they need to make another good BMX movie there really has not been a good one sence this came out in the 80's thats just sad.......and this stuff is way harder then it looks.......i was totally routing for the BMX group that appeared on America's got Talent this past year.

[theubc]

@Beatlesfan4life30

hahhahaah my neighbor feels the exact same way hes 30 and he used to watch them every day!!!!! hahah you guys would be best friends!

[deboelo9]

this movie is ill son i grew up on this i was a 90s kid i had that blue with white gt performer at :54 sec my older cousin gave it to me when i was a kid he grew up during this movie time but the bike got stolen

[Beatlesfan4life30]

@deboelo9 that sucks man ......believe it or not my Redline was stolen also when i moved that was a really sad day .......the redline bike was worth about $1000 back in the 80's...........

[psykosel]

laughed my ass off when Cru appeared on Tosh.0

[laziiidan]

I feel so lucky to have had this as a part of my childhood

[bcroadbuilder]

This movie rocks I even bought a Dyno bike off ebay and started riding again. Old guys still ride too just because your 30 does not mean you still cant live the dream

[Littlewolf34]

@bcroadbuilder I stareted again too(also in my 30's)but went the mountain bike way.Forget how much fun bikes can be.

[nickthastick]

@bcroadbuilder I loved my VFR, me a two of my friends had the same bikes, just different color decals!! Those were the days!!

[sunmotor1000]

@bcroadbuilder Hey I'm 41 and I still ride occasionally. Got back into skate boarding too...Dropping in on the half pipe

[montyburns12345]

@sunmotor1000 they let u have skateboards at the old folks home? ;) j/k keep rockin it dude.

[jim280zx]

anyone who dislikes this is a fuk

[kainliam]

old shcool



[howlers8]

Man this brings back memories. I used to go out after watching it, hop on my bike,. Racing around the neighborhood, challenging my friends to races, trying the tricks, and going up to the track we had built..or rather the older kids had. big jumps, moguls, one I called the catepillar because it was one undulating 6ft off the ground stretch, and one big 100 yard half pipe carved out of the interior of a stand of trees. they tore it down when I was about 23-24. built a school.

[kraussinator]

what highschool is it? This movie is cutting edge. old school freestyle. Skymaster!

[DamnElevator]

they filmed this at my high school

[TabbitMaster]

LMFAO at 8:45

[pablorodriguez5555]

[burkey426]

[MrGdeng]

5 people that disliked this video are skateboarders

[bcroadbuilder]

Well who ever doesnot like this movie is fucked and should go see a shrink!!

[bcsnakeeyes]

ok maybe you guys can tell me what movie im thinking of is, its about a skateboarder,and at the end of the ovie he has a major downhill race to do. its was made in the 80s i think?

[chrish1028]

@bcsnakeeyes  THRASHIN' (staring Josh Brolin)

[SgtSMOKE78]

@bcsnakeeyes its called gleaming the cube!!!

[bcsnakeeyes]

ok maybe you guys can tell me what movie im thinking of is, its about a skateboarder,and at the end of the ovie he has a major downhill race to do.

[DannyAshcroft]

@bcsnakeeyes Really not sure... but i remember seeing an oldschool skateboard movie named gleaming the cube quite a few years back. Maybe this is it?

[ladyschoice34]

I swear this movie needs to be on blu ray I mean bmx bandits is on blu ray and its not even half as good as this movie (Rad is the best bike movie ever!)

[MrNickybarnes]

Ok dudes...Lets walk this sucker!!!!!, this movie was insanely great!

[GJJTexas]

[TheLackofattack]

[Jamonem80]

This used to be my favorite movie and still is one of my all time favorite. I will show my son this movie as soon as I can get the DVD! I miss these days!

[sixdaywarstories]

I never realized how Mongoose put their name on the line by letting this movie portray their owner as a crooked alcoholic , and their riders as arrogant jerks.

[SuperPittbull27]

[iwannawat990]

Cru's bike looks like Hutch model, the handlebars are made by Hutch therefore no doubt the entire bike is a Hutch.

[BigBearfromthe206]

[dweebcentric]

@naughtyskweet6 - ha! that was like with the monster squad before they finally got the rights sorted out and put it on dvd. i'm sure the same will eventually happen for this movie, given the cult following.

You guys who are looking for it on dvd might check Amazon. I've also got a friend who's got a deal that converts vhs' to dvd.

[dpitt72]

I watched this so much as a kid...I wore out my VHS copy and then spent a fortune renting it over and over again.

[TheNoisePolluter]

The only thing I don't like is how these good days are now in the past :-(

[Deee36]

@TheNoisePolluter I know, so many people including me have the same feeling we do.

[WarHuSker]

@TheNoisePolluter Amen Brother!!

[KobraSlice]

[Nacob07]

[BMXorHOMICIDE]

racing is the past.. Street's the new GEN!

[drft103]

Indian give @ 4:55

[9330U3]

greatest opening to a movie, by far

[avriltraynta]

Man after 20 long years i get to see this movie again..Thank you to the one who posted this..

[859jack]

Hey st14ticblu i don't think they would react differant at all, cause Joe Johnson was doing 720 tail whips back in in the 80's.

[Lloydz]

Amen. Break the Ice. Do it. DO IT NOW!

[kcin125]

i ride at an indoor skatepark called rad i think they got the name from this movie

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

I watched the crap outa this film when I raced BMX. Still one of my favorites, along with "BMX Bandits".

[vipersix76]

Watched this when I was a kid.

[BMXingfool96]

i found out about this movie from some weirdo who works in a light store me and my friend went into and he kept talking about this movie b/c he saw our bmx bike lol

[st4ticblu3]

I wonder how people then would react to a 540 tail whip. :p

[tssmsu]

I miss my DYNO bike :-(

[xXZoNoZXx]

The Awesome thing is , i recognize almost all the areas in this movie since i live in Calgary >.>

[tommychevytommy]

awesome i remember buying a General Bike. Remember that brand..

[droan999]

2:18 so ill

[omarkaya42]

I can't believe how much I LOVED this as a kid. I looked at these freestylers like they were Gods. Yeah, if I had been 25 at the time I could probably afford a wicked rat tail and hop on the front tire of my bike pretty well. I'm all for nostalgia, but this is pure cheese.

[locnar777]

@kicktothecurb10. yup and princes island park. and my jr high school. and Rad stands for Radical

[kibong1979]

rad stands for?

[thelastdon1]

@kibong1979 Rad is short for Radical. A common expression that we used to use back in the day to give a compliment i.e. "That move was radical"

[tommychevytommy]

@kibong1979 radical

[99jerseyboy]

OMG!! I'm in Heaven now! I have been looking 4 this movie to buy forever! It defines my childhood to the max! GNARLY DUDE! :) My first true bike was a Haro Sport. Then I got a Haro Master, GT World Tour ($500, in 88) and a Hoffman Condor! Martin Aparijo, Dave Voelker, Ron Wilkerson and Dennis McCoy were my all-time favorite riders and my inspiration! Ron and Dennis did a show in Fair Lawn, NJ at Amber Cyclery, then Martin won a contest at WPC riding a pink bike! Thanks 4 uploading BMX history!!!

[tommychevytommy]

@99jerseyboy 10-4 dude!!!

[pacificimporters]

@99jerseyboy it's cool to hear about other guys from those days! we rented this movie on VHS every single Friday, then went out to hit the pavement on our GT Pro Performers so shed some blood and sweat lol. God I miss reading BMX Plus and hanging out at the Bike Barn and Spoke Shop on Walzem Road in San Antonio. Represent!

[djitobase]

@99jerseyboy bro how could you forget about eddie fiola gt 's champ.

[davektm5257]

Do they make a soundtract for this movie?, cause I really digg it.

[littleratt12]

ok people...im just curious here...am i the only one here in USA that spent a whole load of money to buy bike parts and learning how to make a radd bike like these? ..lol

[oldmetalrules]

I love this movie reminds me of my riding days ... I had a mongoose fs-1 sky blue with white skyway mags ...the good ole days

[narsakulover247]

@oldmetalrules im 14 i got a haro acs z mags
