Rad
If you’ve heard of Cru Jones, Bart Taylor, the Reynolds twins and/or Hell Track, there’s a good chance we would be friends. Potentially the foundation of my youth, Rad was not just the word on the street, it was the best movie ever.
Aside from this piece of BMX excellence, this film is host to several other fundamental pieces of greatness. For starters, it’s produced by Jason Schwartzman’s Dad, and his Mom (Talia Shire a.k.a. Michael Corleone’s sister, Connie and Rocky’s Adrianne), is Cru’s Mother. What may heavier than the cast of characters is the fact that there’s a place called Hell Track, and a completely amazing flatland-dance off to Send Me An Angel. This, my friends, is a tall order and I still get chills just thinking about it.
It get’s in your eyes, it’s making you cry. Don’t know what to do. Don’t know what to do…
