"Rad" 25th Anniversary Screening Uptown Theatre - Bicycle Boogie On Stage

To everyone's surprise, Eddie Fiola and Martin Aparijo recreate the famous "bicycle boogie" dance scene from Rad after the 2nd film screening at the Uptown Theatre on 8/19/11.

[@jdorf40]

Unreal. I think RAD was the only movie that I watched more than Top Gun as a kid. Just watched it for the first time in probably 20 years and knew every word line for line. LOL

[@cartern2]

YESS!! I must've made my mom rent this at least 20 times from the Great Scott!

[@carladolphson2367]

I loved that movie as well! I also remember watching a break dancing movie with a character named bazooka, can't recall the name...that movie, top gun, GI Joe and Karate Kid

[@jdorf40]

Breakin' is what it was called Carlos. With Turbo.

[@ThreeLions82]

Glad they never decided to remake the film,they would have butchered it.

[@ottomaddox7105]

packerd00 heard that they were remaking it..they're casting a African-American for the lead role..should be pretty dope

[@ventarfield7115]

Im 43. My Mom and Dad just got me a Rad Racing T-shirt for my birthday! Finally helping Cru pay for those race fees! Eddie and Martin are legends!

Is anyone else Impressed how they can still do these moves? And still flawless , respect

[@SKi_Maskk03]

My dad did this when he was younger, I'm 20 now and bought my first BMX Bike myself. I have put almost 300+ USD into it just for some parts where I can do Flatland, I have gotten this one trick down, ⅔ of the way at least, I just need my gyro to complete the trick 😂

[@SKi_Maskk03]

I think my dad is proud I am picking up where he left off pretty much. He was badass on a bike.

[@sidartha96]

These guys's performance moved me to tears. Reminded me of the time when I had seen the film RAD and how the film inspired me to pick up a BMX and try out all the stunts. The movie still plays on my mind and reminds of my childhood. Those were the days when having a BMX bike was the greatest thing on the world. All in all an awesome performance.

I agree . Everybody who rode a bike as a kid try to do tricks on theirs . It’s just dope to see these guys still have it at older age . #Radclassic

This movie, and Commando, I can recite word for word to this day . . . LITERALLY! Holy Hell. How many of us in here would watch this movie then go straight outside and hop on the bike; come back in and watch RAD again, go back outside ride the bike again? Many of summer days spent in that perpetual loop

Me and my friends got hooked on bmx after watching rad,we even build a huge quarter pipe in high-school wood shop as a project and we all got alot of road rash from that thing over the next few months till we got better

Need Rad Blu-ray release!!!

[@rauldiaz1880]

I THINK IS ON BLUE RAY ALREADY

[@scottpaterson8220]

it got a 4k release but it sold out quickly. You can find it on ebay for 200+ now. It is from a company called Vinegar Syndrome, most people have never heard of this company since they release mostly B movies. some people thought it was a fake release

[@paintballworrior1]

I’m 43 and this was the greatest film of my year added to my collection. Cru was the best!

[@nesone6520]

This movie was the best back in the day. We would watch it, and then go out and try to do the same tricks. I forced my 3 kids to watch it a couple years ago on Father's Day, and they actually loved it!

[@vitalbikechains]

Aparijo is just so smooth and flawless. I didn’t think about it back in the day but I see it now when I look back through old videos.

[@mtnmann72]

These two guys gave me inspiration to freestyle in the 80's. Now I enjoy mountain biking in my later years, but I still pull off a trick or two from that era and impress my friends. What a great time to be a teen. They will always be my first biking idols.

[@tonytlly]

I freaking loved this! I was 16 when this movie came out and it blew me away. Kids today don't realize how cush their lives are compared to when I was a teen. So when a movie came out like this for us to see. It was epic! I so want Rad to be on a DVD!

[@Stacegirl]

It's on Amazon!

[@Ducksauce33]

There's no real dvd release, just a bootleg ripped from the laser disc release. With a printed dvd sleeve. I saw it on a avgn video.

[@robmclean5284]

That was sick af. Loved the movie. I was young but this movie and album stuck with with me. To be a kid again.

[@jalostotitlan99]

LOL! I am always telling my kids how there will never be another time like the 80s. in history no better era to have lived in as a young adult than the 1980s!!! I am so grateful for the experiences I lived through.

[@mikieson]

I just got to meet Eddie here in Vegas on the 20th..was many years in the making but I finally got to see him..we talked A LOT..he told some stories, we all watched RAD and he explained things that were going on..I got to ride HIS bike, we had a great time. My 1st experience meeting any pro and I have to say I was blown away..he didnt ride MUCH as he just had hip surgery a few weeks ago..LOVE 80s and oldschool ROCKS!!!!

[@heff41]

Epic. I have seen Rad 2000 times, and would watch it 2000 more thanks Guys

[@lcash365]

For some of us 40somethings, the memory of watching RAD as a kid brings back the wonder of growing up. Which makes watching this clip today weirdly emotional.

[@tochamp5441]

Can we please go back to 80’s life was so much better back then. Rad was a childhood favorite especially since we had a local bmx track to race on.

[@FrankieDaix1978]

I honestly watched rad at least 500 times This movie meant the world to me and my brother we still watch it and ride at 37 and 41

[@tonyprime5029]

I agree with a previous comment-this movie completely changed my life. At 12 years old I knew this was what I would do and give it my all. Now 26 years later I'm so proud of what I've done. Still ride--more cautious, but this movie was the genesis of my identity.

[@SgtKong]

I love how they're just both having fun and enjoying one another showing off a competitiveness and professionalism

hells yeah! martin and eddie two of my all time favorites 🤙

[@donfrance3]

The RAD BMX freestyle movement continues in South Bend, Indiana, at a training indoor park called The Kitchen BMX Skatepark. It is an incredible indoor BMX dream with 33,000 plus square feet area of ramps, jumps, and foam pit to practice extreme aerials and flips. You have to go there and see it to believe it. This movie inspired thousands into the sport and it is a 2020 Olympic event in Japan now.

I had the pleasure of meeting Eddie Fiola for a whole weekend when I was 16 & I have to say he’s one of the funniest guys I ever met , I was sitting next to him on his right side when a friend of mine had a stun gun , Eddie asked him to see it , he took it & zapped his own leg with it & was like ok that’s enough . I was like your crazy I even got to ride with him that whole weekend . I was working for a bike shop that a friend worked for at the cavalcade of customs car show in Cincinnati Ohio , they needed help so I was there to sell stuff with them ,never got payed but had the greatest time of my life .

As a teenage this movie change my life and kept me out of trouble. From sun up to sun down I was on trying new tricks on my Mongoose Decade Pro.

And these two guys (along with other pioneers like Woody, Mike, Ron, and then Dennis a little later) laid the blueprint for all of us. Eddie still smooth, and Martin still with that energy. I miss my tricked out Haro Sport and practicing tricks for hours until I nailed it. Great memories.
