I finally got it on DVD. I have never seen it, I thought I had. I started watching it last night, and need to finish it...but it was cool cause the band leader from Dirty Dancing is in it, and Ray Walston (Mr. Hand) is in it too. It is pretty low budget...but I love the clothes! I love the way boys dressed...everyone looks clean cut. I remember my brother and his best friend, use to go up to the church parking lot right up by our house, every chance they got, and they would practice doing stunts on their BMX bikes. They built ramps and would do stunts in our alley way too, in front of our house. It was pretty cool stuff. I remember my brother would save all his allowance, and we both had paper routes, and he would save all his money from it for parts for his bike. My brother grew up to ride in bicycle marathons for charity, so I think it is so cool when you see a movie that inspires you to go out and do stuff in real life that you see in the movies. I loved riding my 10 speed everywhere. This week I am going to go buy a new mountain bike, so my husband and I can start riding again. I have missed bike riding so much. I can hardly wait. Does anyone else ride a bike still???
Has anyone else seen the movie American Flyers?? I love that movie.

RAD was cool. I have the VHS.
I still have a bike but I don't ride that much as I used to. I remember Some friends and I did a lot of stunts on a bike. Long time ago.

I have the movie on VHS and still have my 1984 GT Pro Performer, completely refurbished with all new OS parts. Purple and white.

eBay sealed 'import' DVD perchance?
I have the laserdisc, much higher quality than any of the bootleg DVDs floating about on eBay, originally bought the VHS and really liked it then managed to get the laserdisc cheap.

RAD was BAD...and I dont mean "bad" in a good way! My friends little brother rented that movie one weekend and watched it non-stop. I dont think I will ever forget the big "dance number" between the guy and Lori Loughlin to REAL LIFE's Send Me An Angel....while on bikes!!!

Okay, confession time, I at one time had a Haro Freestyler bike. Anyone remember those? I thought I was all cool with my dice caps, mushroom grips and pegs! I never took it off any sweet jumps though...Man I miss my bike !

Rad has eluded me all these years, but I hope to one day add that and Night of the Creeps to my collection. I was aBMX kid too, I had the bike and the helmet. I remember building this crazy ramp, and I jumped, but remember the landing being particularly rough on my family jewels.
