I saw Rad when I was 25,it had been in circulation for almost 4 yrs. now; I couldnt believe how hooked I became, the very first time I saw it. Cru's story is a roar that pounds thru all the hearts of those who have any attachment to bmx whatsoever! It is rather ironic that people my age weren't as into it, as, our own children are today! I have yet to meet any my age whom are still into bmx & possess a passion for the sport-how familiar,as a teen there wasnt anyone my own sex;I'll take that back-there is one--"Cru Jones", he is my age & he's still riding;now that says alot for having passion for something!!! Rad symbolizes that undieing passion;there's no better way to describe it & if you don't ride, you'll never understand it!!! And, "Cru Jones" is the personification of the thunder that beats in our hearts,"rare" breed that we are, we dare to be different, "Cru" is nothing more than a crystal clear reflection of the man behind the character!!! I couldn't help but be caught; hook,line & sinker........I was only 20 when the movie came out,bmx was still in its youth,"Cru" is my generation--we started this sport,in our back yards,ball fields & anyplace we could take our bikes.
It was 20 yrs. later, before I'd got the chance to see the movie again......my heart still pounds like crazy when I watch it, that'll never change;because I feel "Cru's" determination & drive...this wasn't all acting here,there was real feelings poured into this film,this kid had real talent/and,now he's inspiring our sons & daughters to go grab a bike & "Do it in the Dirt", ya gotta love it !!!! I know I do!!!!!!
