This video just made my day. RAD is my favorite movie of all time. Awesome bike build btw. I miss my GT Mach One! I used to tear it down and rebuild it all the time. The camera work and music on this video was great too! Totally RAD! "OH MY HEART A BACKFLIP, HULK HOGAN EAT YOUR HEART OUT" :-)
Awesome build. Your handlebars look different from the bike in the movie. I watched it religiously as a grom. I remember many race bikes had tiny seats back in the day. I would think having it raised so high would interfere with peddling hard and getting lower in the air off jumps
I still get that feeling I got as a kid every time I hear the opening music and that Haro launches...80s were such a sick time for BMX. - Great build video.
Similar in my hometown, we had BMX, Skateboards, and Surfing. So RAD, Thrashin, and North shore were our movies! This bike turned out beautiful 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I hope that's a 22.6mm diameter seat post instead of a far more common 7/8" (22.2mm) diameter seat post. You'll damage your frame if you clamp a 7/8" seat post in there without a 22.2-to-22.6mm shim. If it is 22.6mm, where did you find it? Also, you have it adjusted really high. Is it inserted to the minimum depth marking? You can get Pro Class lookalike rims from BMXGuru for $40-something each, and you can also get a pair of full wheels built around those rims for around $200. It would be great to have originals, but they are big money, especially if you want ones that are new or like new. Pro Class rims aren't the only things you're missing, by the way. Those handlebars are wrong too. The handlebars that came on Mongoose loop tails for several years in the 1980s had a very high cross bar, about as high as the grips, and Cru's bike had those stock handlebars. His two best friends' bikes had them too, because they were Blue Max brand, which was just Mongoose under a different name (made by BMX Products, Inc., same as Mongoose). Your XC-II style bear trap pedals are wrong too. Cru's bike had the stock platform pedals (SR P-468), complete with the stock reflectors still attached. Your Viscount Dominator seat is wrong. Cru's bike had the stock seat which was a Selle Royal Aeroyal lookalike. Your hinged Dia-Compe seat post clamp is the right type, but it was silver on Cru's bike (which is the stock color) rather than blue. Your A'ME Tri grips are wrong. You can buy officially licensed reproductions of the stock Mongoose grips which were made using the original molds, for about $30, from the same place that I assume you got your reproduction decals from. And it should have small diameter axle pegs on the back. Remember the scene where Cru's sister was riding on his pegs?
Awesome build.. Rad was and still one of my favorite movies growing up in the 80s. Check this out . I built my Rad BMX diorama. To honor Rad ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OAM95Pt23Oo.htmlsi=Trr2KXPTnebSfLPx
Cool. I remember my first bike's colors but not the brand. My white Predator is the one i remember most. I had another but it got stolen. We'd watch this movie & then go out & try tricks. We werent successful...but fun times
_I had a GT m1 and it blaci and chrome with 5 stars rims and my Best Bro had gotten his hands on a Skyway that is the Lightest Trick Bike in the world But anyway i heard my dog in the back yard barking up a storm and i went outside where my bike was at on the front porch and i was too late yo These cats had ganked my bike and allready riding over the Lakes Dam of one my familys Lake and it was a connector to a dead end that connects to the neighborhood thats butted up to my neighborhood and I was so Mad the one day that didnt put my bike in the backyard or sometimes i would just bring it into my bedroom because the GT was one of the baddest trick bikes Expecially after we all watched the movie rad yo Rad was my favorite movie ever then gleaming the cube was a good movie _
