The sad part is that all the decades since haven't even really made it close. The 90's were pretty good, but the 2000's were a train wreck after 9/11 happened and the endless wars in the Middle East. So scratch 2000-2009. 2010-2019 was "meh". Terrible decline in music. So many more restrictions in society. So much more hatred. The 2020-2029 decade has already been ruined by covid-19. Nothing can save this disaster of a decade no matter what happens now.
@@taekwondotime Yeah, the late 90s were KILLER good... ...but then 9/11, intelligence agencies went super-corrupt, big tech is utilized by THE MAN, the globalists started their full-on march of wokeness and population controls... and here we are.. the left keeps racism and bigotry alive, and the pendulum NEEDS to swing back to sanity.
@@notimeforjokes.3570You’re so wise. So smart and so wise. Teach me oh smart and wise one-who clearly isn’t miserable and knows when to tell others that their nostalgia is getting too literal for reality. Help me be more grounded like you by telling people you can’t shove babies back inside of wombs (…which I gotta say is one seriously obscure analogy to have gone with when the toothpaste one was honestly right there for you already lol 🤦🏻♂️)
@@Vikanuck well you’ll have to start small on this journey of enlightenment. First, look around, you shouldn’t see rectum everywhere, that’s wrong. Start by removing your head from your ass. Things will become clearer, your awareness will improve. After you do that, check back in with me, we’ll try something else. Good luck.
We say that now but you’re watching and commenting on RU-vid with access to Millions of songs. We couldn’t even fathom that in the 80’s. It’s cool to appreciate the 80’s (I was born in 81) but I do not wanna go back to 1986 I’m too used to 2020
80s were absolutely amazing. Just the right balance of hope, fun, opportunity, and family. We had a taste of technology but didn't choke on it like we do today.
Everything happened in the 80s All the movies the music , toys , fashion , concerts , sporting events , break dancing , skating , hip hop , the best games , the best sugary cereals , arcade games , the blockbuster movie , the sports cars , the cliché , you name it
Born 78 and would give anything to go back to those days! Bullys made me tougher! Getting rejected made me try harder! Independence taught me I am responsible for what I do as long as I was home bye the street lights 🤣.
Sounds like u grew up in SC. I was born in 79 same applied. And our parents knew where we were because our dog was in the front yard at whoever friends house I was at.
Goonies never say die! We'll always cherish those times. I'm right there with you. I miss it too. Too much hype these days. Nothing like simplicity sometimes u know. 80's rock forever.😎
1979 baby here 🥳🥳🥳! I was barely cognizant until I was 4 😝 but still, I have full respect and appreciation for the ‘80s! Love the movies, music (androgynous boy bands), the clothes, hair and makeup, video and board games, toys, etc. ❤️!
Same!! Born in '74 and damn do I miss the 80's!!! We we're the last of a dying breed... kids will never get to realize what youth was meant to be like!!
The 80's were incredible with songs like this on MTV and the radio, no other decade has produced so many unique songs that touch the soul and pull on your heart strings, for those who grew up with songs like this, we were damn lucky!
I want to go back to the 80's but not be a kid again, just enjoy the music, No Cellphone, No internet, and no F'n social media! Land lines and analog t.v. Hoo Ra!
Pray for an emp. . there's a good chance it's coming soon. Mid pole shift. Check out Suspicious Observers chan / vids. (Would but us back out of the digital age)
@@tony22990 It will happen. You can either live life til it ends and be reborn into it, or do what the mistery schools of Pythagorus taught, and choose to be as a child to go beyond the veil. ;)
This was awesome on so many levels! Man, little 10yr old me thought this, and BMX Bandits were the coolest "tuffest" things in the world back then. Still totally rad, and probably responsible for getting little Indiana boys like myself to push the limits into what has become extreme sports. The 80's created so much of what is awesome today, extreme sports, the home gaming console wars, breakdancing, music videos, etc... It was such a great time to be a kid.
You nailed it-80's started what is now cool~looking back I think my neighbors had to be aliens because EVERYTHING they did was weird then but is now cool! Early 80'S and they had....ramps for skate board and bike tricks, weed, DnD, model rockets, remote control cars, planes, a sail powered land car! A biker and his road gal got maried and had these awesome hippi kids, who are now doctors, engineers, teacher, parent and one burnt out that eventually made good. Think wonder years meets Stranger things meets that 70's shows-thats the circus of my childhood. Got my first guitar at forbes maher to play 'living after midnight', and roland j106 to jam 80's synth. Magical.
Say that again, seeing how out of touch these kids are these days..I miss the late 80's when kids did could actually Express themselves freely and be given credit for it. This current generation is plagued with insecurity.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!! RAD forever in my heart. Everything about this movie is exactly how I want my life to be. SEND ME BACK TO THE 80s and send me an angle haha. Never get bored of this movie and soundtracks. No other BMX movie can top this. Time sure flies!! I’m lucky I grew up in the 80s & 90s. The best eras ever!!! BMX around the neighbour, do paper route, sell lemonade, actually play on a ground, go BLOCKBUSTER or ROGERS rent VHS then became DVD’s, car pool, play snooker. Let me be a young teen one more time. Pay phones, to cord phones, to pagers to big ass cell phones. younger generation nowadays are just spoiled period.
Ya but it wasn't all that great people disappeared to never be found then...had the shittiest cars made then...no technology that we have now that can save lives...and the internet is an amazing thing people can stay and work from home and be completely safe
Chris Lovato more people go missing now than back then and we are far more advanced, seems the technology you speak of is still shit in regards to finding people 🤨
@@chrislovato1336 Internet was the worst invention ever, people have lost the touch to nature, to life and to each other, everyone sticks at their phones, and social media degenerated the people to an all new low
@@chrislovato1336 Safety? no thank you, I will not sacrifice anything for freedom. More technology = more misery but efficient in almost all work businesses with lesser human energy spent i'll give you that, but it feels like it isn't worth it to be honest. Many cars from then look like futuristic spacecrafts which are far removed from the cars we see nowadays although they do look quite good in their own ways but very different from then.
So fortunate to grow up in Thee 1980's! Truly Magical time! Remember watching "Rad" for the first time......afterwards me and my brothers and cousins immediately took our bikes out back and built a Half Pipe and some jumps......Miss those days so much. Still have this on VHS along with Thrashin and Gleaming the Cube and pretty much every other timeless classic movie from the 80s. Best Movies, Music, Cartoons ( lol), Best Decade Period!!!! RIP 80s!!
Man, This song and this movie make me think back to a time when life was so much simpler. A time when all you had to worry about was being home in time for supper, or before it got dark. Sure do miss those days.😔...
I’m old enough to live the 60’s,a fantastic time. Then the 80’s hit. Damn,the best music,the best girls,the best everything. My divorce came in ‘83,from then on it was epic. I was there for the premier of MTV on cable,and all the great videos that came after. Now it’s all gone,never to return. But at least,when I’m on my deathbed (or wherever I finally croak) I will know I lived thru the most sensual and open times ever.
He's doing flatland on a mongoose racing/dirt jumping bike. They make flat land bikes shorter like an 18"-19" top tube. Racing bikes, dirt jumping bikes and street riding/skate park bikes usually have a 21" top tube. My buddy who is 6'6" had to get specially made 24" top tube from S&M bikes.
The 1980's were such a great time to be a teenager unlike today! 2018 and still playing this!!! As a 80's child I will always love this era and it's phenomenal movies & music!!! PURE MAGIC
My older brother rode a redline most of our young life.. we had a sanctioned BMX track & trail system not far from our home..I used to skip school sometimes and ride the trails then ride to the pool hall to hang with the old heads.. Diamondback was a great racing bike too.. I had a Mongoose Blue Max and a Kuwhara back then ..our parents would FLIP at the prices of the bikes we wanted so we mowed grass raked leaves & sold candy at the local army reserve on drill weekends for money and traded for parts like shimano peds and 3 piece cranks etc with friends..I wanted a Hutch cruiser & a GT Performer back then..I have them now :)
Love this movie and the soundtrack. Great movie and a positive message throughout it. I got a Rad racing shirt just like from the movie from someone i love its the best still mint.
George balis I was one of the fearless kids with the skate boards, bikes, and scooters (razor) with real tires, man I put many of miles and breaks on my body and bones. But we weren't snowflake pussies like are born and bred now. I'd like to see these kid's make it in our day's.
That's because commercialism and corporate greed took over forcing everyone to live less and consume more. Fear sells, and these days people live in their locked cars and are afraid of their shadows. Truly sad.
It’s so true. Woodstock 1999 was “when the music died.” I was at that concert & besides the legends... it was a lot of music that incited violence. We had to leave early. It was the beginning of the end.
This movie was my my shiznitle bang pop...There's nothing more Rad then Rad the movie! It seems like just yesterday I was bunny hopping and modn out my free agent bmx bike.
BMX was so popular back in the '80's. Great time to be a kid. This movie inspired me and my friends to go out with shovels and create BMX jumps in a big empty field. Over time more and more people pitched in and we had a pretty awesome little BMX track. The land got sold and some developers tore down our jumps and put a golf driving range. So we built new jumps at a different location and the county came and tore them down, said they were worried someone would get hurt and there'd be a lawsuit. And they wonder why we all just started playing video games and smoking weed. WTF else were we supposed to do when they kept taking away our natural highs?
Yup same here, saw this movie at a buddy's house for a bday party and then we all started riding wheelies and jumping stuff until someone broke some teeth and bones, good times
1980-89 was a great time to be a kid. I was 10 in 1980 and 19 at the end of the run. The whole culture was upbeat about the future, etc. Now all you have is crap that foreshadows some apocalyptic doom.
Robert Bruce I was 12 in 1980 and living under the shadow of cold war nuclear standoff, and all Reagan's saber-rattling had me and other kids perpetually terrified there'd be nuclear armageddon at any moment. Add to that AIDS, drug wars, the Satanic Panic and most adults' seeming certainty that we were a lost generation, sometimes I'm amazed I survived with my sanity. There's always some old people always grumbling about anything new being terrible and kids these days blah blah blah. I prefer to listen to new music, appreciate new culture and befriend younger people, to hanging around a bunch of bitter, nostalgic old farts constantly ruminating about the past and how everything's always supposedly getting worse.
19D10 Cav Scout germany 🇩🇪 83-86 Used to listen to this while riding train to Hannover west 🇩🇪! Thought about my friends and fam alot while listening to this jam!
If there was ever a chance to be condemned to be stock in time I would chose exactly 3650 days from Jan 1st of 1980 to December 31st. Back and forth in a endless loop of joy, feelings of hard but worthy love and the ultimate freedom to mind fly. What a decade the 80s was.
Back in the mid 80's, everytime me and my brothers would go to the video store or the (movie club)😄 we would rent this and the skateboard movie "Thrasher" on VHS. Then after we would watch them, we would go outside and get hurt or break something, trying to do the same stunts... lol Sure miss those days...
@The American I can't disagree. As I said to my neighbour John who lives beneath me, I said only yesterday in fact after getting something to eat, I said John, the ultimate black pill is society is falling apart and there's nothing anybody can do. A society can be judged by by the standards of law and order, the treatment of its vulnerable, elderly, homeless and children etc, and standards in education. Education is falling apart since even standards are thought to be a problem these days. Crime is out of control. Children are being abused in the care system. Even the elderly are being attacked. Add to that millions of illegal aliens crossing the borders over the years plus corrupt politicians. You know what I mean? I had even heard the governor of Oregon, brown has ordered the state police to find the Republicans and bring them back by force. The very definition of political intimidation because Oregon is now like California a supermajority and they want the VANEER of legitimacy when then pass their draconian new laws.
@The American Standards have gone down. Even music was better in the nineties compared to now. Even films. Don't get me wrong there's still got films now like John wick but it seems to be now largely these days reboots and remakes....
Don't forget the freedom. Today kids can't do anything. Gangs, pedophiles, every field is no trust passing. The list just goes. Makes since why they have their faces buried in a phone.
One of my favorite songs, right now December 7 2019 I'm listening this song in the highlands of Bolivia 🇧🇴 above 13000 feet looking the sky in his full magnificent it feels so close the stars thanks for posting greetings from the super ancient megalithic city of TIAHUANAKU BOLIVIA 🇧🇴.
I’m so glad I grew up in this era. Even though 47 in a few months I still long for these times to come back. Watching Rad, Thrashin and BMX bandits(Aussie movie) made my childhood bloody awesome
I had a 1987 Mongoose Decade in gold amber color. I loved that bike for the short time I had it (got stolen). When this came out on VHS we (neighborhood kids) would watch it then go to the dunes and abandon housing land all day long in the summer. Funny how a song can take you back in time to a moment so vividly.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I was 14 when it came out and I was consumed by bmx. Must have watched it on video 1000 times at least. My son bought me a copy for Christmas a few years ago, I still remember every line.
Joseph Mayfield Highly Suspect did a cover about a year or so ago...rarely is a cover better than the original but it is. Damn I wish I still had my GT Pro-performer!
This song isn't underrated- everyone I know is aware of this song. It was in Rad, The Wizard, & Teen Wolf Too- seemed like this song was everywhere when I was little!
When is Your Birthday Dude? 1-28-76 here LOL We were born in an interesting time for sure. 80s kids & 90s Teens. Good times. I grew up right outside of D.C. & My Brothers & I were ALWAYS At what is now Chucky Cheese. 1 Foot in the Past & 1 in the Future. We ARE Truly Blessed Lex ;-) Sweet name.

@@purge2--u--nite342 Times are different,my friend. Hell,if we had a bully problem,we had it out and it was over. Now,the BS continues needlessly. Things were simpler then and I do miss that.
Its a Gods gift, to be a kid in the 80ths. Since the year 2000 is everything going bad. We have to make the future allright for the next generation. God bless all people with a good will!
Sin and as you put it, "everything going bad" has been happening since the beginning of time. God has nothing to do with people being born in the 80's. What if someone has a better life now, or in another decade? Life itself is a gift. Your comment holds no merit.
@@raynekimi2755 By the way, we are now living in the most important time since the birth of Jesus Christ. Thats the greatest of all gifts ! ! So we have to prove ourselves worthy.
Best damn movie ever!!! I know I watched it over 100 times lol As a 80's child I will always love this era and it's phenomenal movies & music!!! PURE MAGIC
80's was the year for me. I also loved dropping in. I probably could've been pro if I didn't tear my Achilles. It took me just over 2 months to mater the back flip with broken bones along the way. I'd a chrome GT performer BMX bike. All I can say is I'd a blast and loved every minute of it.
