Send Me an Angel by Real Life - or - BMX Boogie Scene from RAD 

Exactly

No Doubt!!!!

it really was! easily the greatest decade of my life, and I was only 6 years old going into it! formative years in the 70's, partytime years in the 80's!

only in the 80's can you have people well into their 30's 40's playing highschoool kids

​​@@jonnym4670Lori was 22. But yes that is a bit old .

FACTS!!!

Hell yes!!! 💜✌️

Yes!!!!!

The best.

i'm mad that i did not know about this movie a kid but we still rode our bmx bikes with the baseball card in the spokes everywhere in the 80's trying to do stunts like this to the arcades. well i could only do the bunny hop.

Yup. Same here. Same song from teen wolf too. Both hit the same.

Yep

I miss our childhood !

The 1980s was so much better

@@RyanKnight-zg4in Definitely certain parts of it, yes.

I time where EVERYTHING (for kids anyway) was MUCH simpler. I cannot fathom being a kid in today's world. You don't see the neighborhood kids doing ANYTHING outside anymore. No bikes at the end of your friend's driveway; no hide-n-seek, no sense of neighborhood community at all. I know people all over the rest of the world's continents.....but I don't know my next-door neighbors on all sides of my house. Front, back, both sides. A sign-of-the-times I guess. I have a 10yr old son, and I can't (rather won't) bring another soul into what this world has become. Yeah, there were many problems in the 80's. (I lived in the USA). We had the Cold War, Cocaine(especially Crack epidemic), Beirut and an at times unstable economy.....but life overall when talking to my parents was life being SO much simpler made those issues palatable. They weren't EVERY WEEK reading about what became "the worst mass-shooting in US history" EVERY WEEKEND; or another 500 people overdosing and dying from opioids and/or both opioids/benzodiazepines...or the next WORST natural disaster in the form of hurricane or Earthquake...

Coffee Town?

My how far off the rails we have come since...thanks Obama.

Ryan Tidwell 😂😂#commentoftheyear

80's was the best

+Ben Ken Obi Burdett I've got to agree with you both this is my favorite movie

No doubt dude. I rented this so many times back in the day. I nearly killed myself on a damn bike and I know it was because of this movie haha!!! I was really hoping there would be a 30th anniversary DVD made for it this year but it dont look like its going to happen. You know, something I just noticed watching this video, neither of those bikes have a rotor, so they should not be able to spin the handle bars like that, but oh well, I still love it!

TheTVChannel yup this and goonies non stop, and miracle

I did the same thing back when kids actually knew how to have safe fun

TheTVChannel My brother as well

californiadreamin7 omg yes

Great comment lol so true 🤣🤣

cheErSss To That All Us Great Bmx'er's Where Inspired BY This Soo Much I Made My Own helltrack no big wall tho lol

This was like every 80’s kids movie

I always saw myself skating. And I’ve done it for over 30 years. But I’ve seen this. And it meant a lot to me at age 11

A felon of what? She paid for kids education until the end. Penn State (or wherever) should be convicted.

Boosters pay for their children /relatives/friends to attend certain schools everywhere!! Why she got arrested is beyond me. Shes still hot!

Felon my ass!! She paid for it. Justice department has way bigger fish to fry besides parents paying for education. Put the REAL criminals away for good. Sick of this crap.

@@je6630 Easy there, Tiger. Don't let me ruffle your feathers, it was an innocent remark which was mostly complementary to her... No need to get your panties in a bunch.

@@palabrajot505 haha, I hear ya, take care.

Eric Escobar best teacher ever!

haha

That's some funny shit dude lol

Dude, better of dead is in my top 5s for sure

Last american virgin....

+Robert K Champion cant agree more!!...this movie changed my life...I remember coming home after seeing this movie and being SO stoked...my parents were telling me it was too late to be biking around out front....they couldnt stop me, I was stoked for years after it....oh to be 8 years old again!

My chin still bears the scar to prove just how much this movie meant to 12-year-old me 😅

I've seen the movie and I have no idea what you're talking about.

So true

It really is the greatest movie of all time. It’s a masterpiece

You forgot the movie The Goonies. That was the greatest movie 🎥

I saw it in 1987 when I was 7 or 8. I just watched again for the first time since. It was pretty trippy.

Great observation and beautifully poetic description, I really enjoyed your comment, thank you

Great story to a story! To answer your question, if there was any girls like her then I never seen them but back then everybody thought she was an angel, I know I did.

This entire scene or scenes is epic and so underrated. The placement, timing, substance, plot, angles, lighting and the cherry on top the song? It is very much unique and in a class of its own

The high hell matching the seat shape and slow motion landing on it and the last bit during that last little drum roll and her bike spinning to that exact beat. This is like optical and audio xtc haha

She has small sprocket on her bike

Totally agree , was even more impactful cause I was a kid.

Top 3 easily!

Michael Demainto yes to all of those!!!

Someone else saw the Wraith?

What about Gleaming the Cube or American Ninja

Heavenly kid is the best !! Man Lori is so hot sucks she gonna be broke now

You had me at Wraith and Heavenly Kid!

That's how Nicky and Alex were made

And also again this past weekend!

Feral teens "stunting" in the parking lot of my local grocery store on frickin' fat tire beach cruisers; nearly getting killed & sometimes crashing into parked cars. 😅

+Justus Allison can't believe I know all the great cult movies of the 80's (Ferris Bueller, Dirty Dancing and The Lost Boys are just as loved by our kids - 2 up to 16 and they all have The Lost Boys album and Real Life's stuff...we taught them well lol) and I have never seen this! We have thousands yet only heard about "Rad" due to seeing people reference it on the '83 & '89 versions of this song, so sound likes we are missing a cult classic? Fwiw I'd highly recommend those who appreciate Real Life and David's incredible voice (David Sterry, lead guitar, vocalist and writer of this) search up his name along with Countdown Spectacular - he didn't do guitar *sob*, but damn, he's one a rare few who still has it in spades. He performs regularly, still just as great live and lucky for me, a fellow Aussie ;) They weren't as synth/new wave as people thought - worth looking at their old stuff, they had a unique mix of those two things but with a bit of 80's pun/rock thrown in. Even had a song banned from airplay - you know you've hit the mark when that happens lol.

Same

Some theaters were showing the movie tonight.

I miss the 80s. Like you said. So much simpler.

Yes!!!!!

I remember seeing this and thinking the same thing. Then I did.

Bart was the poor man's Johnny Lawrence

Except Crew Skywalker would have cut through the lumber yard early in the movie and Mr. Miyagi never would have had to fixed his bike up for him.

also Daniel san in his shower curtain costume.

1:52 cobra Kai never die

Doesn't matter cru jones would whip all of their asses

general maintenance. cutting stuff

Hugo Sabato now that's funny

Hugo Sabato what? I can't understand what you said, it's tough when people don't use proper grammar 😂

+keith kennedy i was born in 1988 and absolutely love this movie.

I'm 12 btw

child of 85 , and yes this is thee best movie of my childhood , and im still hooked and racing bmx

keith kennedy - They tried to get it released on Blu-ray but whomever owns the rights to that movie won't sell the rights. There's a Facebook page that talks about it. They have a petition going trying to get that movie reissued.

keith kennedy this film lasted a good deal through the 90s. If you had a bmx bike you knew this movie front to back lol.

I love seeing comments like yours! David (singer/songwriter of Real Life) and George (keyboardist) are friends of mine. Have you seen any of the more recent footage of David performing this pre-COVID?

+Eric Harlan I didn't know it was used for this! Great tune!

+Dallas Bagley Yeah, but it's creative enough too. They worked in the riding from another angle.

to film this scene must have had the actors and nearly everyone involved feeling how the star wars people felt "this is ridiculous", but the director had a vision...and it works somehow

Did they have two sets of bikes? Obviously the back brake is connected, but they spin the bars, a lot.

Legendary

Plain and simple badass

Keith Kisilewicz 😣😟😦😧
