About

You can watch Rad (1986) for free on Kanopy.

A BMX racer, who lives in a small town with his mother and sister, is faced with a tough decision, qualify for Helltrack or take his SATs in order to attend college.

Choosing between a shot at BMX glory and a stable future requires more than just balance on two wheels. This eighties gem captures the frantic tension of a teenager caught between the adrenaline of the dirt track and the looming reality of adulthood.
