Introducing RAD for the next generation. An ultimate BMX racing movie released in 1986, featuring local kid Cru Jones and Helltrack - Cochrane's new BMX track that is not to be messed with. It is the "ET" movie of BMX.
Filmed in Canada, the popularity for this movie has never waned and to date, countless reviews and comments are still being posted on internet sites worldwide.
Meet Eddie Fiola. Famed for the stunts of Cru Jones and flat land scenes before and after the movie, Eddie has experienced a successful career in BMX, which has opened doors as a stuntsman. He'd originally picked up the skateboarding scene before swapping the board for the bike, mainly because it was easier to get from A to B. Competitions at the time were only for skateboards in swimming pools.
In the beginning, Eddie began his passion in the racing scene (beginner and expert) before focusing on freestyle and flatland. His first sponsor at the age of 16 was Premier Helmets after he met Fred Blood (SE Racing/General) who introduced him to Denise Barter (now Director of Marketing for Premier Helmets - who were founded in California in 1961 and moved their production to Italy in 1987) and Harry Larry (talented BMX racer who later became the Production Manager for the Diamondback Company).
"Riding in general is great in the first place" says Eddie, talking from his Californian home. "You're paid to ride. My first show paid food, $25 and I got to ride all day".
Eddie believes RAD is loosely based on his life, as director Hal Needham had paid him a visit to his home several years earlier. He'd been interested in Eddie's life and had asked him many questions, which put together, paints a similar picture of Cru Jones life, who's dad had also passed away several years earlier.
As a sponsored youth, life was busy as he traveled alone from show to show in the 80's as his mother, a single parent, was looking after his two other siblings. Although Eddie didn't really think much of it at the time, he only thought about riding his bike. Life consisted of traveling to specific areas for tours, riding for the entire show, packing up, sleeping and then driving to the next show. But he doesn't miss it.
"I like to play around now. My favourite tricks are back flips as they're fun but 360º are my favourite'. Moonwalks on a bicycle also come up high on his list and he can be seen on various old-school You Tube videos. Many of the old tricks he does these days awe inspire the kids into thinking they're new.
These days, Eddie Fiola works long hours as a Stunt man and Film Stunt Coordinator, particularly on movie sets. His impressive resume include stunts on Superman 2 & 3 and The Dukes of Hazzard. "Being able to see and do stunts and then watch the movie, is amazing" he says.
One of his most popular television ads to feature in Australia, showed him chasing a cheetah through the Texan (Tahone) Pass - in California desert, after it'd stolen his Mountain Dew. When he catches up with the cat, he tackles it to the ground, retrieves the can from the bottom of its stomach and states "bad cheetah". After the six days of filming this scene, the three boys who drank the can at the end and said "see . . . that's why I'm not a cat person", were lucky enough to go to South Africa just for that scene, leaving Eddie to stay home in California!
These days, life is mainly about stunt work and married life with his young daughter. He's come a long way in the world of bmx and movies. But he still holds the dream of winning the lottery.

Considerations to Make Before Buying Bmx Bicycles Parts
The BMX is an adventure sport and the BMX bikes are made according to the requirements for it. In this sport the bikes have to undergo extreme conditions of stress and strains and therefore the parts of these bikes should have sufficient strength in order to measure upto such extreme conditions. Though, the parts of the BMX bikes are similar to the common bikes there are some differences in their features.
All the parts of the BMX bikes have been designed so as to be light weight and in addition to this they also provide good strength. The parts as the seats or the pads and paddles should not be slippery and they user should feel comfortable while he is making use of them.
However, as these bikes have to bear extreme conditions of stress and strain some of their parts get damaged after using them for sometime. Therefore, various spare parts are available in the market. So that whenever you find the need to replace them you can easily get the parts.
The first thing that needs replacement after its use for sometime is the tire. You can get the BMX tires from the market. However you should remember that these tires should be broad ideally 20 inches, and they should have good grip on the ground. This is very important as in the BMX racing the danger that of the slipping of the racers is very high. In addition to this they tires should have tough rubber so that they will last for sometime. Or else they may burst due to the pressure when the rider jumps and lands on the ground.
Sometimes the need of replacing the complete tire can also occur. They are also available in the market. Before buying them you should take in to consideration that are made from good and rust proof metal. The spokes should have sufficient thickness. You will also find them as spare. The hub and the wheels should be good rotating.
The breaks are also the parts that get damaged after sometime. It is better to use the vertical pulling breaks for the BMX bikes. These breaks should have good pads so that they hold the rim efficiently. And in addition to this they also have to be strong enough. Otherwise there is always a danger that the pads may come out. The liver that pushes the pads on to the rim should have proper shape and therefore it should be efficient in pushing the pads in direct proportion to the applied pressure.
The next part that may need a replacement is the seat. As for the BMX racing the rider's body is not able to remain in a constant position during the race the seats have to bear some pressure as the rider depends on them for remaining in one position. While replacing them you should remember that their shape should provide good support to the rider and they should also have good padding for his comfort.
These are some of the important parts that often need replacement. However, the other parts as the pads paddles, bearings and other parts of these bikes would also need replacement after use for sometime.
