Superbike Dan, a key figure in the Rom Boys movie has recently announced his retirement. Watch the full unedited interview in his legendary paint shop as he discusses everything from Rom thru his days at the Circus Tavern.
David Slade has gone on quite the journey in this lifetime-BMX videos to Hollywood director. I think the first time I ever saw his name in print was a full colour spread in a 1985 BMX Action Bike Hole Shot report in mid air sky diving next to an ejected pink Dyno bailing something high above a quarter pipe.
I'd seen him before that on the BMX beat tv show…but that seemed to have not gone into my brain as deep as the Action bike pic. Un be knownst to me at that time David was one of the riders to look out for on the Freestyle contest scene in those days.

Over the last decade, BMX has exploded into the mainstream, with more than 4.5 million riders in the U.S. alone today, its become a global sport since hitting the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Now, the 1980s cult classic movie that greatly influenced the BMX culture, “RAD” is returning to theaters for a massive one-night-only event on March 20, 2025, followed by the world premiere of “A RAD DOCUMENTARY”!
While the film wasn’t a box office success upon its original release, the film directed by Hal Needham, the genius behind Smokey and the Bandit, BMX fans have turned RAD into a legendary cult classic. The film has become an iconic touchstone for fans, and now, it’s talking over 700 screens across North America, courtesy of Utopia and Fathom Entertainment. Whether you remember it for the insane tricks, the unforgettable soundtrack, or just the pure 80’s nostalgia, BMX lovers everywhere have made RAD a cult-classic for the BMX community.
RAD is more than just a movie, but rather a celebration of BMX, the culture, and the spirit that keeps this sport alive and thriving.
Watching the movie the day before the book launch in Laguna Beach, California it was quickly realized that the movie is more of a BMX cult classic than a thrilling movie that needs to be seen. Make sure you have a connection with BMX when you head to the cinema. You'll giggle a few times. Things have changed, but it's good to see how it was back in the mid-eighties. Hell track, Bart Taylor, Skyway, Patterson, Hutch, all in action, and on the big screen. Keep an eye out for a showing near you.
