popcorn, hype, oldies(2)

I didn't understand why Cru had to make the choice between biking and the SATs. Seriously, was community college not invented yet? Or, alternatively, he could have maybe taken the test some *other* time? At least you get to see Lori Loughlin before she got Stamosed.

Fun 80's movie

A kind of astounding mishmash of cliche and 80's sauciness--a kid is trying to qualify for "Helltrack"... this leads him to do a BMX dance duo thingy set to the Scorpions... kids curse, and adults flip each other off. The obstacles this kid faces, though, you have seen 100 times before, just like his relationships with his mom and girlfriend. I enjoyed watching this because it's clear that parts of it inspired the creators of Hot Rod, but it's not a rad movie at all.

I loved this movie as a kid. if you have a kid that loves bikes then this is the movie for him/her. Not one of those fake cgi bike movies.
