About 16 years ago I rented this movie with my brother and it always intrigued me for some reason, it was like a kids adventure movie and all I can remember about it was there was this kid who made cool inventions like a bike that attached to a railroad and there was this monster in an abandoned quarry.

 

About a year ago I started trying to figure out what I was called and if I could rent it or download it. Well last year I figured out it was called “The Quest” but was later marketed as “Frog Dreaming”. It was never released on DVD so downloading it was hard to do, I found a VHS copy on ebay but missed buying it.

 

Well today I found it on btjunkie. It’s like 16 years later I finally got it, its been bothering me and now I can die a hapy man, ah childhood memories coming full circle.

 

Do you guys remember this flick?

Nope but would like to watch it.

"Rad" was the movie that made my childhood.  I used to race BMX, sponsorships and all.  If you haven't seen it, it's definately worth watching.


Can I burn the movie to a DVD?

I use DVD XCopy, can only burn from DVD to DVD. I'm sure there's a way?

^^^Rad was the shit, I love that movie

Ya Rad was classic.

Well since we're talking old movies, anybody remember that movie where the dirt bike, I guess you would say, comes alive. Well not really, but it drives it self and all. It's a older 80's movie I believe. I can't remember the fucking name of it!

Maximum Overdrive?

No this wasn't a horror movie. This was a movie about a dirt bike that doesn't come alive I guess, but it drives it self I guess, and it's a kids dirt bike and I believe he goes into some competition or something!

was it the Dirt Bike Kid           http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090948/

btw I just bought maximum overdrive on dvd
