The Blu-ray disc of Vinegar Syndrome's 3-disc set contains Rad (1986), from the 4K restoration of the 35mm original camera negative, with the set's audio commentaries. High schooler Cru Jones is the fastest and most talented BMX rider in his small logging town. When Duke Best, owner of the Mongoose bicycle company, announces a competition on a nearly impossible BMX course called Helltrack, Cru decides it is his destiny to enter the race, which offers a $100,000 cash prize. But Duke only concocted the race as a publicity stunt to promote his own top rider, Bart Taylor, and plans to do everything in his power to keep the unsponsored Cru from entering. To complicate matters, Cru learns the race is scheduled for the same day he is supposed to take the SATs, leaving him with a choice between his future in college and a race where all the odds are stacked against him.
