This scene of Bart Conner in the movie Rad is unintentionally hysterical and awesome

When I was a kid in the 1980s, I was pretty sure Rad was the greatest movie ever made. Or at least I thought it was. I don't remember ever watching the film, but to an 8-year old kid it had all the necessary ingredients for awesomeness. It was about BMX racing, had a ridiculously awesome poster that shined like gold in the video store, and was even called "Rad," which may just be the most radical slang term ever made.

Anyway, last weekend I was surfing the internet for trivia night questions and topics, and figured I'd ask one about Oklahoma gymnast and Olympian Bart Conner. You know, because the Summer Olympics are on TV and everything, which means we are treated to 14-days of Bart Conner cameos, interviews and highlights on Channel 4.
