an awesome classic!!

Rad Maxx here (the guy with the eyebrows): Glad people liked the
video…Shot in the summer of ’88, in Colorado and California by RC Video
Mag, headed up by a guy named Ken Wells. Producer/editor was Joe Megura,
who still lives in Boulder. My on-camera stuff was shot at Bandemere
Speedway west of Denver, and Blake’s Auto salvage, CO. Had a ball writing
it (coming up with 10-15different ways to say model car), The junk yard
remote vs. radio control scene is waaay cool.

Horrified by that. Oh and I’m so glad I missed having to dress like that to

NOTE:KIDDY’S I WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL ANYWAYS WITHOUT THE SMOKES,SO DON’T
SMOKE BECAUSE YOU MAY ALREADY BE COOL.
