RAD Movie Manuscript – Signed by Bill Allen

This original production manuscript from the 1986 BMX film RAD provides a rare behind-the-scenes artifact connected to one of the most influential movies in BMX culture.

The manuscript was acquired directly from the personal archives of Bill Allen, the actor who portrayed the film’s protagonist, Cru Jones. The document has been personally signed by Allen, adding direct provenance from one of the film’s central figures.

RAD became a defining cultural moment for BMX during the 1980s, introducing the fictional race Helltrack and the underdog story of a small-town rider challenging professional competition. Although initially released as a niche sports film, the movie developed a lasting following within the BMX community and remains widely regarded as one of the most recognizable BMX films ever produced.

As an original manuscript from the film’s production process, the document represents a rare artifact linking the scriptwriting stage of the movie to its enduring legacy within BMX culture.
