Easter Weekend, the movie "RAD" hits theatres all over the U.S. ... and that's a Redline bike on the movie poster (quickly to become the video cover, if you know what we mean). Still, there's some good Redline spots in the cult classic.

July, 1986

 A Redline mountain bike?! Looking ahead, Redline adds two ATB's to their line-up. It is here that the Conquest name was created.

November, 1986

 Longtime Redline pro Stompin' Stu Thomsen is inducted into the BMX Hall of Fame.

December, 1986

The country's very first "scooter craze" hits the bicycle industry and Redline makes a totally trick, custom scooter with a chromoly frame. Todd Anderson tests it out, but luckily the fad dies before it goes into production.
