Rider of the Month - May 2012 - Eddie Fiola

Name: Eddie Fiola
Lives: Los Angeles, California
Credits: Stunt Rider, Stunt Double for Christian, Cru and the twins

Favorite Part of Movie: 360 out of the pool.

Eddie played a pivotal role in RAD with him being visible in nearly every scene. From the log piles to the winning 360, Eddie was there. Eddie is really only visible as himself in the qualifying race and other non riding roles. He doubled for Cru in most scenes with exception of the Bicyle Boogie where he played Christian. He also explains in the RAD 25 recap how the writers and Hal came to his house and actually based the plot on his life in BMX Freestyle.


Sponsor: GT
Eddie has two different bikes used in the intro/extro and on HellTrack. This bike can be scene with rims and white wheel covers in several scenes.

40 Years of BMX - 11.6.10

WOW!!! What an awesome event last night. RAD was playing in a mini theatre and the display was a backdrop to alot of great photos. Here is Martin Aparijo, Eddie Fiola, Me, and my brother Matt Moser.

HellTrack photos just found

My grandma was cleaning out some old stuff and found these photos of us on the set at RAD. This shot is of Everett Rosecrans and it looks like Scott Clark in the back ground.

This shot is Everett in the foreground with Eddie Fiola in the blue shirt. I am in the yellow shirt and my brother is right behind me showing off his muscles. The guy behind us is Hal Needham and it looks like Bill Allen' s nose behind him. Checkout that nice Mongoose at the bottom of the photo.

Celebrity Sighting-Interbike 2010

I spent a few days at Interbike 2010 in Las Vegas last week and had a blast. It was great to see Bill Allen after all these years, I updated him on this site and reunion stuff in the works. He seemed very excited to be involved and really liked my 25RAD shirt. Martin Aparijo and Eddie Fiola are also in the shot.
