Did you know

• Filming was delayed because the Helltrack starting ramp was so high that none of the riders wanted to go down it. The ramp was cut down to a 25 foot tall version. BMX Plus magazine published an article about it.

• The character of Cru is loosely based on Eddie Fiola, who did most of Bill Allen's stunts in the film.

• The original title of the film was "Balls Out".
