First post here on your great forum guys. I was directed to your little bmx oasis by another member here who caught wind of my little project on the bmxmuseum.com and decided to share it here with y'all here. To post the whole thing would be far too tedius, so this will be the abridged version. Enjoy!

Nicole Kidman's 1983 SuperMaX BMX BANDITS replica build!

So I’ve decided for my next bike build I’ll be doing, yep, another SuperMaX. This time around I’m going to be replicating Judy’s (Nicole Kidman) Malvern Star SuperMaX from Brian Trenchard-Smith’s 1983 classic BMX BANDITS. I’ve seen quite a few great replicas of Goose and PJ’s Diamondback and Supergoose on the museum, but I haven’t yet seen an accurate SuperMaX, which I think is un-Australian! So I thought I’d give it a burl and see what I can come up with.

Here’s a short clip from the flick that for the best part shows Judy’s SuperMaX in action!

Here's what I've managed to collect so far for the build.

So. As you can see the build is going spectacularly and is pretty much complete. All that's left to collect is a NOS Tange 24t BB, chrome Nitto post and yellow Tuff pads. Let me know if any of you can help contribute to the build. Thanks!

Started to put the various bits together:

I also recently bought this little gem. An original 1983 movie poster, which I'll frame to display with the bike, once the bike is finished!

Pretty cool. No?

You can veiw the original in its entirety here:

Thanks for veiwing!

Trent.

Thanks guys!

I recieved the NOS Kashimax from WaspMoth in the mail last week, which is awsome, and decided to lay everything out to see what's left on the list. Looks like all that's left is a BB and seat pole. I'm still on the look out for a good anodizer who can do the right shade of gold. So in consideration there's really not much left to do at all. Super excited to finish this thing off!

Where did you get that shit Kashi Aero...?!!!!

Hi Trent, glad you finally joined!

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 23, 2012, 11:25 AM »

Trent, just to go off topic a little, but do you remember a TV show made in Aus in the early 80's called Home?

AusBMX · « **Reply #22 on:** September 23, 2012, 12:32 PM »

It might be a stretch too far for my memory. I grew up in the ninties so I got a lot of 80's re-runs but never came across that one. Unless you mean Home and Away?

I remember that - there was quite a bit of racing in it. The lad racing was advised to keep his bike low to win but he got big air and won anyway
