Just going through some of the old posts and found this one.
The bike Nicole Kidman rode with the yellow Tuffs is an Australian made bike called a Malvern Star "Supermax".
I owned a few of these years ago. They also made a Redline copy frame that was all cromo and had Tange forks and araya rims laced into Shimano DX hubs.

Post by: AJWD on January 17, 2006, 07:45 PM: I actually rode that track in 1985 when I went to see relatives in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.

BMXing had totally gone out of fashion there so I borrowed my cousin's mates Redline, and rode it totally on my own.

Had an absolute ball, although I would have liked Nicole Kidman to greet/bone me at the finish line. She's certainly sorted out her frizzy barnet since her BMX Bandits days.

The scene when they take the bikes down the water slides was a really cool water park in Mount Druitt.

Over and out.

There used to be a fibreglass skatepark there before the slides. I raced with the guys that did the stunt scenes. Penrith track (Hickeys lane) was a cool track I beat a factory JMC rider, Bart Mcdaniels at that track.
How do I know all this info on BMX Bandits? I was in it!
