BMX Bandits

One cool thing about the 80s were the films based on a cool new sport or dance. Films like Breakdance the Movie, Beat Streat, and of course BMX Bandits. I never knew until this morning that BMX Bandits was actually filmed in Manly. In the first scene you can see the cool guys biking from Shelly beach to Manly beach along the road I run almost every morning.



One extra little piece of trivia is that when Nicole Kidman got married to her Country and Western singing husband a few years ago, they got married about 100 meters from this path up in the local castle like building (can't remember what it's called).

This morning while running up to the head land by Shelly beach we saw big whales playing a few hundred meters out in the big surf. Surely beats the one-legged pigeons I used to have to jump over when running in Clapham...
