Degausser Video is a brand new label created by several of the devious minds behind VS, which will bring to Blu-ray deluxe editions of both canonical and under-seen shot on video (SOV) genre cinema, in addition to work shot on film, but edited on tape, wherein the original film materials are believed to be lost or destroyed. Similar to Vinegar Syndrome's focus on FILM preservation, Degausser will work only from original analogue tape materials with an emphasis on maintaining the aesthetics inherent to each respective video format. Additionally, each title released by Degausser will be made available in an ultra limited "new" VHS edition, fitted in a custom designed hard shell light box.
Cru Jones is the fastest and most talented BMX rider in his small logging town. When Duke Best, owner of Mongoose Bicycles, decides to hold a competition at a nearly impossible-to-complete BMX racing course named Hell Track, Cru decides that it's his destiny to compete in the race, which offers a winning cash prize of $100,000. But unknown to Cru, Duke has concocted the race as a publicity stunt to promote his own top rider, Bart Taylor, and begins to do everything in his power to prevent Cru from being able to enter into the competition. To make matters even more complicated, Cru soon learns that the race is scheduled the same day he's supposed to take the SATs and finds himself with a choice between his future in college and a race where all odds are stacked against him...

Pure Nostalgia with Next-Level Presentation
"Rad has always been a cult favorite, but this Limited Edition Deluxe LED VHS release turns it into a full-blown collector’s dream. The presentation is jaw-dropping — the glowing LED case immediately grabs attention, blending that classic VHS rental-store nostalgia with modern boutique craftsmanship. It’s more than packaging; it’s a statement piece that perfectly fits the film’s 80s energy. The artwork is stunning. Bold colors, dynamic illustrations, and clean design bring the BMX madness of Rad to life before you even hit play. It captures everything that made the movie an underground legend — energy, rebellion, and pure 80s style. There aren’t enough words to describe how fun this release is. It’s the kind of edition that reminds collectors why they fell in love with physical media in the first place. Every detail — from the LED glow to the sharp restoration and high-quality materials — shows the level of care Vinegar Syndrome is known for. For fans of 80s cinema and boutique packaging, Rad is an absolute knockout. A flawless presentation, breathtaking artwork, and the perfect tribute to a cult classic that still lives up to its name."
