SO DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS SHOW FROM THE 90'S, I THINK IT CAME ON NICKELODEON (BUT I'M NOT SURE) THAT INVOLVED KIDS RACING ON A DIRT TRACK?

THEY WOULD RACE HONDA XR-80 DIRT BIKES, ANOTHER HONDA DIRT BIKE CALLED A HONDA CUB AND SIX WHEELED VEHICLES (THERE WAS THIS MUDDY PIT THAT WAS CALLED A "BOG" I BELIEVE) ON THE DIRT TRACK. I ALWAYS WISHED I COULD BE ON THAT SHOW OR AT LEAST OWN A DIRT BIKE, BUT I NEVER WAS ABLE TO GET ONE OR GET ON THE SHOW SON.

IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ON NICKELODEON, BUT WHAT ELSE COULD IT HAVE BEEN ON? WOULD IT HAVE BEEN ON TLC OR DISCOVERY?

THOSE ARE THE DIRT BIKES IF ANYONE REMEMBERS THEM SON!

^^^ I KNOW IT SON, BUT IT IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THEY PURPOSELY DECIDED TO ERASE ALL TRACES OF THE SHOW SON! DO YOU RECALL THE SHOW BEING ON NICKELODEON OR WAS IT ON A DIFFERENT CHANNEL?

WHAT THE FUCK SON?! I THINK IT'S THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THEY SUPPORTED SUCH ACTIVITIES AT ONE TIME. TODAY, EVEN JUST 10 OR 12 YEARS LATER, PEOPLE ARE SO INTO SAFETY THAT SUCH A SHOW WOULD BE SHUNNED SON. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS SON, THINK OF THE CHILDREN SON!!!

was it actually a 30 minute show, or just short little snippets between shows?

10/22/2008 10:00:52 AM

even you aren't stupid enough to use shift the entire time - well maybe

10/22/2008 10:02:40 AM

^^ IT WAS A 30 MINUTE SHOW, THEY DID RACES ON AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES.

THEY RACED ON THE HONDA XR80, THE HONDA CUB (THE DIRTBIKE, PROBABLY 1996 MODEL YEAR, NOT THE OLD SCHOOL ONE) AND A 6 WHEELED VEHICLE THAT RAN ON A COURSE THAT HAD A "BOG" (MUD PIT). THEY WOULD GET ALL MUDDY AND THEY WORE THE COOL MOTOCROSS GEAR AND SHIT. I THOUGHT THOSE KIDS WERE THE COOLEST SON. I REALLY DID SON. I'M PISSED I COULDN'T HAVE A DIRT BIKE BACK THEN SON.

^ THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE SON.

NOPE, I FIGURED IT WASN'T REALLY APPROPRIATE SON.

I MAY ASK IN A THREAD THAT'S ALREADY OPEN THOUGH SON.

10/22/2008 10:05:17 AM

ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T MAMA'S FAMILY SON? IT SOUNDS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ON MAMA'S FAMILY (SON).

10/22/2008 10:05:39 AM

NAW NATE.

10/22/2008 10:07:51 AM

ON A SIDE NOTE, HIDDEN TEMPLE WAS THE BOMB SON

10/22/2008 10:08:20 AM

YEP, I WATCHED THAT SHIT YO, BUT IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS THIS SHOW SON.

10/22/2008 10:09:27 AM

?

10/22/2008 10:09:39 AM

NOT THAT I KNOW OF SON, I LOOKED INTO THAT SHOW. THIS WASN'T JUST LIKE ONE PART OF A SHOW OR ONE EPISODE OF A SHOW, THIS WAS ALL THE SHOW WAS ABOUT SON.


OH, HAHA I DO REMEMBER THIS PART OF WILD AND CRAZY KIDS THOUGH!

Quote :

"A game was played where kids would drive remote controlled cars around in an arena where a construction worker was driving a steamroller. The object, of course, was to not get one's car run over by the steamroller (aka adam's piece). The team with the last remaining car won. Variations on this game included a blindfolded player attempting to steer a remote controlled car through a gauntlet consisting of opposing team members (also blindfolded) armed with mallets, and a player attempting to steer a car through a beach obstacle course lined with small explosives buried in the sand. The further the contestant progressed in the gauntlet, the higher his score; the team with the highest collective score won the event."

HAHA, THAT SHOW CALLED NICK ARCADE SUCKED SON. CHECK OUT LEVEL ONE SONS:

Quote :

"Level 1 * Jungle Fever: A jungle setting where the player climbed palm trees to obtain three bunches of bananas at the top while avoiding coconut-throwing monkeys, as well as toucans, piranhas (seen once the player was above the waterfall) and snakes. The player could go behind the waterfall, or touch a golden idol to cause a rope to appear to help cross the waterfall safely."

Weren't there like three or four teams in this show?? They would have something like 4 different races (the dirt bikes, the honda cubs, some small 4-wheelers, and the 6-wheel tanks) with the points added up from all the races to see which team won???

Now I'm bothered that they've decided to erase this show from everyone's collective memory.

10/22/2008 10:27:27 AM

^ YES, IIRC THERE WERE 3 OR 4 TEAMS AND YES IT IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS THAT THE SHOW IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SON.

WHO COULD WE EMAIL TO FIND OUT SON?

10/22/2008 10:28:58 AM

I remember what you're talking about, but have no idea what it's called. Looked through the wikipedia list and didn't see it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Nickelodeon

10/22/2008 10:37:23 AM

^ YEP, I LOOKED THROUGH A NUMBER OF LISTS OF NICKELODEON PROGRAMMING AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT I RECOGNIZE. IT'S BEEN FUCKING REMOVED FROM EXISTENCE!!!

DO YOU ALSO RECALL THE SHOW BEING ON NICKELODEON?

10/22/2008 10:38:56 AM

I'm about 95% sure it was on nickelodeon... I might even wager a 98% certainty.

[Edited on October 22, 2008 at 10:42 AM. Reason : I gotta go to class... I'll ask around and check back later. my roommate remembers it too]

10/22/2008 10:40:28 AM

It was on Nick.

I remember it. They called the 6-wheelers "Argos"

They had a race event where one person on each team did a motocross.
They had an even where the three teammates were connected with tape and hide to ride the "cubs" around the track against the clock but couldnt break the tape.
They ran the Argos around the course and had to hit the bog.

There may have been another event but I can't recall.

"Maximum Drive was a children's competition show hosted by Joe Fowler and co-hosts Brian Vermeire and Mercedes Colon that premiered alongside Masters of the Maze on The Family Channel August 29, 1994.[1] The show, a Vin Di Bona Production, lasted one season. On each show, three teams of kids competed in various motorsports to earn points, with the highest scoring team after five races winning the championship.[2]"
