So my beloved Moocher is the new Freddy
Krueger! You gotta love that
mash up! More mileage out of the Freddy story, and a second career for JEH, who's not loving that? Jackie Earle Haley is the greatest cycling actor of all time! Costner? Not so much. Quaid... not! I'll give Daniel Stern a shout out for even trying, and certainly the runner up must go to Dennis Christopher, but he lacks the bike handling skills that Moocher has, so he must remain seated! The award, for Meritorious Cycling Skills, held by a Screen Actor's Guild Member, goes to... "The little guy! The little guy is riding a lap!" Jackie Earle Haley as Moocher! Go to your DVD, cue it up to Moocher's 40 foot skid/dismount/handoff, and observe. Now that's how you do it son! Later!

Yeap, and I think the mooch was only 17 years old at that time.
I am particularly wowwed by the fact that he has his hands on the drops while performing this move.
