Blackfox said he was looking from a wet scene from a tv show that was "3) a lot more recent, and all I can tell you about it is, it is about a group of youths working some kind of circus (Very SiFi).

That would be the UK CBBC series made in New Zealand with Australia's Network 9 in 2005...called "Maddigan's Quest". Only 13 episodes were made before it got cancelled. You can get the series on DVD in the UK.

Like many CBBC, Australian and NZ tv series....they only get aired down under and in the UK, and sometimes in Canada...but they never get shown in the USA.

So...I never bothered to save that waterslide scene from BMX bandits...cos it is totally inconsquential and without any visiblle wetlook...cos all you see of Nicole is her wet hair later on (with bad continuity...and no emerging shots).

Besides....the guy said it was a fountain scene....not a waterslide scene....so it is not BMX Bandits. Aside from the NZ tv series I mentioned....there is only oneother  film featuring BMX bikes that it might be....the 1986 film called "Rad"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091817/

I have not seen that film....but I doubt it can be that film, cos the cast are all adults and not teens.....so the only thing left is that NZ tv series....which I have never seen.

FYI I have seen the film Aussie film BMX Bandits with Nicole Kidman (as a teengager....cos it was made in 1983, not 1989)....cos it aired on cable tv 3-4 years ago in my area and I recorded it...and there are definitely NO WET SCENES in that film....so thats definitely NOT the film.

But you are not too far away from what I think this is....cos I think this was a Kiwi production from New Zealand from 1987....and it was NOT a real movie....rather...it was a local NZ tv miniseries made in 1987 called "Steel Riders"....which aired as a 4hr tv series (8 x 30 minute episodes).

http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/steel-riders-bloodstones-episode-one-1987

That series was made by the same producers who also made another cult favorite series "Children of the Dog Star" (that Malvenious mentioned last week). Anyway...."Steel Riders" was only seen in it's original 4 hr 8 episode format in New Zealand and Australia. The producers later re-edited that series from the original 4hrs down to a 90 minute tv movie that was released to TV and on VHS tape in the USA and the UK under a new title "Young Detectives on Wheels"....so if Anonymous watched this on Channel 5 in the UK he would have seen the re-edited tv movie version called "Young Detectives on Wheels".

The bad news is...I do not have this item, so I can't post the clip.....but the good news is....that tvmovie was released on VHS tape in the 1990's and can still be found on Amazon and Ebay....see here...you get get it for $1.19 on VHS.

If anybody orders this and cares to trade this with me, you can choose  a dvd from my collection in exchange.

We had a movie here which was released in 1989 called BMX Bandits.  One of the scenes involved a chase in a waterslide involving BMX bikes.

I can also tell you that it featured a young Nicole Kidman.

Hope this helps.

The keyword "BMX bikes" and "tights in the fountain" does not ring any immediate bells with me. Without the BMX bike...."tights in the fountain" would normally bring to mind the films "Modern Girls" from 1986 and "Morgan Stewarts Coming Home" from  1987...cos those were 2 excellents teen films with tights in the fountain wetlook.....but there were no BMX bikes in those films.

Can you recall any famous actors being in that film. What the woman in question a blonde or brunette. Describe what leads up to that scene.

I am pretty sure I must have it, cos anything that old would never have escaped my collecting habits.
