Steel Riders - Bloodstones (First Episode)

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1987

BMX bikes, motorcycles, and home computers — as the opening titles demonstrate, this children’s adventure series features all the hardware an 80s-era kid could want. In the first episode, Sandra, Mike and their father move into the city, arriving just in time for two jewel thieves to crash into their lives after a daring heist at Auckland Museum, and a chase through the city. Scripted by Kiwi kidult king-turned-novelist Ken Catran (Children of the Dog Star), Steel Riders was later shortened to movie length for American video release, as Young Detectives on Wheels.

Treachery, warfare and murder have stained the history of these emeralds with blood ... stones of blood. They are said to be deeply cursed, and whomsoever holds them, shall not keep them for long.
