You're looking for American Flyers starring Kevin Costner, Ray Dawn Chong, et al. One of my favorites.

"Breaking Away" is a wonderful movie too..

Go IU....er cutters... (hmmm..little thing though I lived in Bloomington/Indiana University (where the movie was filmed) from 87-93 and never once did I ever hear that term Cutter used. Great movie though.
