MK - What it means to you!?

<< < (4/5) > >>

HUTCHMAN:
For me...it's the one Sunday of the year i can guarantee a day out with my dad..he's been with me every year since 2006!

RATTY:
Once a year we look forward to meeting our friends, those we raced with in the 80s and 90s as well as the friends we have made in the cyber world of Rad.
Since discovering Rad a few years ago my life has changed dramatically. Through friends made on this site I have found a new partner, started a new family as well as a career change. I have raced at the British BMX championships, I have earned a number 1 plate  ::) and I have owned almost every bike I dreamed of owning back in the 80s when I could barely afford an inner tube let alone some of the exotic beauties I have had the privilege of owning in the last couple of year.
Rad is a family, we have a few black sheep, a few reprobates and a few members who hate each other with venom. But despite that we have some really good friends, real friends who have pulled together when other Rad family members have fallen on hard times.
I no longer have the time or the cash to build or collect bikes, but I love seeing the effort that goes into bringing old metal back to life. and then getting to see them in the flesh once a year.
I hope Radbash continues for a long time to come, I would rather spend a weekend at MK than a week at some hotel in Costa-del-saddo. In fact we have had to choose a holiday or radbash on three occasions in the past :crazy2:

Mk is a release valve from adult life and a chance to be that kid from the 80's walking round your favourite bike shop.
Looking at all those bikes you had only seen in magazines and dreamed about becomes a reality all over again.

To see that look in someone's face you had when looking through the bmx action bike as a kid when looking at a bike you built is awesome.

RAD is just a forum where the os bmx trip begins , Mk is where those friendships become cemented. :daumenhoch:

For that weekend MK becomes the centre of the universe. 

MK is a what the whole year is planned around. 

It is all about feeling thirteen years old again and being aloud a few beers :daumenhoch:

The friends the Bikes the Gathering and the Racing. :4_17_5:
