***We were Rad*** Official Book submission/chat thread ***
oldschoolace:
A couple of Rads finest arrived at my door this afternoon and with little encouragement the idea of "we were rad" was revisited and the decision was made to press ahead with the project :daumenhoch:
The idea is simple, the book will be about all our childhood years in bmx!
80s bmx told from the hundreds of us who ate, slept and wore it. Stories of first bikes, seeing bmx legends at shows, crashes, mates who has other bikes, saving paper round money, swapping parts, race days, stunt evenings after school, all the day to day untold stories which were the fabric of our bmx childhood complete with all our old pics, paper clippings, posters etc.
What we are looking for is people to submit imagery and stories from bitd.
We really want to convey the everyday stories and recollections, however insignificant you may think they are. Trust me there will be loads of lads out there who will connect with even the most mundane of stories so dont be shy and please dont worry about being a perfect scribe. It all adds to the flavour.
You can submit as much or as little as you want. A combination of words and imagery would be ace but pics alone are fine, especially if you have background info on them like dates, location etc.
We are aiming for a thick hardback coffee table book which will probably be a year or so in the making but its all down to you guys :daumenhoch:
We cant guarantee all submissions will be used and by submitting pics or words you are authorising permission for said pics or words to be used in the book and any accompanying literature/online use :)
Please use this thread as an open forum to chat and reminisce and those who feel they have something to contribute can do by sending images/words to:
wewererad@outlook.com
OR BY THE DEDICATED FACEBOOK GROUP https://www.facebook.com/groups/161890204418162/about/
Thanks for looking guys :4_17_5:
