(1/6) > >>

DINODOG:
When BMX Action bike finished, what did it become??????????If anything? I stopped getting abmx at no 36, wished had kept buying bitd but cars took over.

SaMAlex:
around number 50 it changed to R.A.D. (read and distroy). Skateboarding was well in the mag by then, and soon after, BMX stopped being.

MartyC:
there used to be a bit of history on BMX Action Bike and R.A.D. here.... www.whenwewasrad.com

DR VINOAH:
if i recall correct
around mid 85 nicky phillips (of "anarchic adjustment" fame) got involved and it all went downhill from there :'(
the later issues of bmx action bike/RAD are no more than glossy fanzines
now thats how to kill an arab ;D

Trev:

Action Bike and R.A.D. kinda help kill the competition scene.  It stopped promoting the UKBFA comps and gave the image that it was way cooler to ride street.  Unfortunately rather than showing the best competition riders in the country, it pretty much showed Nick Phillips and his mates dorking around London.  Shame really, as it used to be a great magazine.

But then again Freestyle BMX started going downhill when it became Invert. It stopped becoming a full on BMX magazine and more of a "Mark Noble and things he likes" magazine.  Record and Gig reviews?? WTF!!  I think i remember there once being a 4 or 5 page feature on the music Noble liked....
