I'm sure this has been covered before and discussed in previous threads, but which person or persons actually started RAD, and are any of them still involved/active on the site? On the way back home from MK, myself, Ant (factory pilot, and Paul (paulb113) were discussing various things about the weekend. During the prize giving/raffle, myself and Ant were stood next to the guys making the announcements. We knew Rob (pickle) and Nick (gashead) who were also stood in the vicinity, but i'm a bit embarrased :-[ to say that we didn't know the guy in the check shirt announcing stuff, and the other guy reading out the raffle ticket numbers. Could mods/admin post up a photo of themselves with their name/username so myself and others can put names to faces? Thanks to everyone involved in running RAD, and making MK15 the best ever in my view :4_17_5:

Bob acid had the checked shirt and bucket hat. Grey tee and glasses was rich Waxintaxin

Careful Andy, there will be a wave of nostalga for the "old blue site" before you know it :2funny:
It is actually a really good question though and it must have been a funny conversation with a few pints involved I'll bet.... "I know, let's start a website for daft middle aged men to ride about on kids bikes" kinda thing....... :shocked: :2funny:

Maybe we should have an update of the 'meet the team' section on Rad...?
In case you didn't know there is one already, but it's almost dusty & old enough for Dannywhack to go poking around in it
-
Oliver Barrett was one of the first he's ORB on here
-
Thanks for the replies - a few more names i can now put to faces. Now that i know who you both are, Bob, Rich & Danny - thanks for being part of the rad team and making it all happen. Ed - you too, but as you said i know you already!

Was it Dave Gillers, Orb and Billy stupple
A few years ago mind so fuocked if I can remember

I was easy to spot, I was working behind the bar most of Saturday night, registering everyone (along with Rob Pickle and Bob Acid) in the show and shine and have STIDDS - ADMIN on the back of my T-Shirts.

I've always wondered this :-[ who was the person that actually got on the computer one day and actually made RAD? :-\ Is there a specific member that owns the site today? :-\

As I said oliver Barrett (orb) look on members it's got admin, subscribers, founding father's are orb, radbmx, Harris, lazychubs, dingobmx

Ollie and keema cap Dave

OK
It goes something like this, BITD a whole lot of us were on vintagebmx and basically took over a thread and threatened to overwhelm the site with our 'British Humour', and then one day 95% of the UK guys were banned for no reason other than Vintagebmx really couldn't cope with us.
So Billy Stupple (Billstup), Dave Giller (RomBloke) and Oliver Barrett (ORB) started a little site called radbmx. On this site with very humble beginnings, you then had moderators appear, like Harris, Dordy, Dingo, Lazychubs etc.
Over the years the site morphed into what you see today and the founding fathers status are for those orginal guys that are still on the site but are not expected to moderate or play a part in the running of the site.
The current layout of the site is this:
Gashead & Waxintaxin - Site Owners, like the sith lords from Star Wars, they are from the dark side and rule with an iron fist :LolLolLolLol:
Stidds, Pickle, Bob Acid - Admin - We are the Dark Jedi and do our lords dark dealings.
Benno, Brummie, Dannywhac, ED209, griff, in2bmx, Jaymz, Poolysherrif - Team Moderators - These are the Storm Troopers and if you piss them off they will kick your ass.... basically these guys do most of the work on site :LolLolLolLol:
Now you know as much (if not more) than we do.
-
Cheers Sean - Dordy explained it to me in a similar yet different way on one of our numerous road trips looking for draughty skateparks in dodgy parts of towns ;D I think at one point you were all the second most wanted men in the USA after Bin Laden? Something about war crimes against the American dream or something ???
I never knew Ed was a stormtrooper (more like Jaja Binks I'd say) but I was suspicious you all had some evil twisted master with a planet - sized space station to do his bidding so at least that's cleared up now.......... :-\
Yep, I think I've got it. So when do we all wish we'd taken the blue pill ??? Oh, wrong film... :2funny:
Cheers :coolsmiley:

Which is a real shame IMHO.

times change, we used to hang out here on weekend nights and have the craic, it's all about bikes now and the craic is on facebook. Doesn't mean anything, it just happened slowly over time. The bikes stay old, but everything else moves on.

Never a truer word. :daumenhoch:
-
first for what?
-
Facebook is the modern pub
All the old blue site spazfords are still about just moved on
It is an ever evolving thing and Rad does its thing , it's a forum , and that is what it will remain something that takes more effort than Facebook
It will be some other technology at some point
-
first for what?
I'm old a and grumpy I guess.

You guess lol
Grumpy twat lol

The good Ole days of 3 owners Dave oli and billy and 2 mods Rhys and Sandro.
And as for graham that man could start an argument in a room by himself.
Proper prick :uglystupid2:
Still speak with kelly Klo.
-
I think I'm right in saying she was one of the founders but stepped aside very very early on?
-
Yes , before it even started

Yes, the man who hated anything repop but strangely rode a KAPPA, the og repop; go figure!
-
What Kappa did he have Marty?
-
I had Sandro's Kappa... Bloody lovely fella.. Haven't spoke to him for a while.. I'll sling him a text..

the P.K 20? didn't this used to be Dan's? (Diesel)

the P.K 20? didn't this used to be Dan's? (Diesel)
But I bought it from San..Dave.. Think it did a few rounds. 👍
-
Diesel ! That's a name from the past
Good guy
-
Diesel (Dan) was at MK - top fella. He, like many of us (myself included) have had kids in the many years Rad has been going. That along with other interests like old cars, boomboxs, video games etc take up a lot of time. 10 years ago this was the only place to talk about old bmx's, now there are loads of places.
The site, like the people have evolved. :)
-
And dans little girls loved the Dog and Duck this year lol
the thought the smoke machine was ace lol
-
it's not like we just shun rad, i have loads of hobbies, music being my main one, growing veg for the last few years another. You think bikes are dear, try vintage analogue synths. I had over 40 completes at one time, loads on here of got great rare bikes and friendly prices off me over the years. I've no real space in my life for loads of old bikes right now, the prices are prohibitive too to just have a dabble and build something decent, there's too much other stuff i want first. I reckon once i've finished the house and got the business a bit more stable, i'll build again. meanwhile i've been shifting job lots of bits. it's daft what you end up with from 15 years of collecting. I still like old school, just maybe a bit less in my 40's than in my mid twenties. :/

Hello you muppets, I'm here :) I remember those days, I used to do the Vintage bmx thing - didn't get banned for some reason but swapped to Rad anyway and was quickly groomed by Dordy, waxin, Bob, orb etc! Does anyone know where Oberonspacefruit went???
-
Hello Carl
Nice to hear from you
Hope your well
-
Al's wife, iirc her sister is just as hot!
-
Seen a few pics of Al's other half pop up in different threads in the couple of years since i've been on here.
Did he just post loads of pics up of her all the time?
She's well fit though :shocked:
-
I'm still around from time to time
(120 days since this topic was last posted in, so that should give you an idea of how frequently I get here to have a read of what's going on).
I've been mostly messing about with my motorcycle project and looking after the family (so although I still have a few rides in the collection, its been slimmed out considerably)
