RAD Font for All

Do you have a need to use the RAD font in daily communications, or maybe be another person selling t-shirts on ebay. This will make it very easy to recreate the logo. For under twenty bucks you can type away with RADICAL BMX, a font designed by Dave Rowland and available on MyFonts.com. It is actually pretty cool to use. Just click the link below to buy it.

Sgt. Smith stunt double gift

My brother got this as a gift from Sgt. Smith's stunt double. He just recently found it in a box of childhood stuff.

Dan McDonogh (continued)

These are awesome shots that Dan just uncovered after 25 years. These really show just how fall the area was in August when in the movie it looks like summer.

Dan McDonogh (MopHead Boy) personal collection

 
Dan McDonogh played the Mop Head boy wearing the Bart Taylor the Man shirt. He was the punkass kid that Wesley kicked on the playground. Dan contacted me about a year ago and we have stayed in touch. He recently visited his parents in Calgary and wanted to share the memories he has from RAD. Thanks alot Dan for taking the time, I really appreciate it.
