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.

Custom RAD Racing Road Bike

This was sent to me by Chris Jones who did all the work himself. I think this is pretty inspirational, and definitely going to be on a future bike of mine.

Original RAD Crew at HellTrack

This shot was taken during the RAD25 event. The location is ground zero for HellTrack, in Bowness Park. Left to right: Chris Phenix, Kevin Hull, Everett Rosecrans, Eddie Fiola, Martin Aparijo, Jamie Clark, Jeremy Moser, Beatle Rosecrans, Kirk Bihun.

Limited Edition Cru Jones Number Plates (replica)

We made these up for the RAD25 Anniversary and have a few left. I thought it would be cool to share these with everyone. Only 25 were made and each is individually numbered with silver numbers to commemorate the 25th Anniversary. Each plate also comes with a certificate of authenticity from the designer, two RAD25 stickers, and four zip ties. You will not find this on Ebay, the only place to get it is right here. $60 plus $5 shipping

Bill Allen in London!

Bill Allen will be makong a special appearance in London at the RAD screening. Get down there and say hi Friday night.

Bicycle Film Festival - London

Hey Londoners! Do you have your tickets for the screening of RAD this Friday night? I hear that there is a really special surprise on hand that should not be missed if you love this movie... Can't tell you yet, but it is worth the ticket price in gold.

The Movie RAD Museum - Now at the BMX Hall of Fame

Anyone traveling to the San Diego area? Stop by the U.S. Olympic Training Facility in Chula Vista where the BMX Hall of Fame has graciously allowed me to display RAD memorabilia for a year. This place is really cool and full of historical BMX items. There are also two tracks on the facility that will blow your mind. For more info and find out when tours are, click here.
