Rad Rides is a well illustrated and in-depth exploration of the world of BMX bikes through the years from the sport's inception, through to the time when these iconic bikes became collectable.

 The introduction explains the birth of BMX culture, while the main content features bikes ranging from those that are race-worn from years of tough competition,  to the collectors bikes which remain in private collections.

The featured bikes are organized decade by decade and are BMXs drawn from the best collections in the world. There are also in-depth details of specifications and interviews with some of the collectors, many of whom have had their bikes exclusively shot for the book. This is the inspiring book for anyone who was there during the early years of BMX, and for the newcomer. 

The photos tell the tale of the development of the sport, from a simplistic approach in the early days, to the highly specialised custom made bikes of the latter years.

Woody Itson's Gold plated "trick Star", and a restoration of an original Pink Hutch Trick Star are shown in detail.

This book may well rekindle your passion, and set you on a journey to find, restore and rebuild a classic BMX bike. The superb photos here will help the restorer get those important little details spot on.
