Welcome to a Big Issue for 2010/11
At last! I’m so glad that to finally be able to put one of the late-period issues of R.a.D up on this site. I really liked that period of the magazine. Thank you to Morley College (a wonderful place only a stone’s throw from the South Bank) for the use of the A3 scanner which made this possible. (0)Sorry for the break
That was painful. The site got caught up in one of the latest Wordpress hacks, so I took it down for a while until I had time to try to sort it out. Sorry for the break in service. (3)Great video from Graham Taylor
Just seen a video mashup by Graham Taylor which combines Norman McClaren, Georges Balanchine and skate video from the eighties and ninenties. Part of me feels a bit uncomfortable with the ballet parallel. But I’ve always felt extremely uncomfortable with the ‘skateboarding as stadium sport’ let alone ‘skateboarding in the Olympics’ line.

Hi…Can someone please scan and post up Simon Evans’ R.A.D. interview (I think it was either ’92/’93), I’d really like to see that again – I’ve lost my original copy of the mag. Cheers, Chris….

Actually, yup – here it is fresh from the Nov ’92 issue.

Now, my little scanner isn’t big enough for RAD’s page size, so you get each page twice. Zoom-in to cope with their mental graphic-design sensibilities! Its a big file because of the resolution needed to actually read the thing!
I’ve added the front cover – lovely mustard Evans with wheels smaller than his bearings – and I’ve also included a scan of the Dan Wainwright intro from the same issue. You lucky people.
Enjoy.
