Duty Now For The Future

Simon Evans Shell Centre

It is an exercise in skateboard nostalgia for old school skaters and a glimpse of the roots of British skating for historians and people researching street culture: part of the Long Tail for skateboarding in the U.K. There are also hints of what life was like producing magazines in the days before desktop publishing.

Technical Issues

I don’t normally go in for self-regarding nonsense about this site. After all, the whole thing is self-regarding material about something from the past, and I need to draw a line somewhere. But I’ve recently upgraded to a new version of Wordpress and have taken the opportunity to add this extra space for items which do not fit in with the main flow of the R.a.d archive.

Glitches in posts

Ouch, that last message from the end of August now seems prophetic.

There’s a lot been going on for me during this month which means that I haven’t been able to keep up with this site.

I’m hoping that I can get back to it soon…

Something happened on January 27th which means that I haven’t been able to do any work on this project.
I’ll try to get going again soon.

What about the R.a.D Book or Exhibition?

This is not meant as a substitute for the book or the exhibition which has been discussed on Old Skaters.

That idea is still going ahead, as far as I’m concerned. But that’s a very long term thing.

At the moment I happen to have a bit of time on my hands (!) so I feel this is an opportunity to experiment with getting some of the material published in a way which allows people to see it again, and to add their own recollections or comments if they wish.
