The R.a.D Encyclopaedia was a project which was never completed. It appeared on and off during the course of several years. Some people on the editorial team disliked it — a lot. Perhaps they confused it with one of those glossaries of skateboard jargon which would sometimes appear in the conventional media?
I’d like to think of the project as a skateboard Wikipedia just waiting for the right technology.
The Encyclopaedia also provided an occasional opportunity to include some interesting material from an earlier era, such as this photograph of Doug Cameron at the original Guildford Skatepark back in 1979 and other oddities such as the long-lens shot of Nicki Guerrero at the Rom.
Items in this edition included:

• Grabke, Claus
• Grapefruit
• Gratton, Steve
• Gray Slide
