I've got 9 bikes in it and haven't even seen it!

Just got new book, and it looks good. 2 of my bikes made it in.
Pg# 104 is DK General Lee, and pg# 105 is Hoffman Evel Knievel.
Would be awesome to use same format to show my collection. hmmm

Got my copy today. I like it but being a goose lover I was very disappointed to see one of the most popular bike companies not in the book but only twice. a motomag and a DMC. I think the 2 authors are goose haters seeing there were a lot of redlines hutches and jmc's. Only one gt as well. Still worth the purchase!!!

Yep, got mine as well today. Left it at work. D'oh! Well, know what I'll read over lunch tomorrow. At first glance, it looks great. Good details behind the bikes as well.

Got mine today. Overall very good. It appears to have virtually every year represented except for 1987?

Overall it is good. But 86 and 87 are missing.. And thats the pinnacle of freestyle!

It's a pretty cool book but the text seems like it was written by a 12 year old. It is what it is and is a cool book for any BMX nut to have on the coffee table.

Ok...
Read this lol

"BMX lingo is idiotic, FBM based lingo included. Regardless these photos shot by Christian Hewett are badass, and show the lo fi day to day of some of the FBM crew, as seen by a guy in a ski mask with a glass eye!
Regardless, things are heating up, and this summer is poised to be full of good times.
Hit up your favorite bike shop and check out some FBM goodness, new cozies out soon!"

I was comparing Rad Rides to this: http://www.disposablethebook.com/

Comparing the two, Rad Rides falls quite short of Disposable, but as I said, it is what it is and it is still cool to have a BMX book kicking around the house to flip through.
