For British skateboarders in the mid-'80s, RAD (aka Read and Destroy) was more than just a magazine. Before the X Games, before the internet, a whole generation of this once underground subculture relied on RAD to provide a beacon, bringing them together in spirit and in person.

Under the guidance of editor and chief photographer, Tim Leighton-Boyce, RAD took on an experimental, irreverent approach with a vibrant, chaotic energy. The legacy of the magazine is an action-packed photo archive documenting a unique time, place and attitude, capturing the death and rebirth of skateboarding as it evolved into a mainstay of extreme sports and street culture the world over.

This book reveals that archive in all its glory, offering an inside view of skateboarding and youth culture from the 1970s, '80s and '90s, told primarily through the experiences of the British skate photographers at the core of the magazine's original editorial team.

Very cheaply made
Size: X-Large, Color: 02khaki
Not happy at all … this shirt did not arrive as displayed. It’s pictured as two tone giving the impression that it’s a dark brown fabric on top and a different light brown fabric at the bottom… it’s a thin one piece shirt with what appears to be a spray paint top. Very cheap looking

Good quality shirt!
Color: Black(pattern1), Size: X-Large
My husband got this shirt to go along with his new belt buckle he got and I have to admit, I was skeptical on how it would look on him (he’s normally just a t shirt and basketball shorts kind of guy) but I love the look! I’m trying to convince him to wear it more often! The color and fabric quality are great! It’s soft and he says comfortable! The size was true to him! He wore it at work and said it lights weight and breathable! He wouldn’t let me take a picture though…
