Capt Rad

I saw this comment under the “shitty stash” post and became eXtremely stoked. I think a lot of people share this sentiment that in growing up there’s a couple people, besides your family, that come into your life that have an enormous influence on what you turn out to be. Well Captain Rad is one of them. He gave me my first job at Yesteryear Cyclery when I was 14, was my first bike shop sponsor and was the dude responsible for bringing BMX to our town. My love for specialty mom and pop shops comes from this guy and how he handled all us shit bag kids that lurked, worked and hung around the shop on a regular basis asking stupid ass questions that we were scared to ask our parents. Kim always gave us respect, an open ear, encouragement, real answers to tricky questions and more. EXACTLY what specialty snowboard, skateboard and BMX shops bring to a town in addition to rad product, a place for the kids to gather and grow. Cheers Mr. Kim Camara, this stash is for you!
