OUR WORK
Through our awarded body of work since 1996, we provide positive and helpful solutions to the problems of kids and youth homelessness, neglect, poverty and domestic violence.
Our highly inspired dirt wonderland environments staged in City of Gold Coast park spaces provide local kids and youth every opportunity to access the free to engage support tools, training, events and shows.
About us
OUR BACKGROUND
Our journey has seen over 450 riders having lived the RAD way embracing the responsibility of acting as an asset to the community.
Within the championship title winning campaigns and shows, our background proudly showcases the successes of saving lives from bullying, depression and anxiety, rehabilitating the drug addicted and activating disengaged community spaces.
Additionally the RAD scholarships for youth disadvantaged by isolation, neglect and hardship, have seen a long list of riders rise up to become champions were they have trail blazed epic stories that inspire the next generation of disadvantaged kids and youth.
