Author Topic: MK16 'zine ... GET INVOLVED PEOPLE! (Read 24062 times)

.... I'm going to ask again if anyone is interested in contributing to an MK zine.
This never got off the ground last year but I still think it would be fun and cool to have an old school style zine with news, interviews, MK stories, event timetables, pics etc

Would also make a nice momento of the weekend

it should be dead simple in theory, just send me anything interesting and I will compile and print them.
could possibly ask a small fee for them to go into the Rad pot?

thoughts lads?

---------- MOD note ----------------

I've just changed the title as I thought it might get some more people involved.

We have the time ... no we just need the love

GET ON IT!

I think it's a great idea Clint, we had been mulling this over again

Depending on timing / how much uptake you get, might be worth considering doing it just after MK16?
That way we could fill it with stories that will inevitably pop up

benno · « **Reply #2 on:** February 22, 2016, 09:09 PM »

Yep just after would be cool with pics and story's from the event 👍🏼

torkerdude180 · « **Reply #3 on:** February 22, 2016, 09:44 PM »

It was a belting idea then, and is now. Defo😎 could have an agony aunt sextion, with dan, "dear Dan"........😜😉

A post MK zine would certainly have more potential material but distribution would be an arse. I was thinking the zine could be picked up off JT's stall or from the d&d?

there should be more than enough material and anecdotes of previous MKs to get the ball rolling if people can make the small effort of submitting stuff.

As i said last year, this is a real community thing and cannot happen without radsters contributions.
Hopefully the recent interest in the site and community wellbeing will push this forward

I think it's a great idea...what about starting off with the beginnings of this place and how MK came about.

Maybe an A to Z of members that specialise on certain areas at the back that will be attending.

You could make it available electronically via a donation and have printed copies to purchase @ MK too

oldschoolace · « **Reply #12 on:** February 23, 2016, 09:15 PM »

I'll help where i can

same here

oldschoolace · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2016, 09:26 AM »

Cheers lads

looking like it might stand a chance of happening this year .

I'm thinking of keeping the look pretty simple, just b&w and easily photocopied with maybe a coloured card front cover. The whole cut up and paste look that we all remember about these zines should make compiling stuff easier

oldschoolace · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2016, 12:36 PM »

Going to be sending a few pm's out in the next few days so brace yourselves for possibly getting one

raddad · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2016, 12:12 PM »

Hi all. I used to do the Rad Dad cartoon in the now defunct Classic BMX magazine. I'd be happy to resurect him for a 'zine.

Can we have him laying waste to scooter fleas with twin Uzis having been pushed over the top by their lack of skatpark ettiquette

just an idea

This is sounding epic! Hope it really gets off the ground this year!!

mrs_stidds · « **Reply #22 on:** February 25, 2016, 06:41 PM »

I have pictures from almost every MK, starting with the first one in 06 - gives a good comparison from how it all started to the current 'mammoth event' that it is now. I don't use photobucket, but they are all on my FB page - if you want to have access to them, add me on FB and they are all in separate albums (moved altogether on the latest page). Think at MK14 I managed to get a pic of every person as they were leaving for the LakeRide, so a fair few to look through. Jo

oldschoolace · « **Reply #23 on:** February 25, 2016, 07:02 PM »

Sounds great that Jim. Could you have a think about a few possible storylines and drop me a pm

I'm not on Facebook jo but I'm sure my missus wouldn't mind showing me round her account to scope out the pics

keep it coming guys, starting to take shape
