Breaking Barriers: How RADshare and Bobcat Are Reshaping BMX

At the BMX Scene: a Story of Access and Impact 

In the heart of the vibrant community of Richmond, there’s a passion for BMX that's not just about riding, but about access, inclusion and building opportunities. Meet Nate Hanger and Steve Crandall, co-founders of RADshare, a movement that's reshaping BMX culture through empowerment and community engagement. With their organization, they're providing local youth access to mentors, bikes, cycling equipment and more. Not only that, they’re sparking excitement and opportunity through the sport they love. 

Sparking Thrills and Revolutionizing BMX 

Nate talks about the infectious thrill that comes from bringing Bobcat equipment to RADshare tracks. 

RADshare isn't just about providing bikes and helmets; it's about breaking barriers and introducing something fresh to the community. Steve emphasizes the importance of community interaction, highlighting events where kids ride together with BMX professionals.

This inclusive approach breaks down barriers and fosters meaningful connections between riders of all ages and backgrounds. 

A Transformative Partnership: Enhancing BMX Track Quality 

Maintaining BMX tracks and courses is no easy feat. Nate acknowledges the challenge, "BMX tracks and courses in general require a ton of maintenance, and RADshare is a volunteer organization." With the support of Bobcat equipment, like the L28 small articulated loader, the T770 compact track loader and the RP22.40 reversible plate compactor, they've been able to accomplish more than ever before. Steve agrees. He’s impressed at how the tools from Bobcat Company have enabled RADshare to complete more work, efficiently and safely, ensuring the enjoyment of all participants. 

Dream, Dare, Do: RADshare and Bobcat’s Message of Possibility 

For Nate and Steve, it's about envisioning a better future and taking action to make it a reality. "Just having a vision and putting forth the effort … anything is possible," Steve says. The RADshare message to the community is simple yet profound: Build your own fun. It's about seizing opportunities, embracing challenges and creating a space where everyone can thrive. 

In the world of BMX, RADshare and Bobcat are digging, shaping, and paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive future – one jump, one trick and one community event at a time. With passion, dedication and the right equipment, anything is possible.
