Radical Rick New Year’s 2025 Original Drawing
This one-of-one original drawing was created by BMX artist Damian Fulton as part of his annual New Year’s illustration tradition. Each year Fulton produces a special Radical Rick artwork celebrating the arrival of the new year, often depicting the iconic character launching forward with optimism, humor, and the unmistakable attitude that made Radical Rick a BMX legend.
First appearing in BMX magazines during the early 1980s, Radical Rick quickly became one of the most recognizable characters in BMX culture. Fulton’s comic strip captured the personalities, rivalries, and everyday adventures of BMX riders with a style that blended satire, storytelling, and authentic rider experience. For many fans of the sport, Radical Rick represented the spirit of BMX itself—creative, rebellious, and always pushing forward.
This 2025 New Year’s drawing continues that tradition. Hand-drawn and signed by Fulton, the piece reflects the artist’s classic style while symbolizing the enduring influence of BMX culture across multiple generations of riders. Even decades after the original comic series first appeared, Radical Rick remains a beloved figure within the BMX community.
As a one-of-one original artwork, this piece represents more than a collectible—it is a continuation of the artistic tradition that helped define BMX’s visual language. Preserved within the Lititz BMX Archive, the drawing illustrates how BMX culture continues to evolve while honoring the characters and creators who helped shape the sport’s identity.
