Radical
Riders was impressed upon the hearts of Rob and Michele Krogman on
March 23, 2002. God then began to fill in all the pieces of
this new action sports ministry in a mighty way. In August of
2002 Radical Riders received it's non-profit status from the IRS and
everything was a go.
Before
RR started, Rob and Michele were both working traditional jobs and
began to feel that God wanted to do more with their lives. So they
began to ask God what He wanted to do next. Rob and Michele
thought it would be a good idea to go back to school and get some
more education, so they started to look at schools at the age of 31.
God quickly tossed out the "good idea" and began to give
them a "God Idea" of using action sports to reach people
with the gospel. Rob and Michele have always enjoyed snowboarding,
wakeboarding, wakeskating, surfing, snowmobiling, and motocross, but
never thought of using those avenues to introduce people to the life
changing power of Jesus Christ.
In
the early days RR focused on reaching the people in Colorado, where
Rob & Michele lived. Soon God took His word on the road
and now "The Radical Tour" travels thousands of miles every
year to make sure all get the opportunity to hear the gospel. The
Radical Tour goes to the lake, the dirt track, the skate park, the
ski mountain, and the terrain park with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
From
day one
God has continued to expand the territory of RR to reach countless
people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. RR is a multifaceted
action sports ministry focused on taking the gospel to the extreme.
"We go to where they are" says Rob Krogman, co-founder and
director of RR. He and his wife Michele have a burning desire
to reach the skateboarder, wakeboarder, snowboarder, bmx rider, motocross
rider, and wakeskater with the truth of God's word, and introduce
them to the radical Christian life.
Today Radical Riders is based in Orlando, Florida. We travel over 15,000 miles every year, log over 200 hours in the wakeboard boat, pass out over 500 bibles, give-a-way over 250 goodie bags, speak to thousands of people...in order to reach the lost with God’s Radical Truth.
In 2007 we celebrated our 5 year anniversary...God is amazing and we look forward to experiencing all that He has planned for this ministry in the years to come.
