Over the past few months Snakebite have been uploading the sections from the “Macneil Video” that was originally released back in 2004. This video is from when the Macneil team was absolutely STACKED. This video runs 33 minutes and features full sections from Jay Miron, Ruben Alcantara, Dom Mach, Dave Friemuth, Nick Halsey, John Heaton and Alistair Whitton. The video also features Andy Kent, Lee Mellor, NG Chee Kong, Benny Korthous, Robin Fenlon, Bibi, Shoe-G and Axel Jurgen in the worldwide mix. Needless to say, this video might be 16 years old but it is still amazing. Hit play and enjoy!
Dave Friemuth “Macneil Video” Section (2004)
Oh hell yeah! Snakebite finally got around to uploading Dave Friemuth‘s section from the “Macneil Video” that originally came out back in 2004! This section is LOADED with so much fire from parks to street spots. No shortage of heavy front brake magic and lip tricks that you won’t want to miss. Absolute MUST SEE! Get on that play button and take in the history lesson.
Insight: The BACO Box Set
Over the years, there have been a lot of videos that have come out that got us excited, but only a few that you know are going to be legendary before it’s even done. When word that there was a documentary and a box set in the works for the legendary Baco series, we knew that it was going to be one of those videos that everyone needed to see and it was going to be on that legendary level.
Over the past year or so, Chris Rye, along with the help of a handful of others, took on the job of compiling over 25 years of footage that literally spans a group of peoples lives for a quarter of a century and jamming it all into one Blu-Ray Disc. Now, in short, that sounds a lot easier than it really was, but in actuality it required what I’d imagine to be a few thousand hours, a lot of patience and probably a few stiff drinks to dig through hundreds of hours of VHS footage, DV tapes and digital footage that was all converted and pieced together into this video. Some how, things all came together, much like most of the Baco videos, and today we have a box set that contains all 10 Baco videos, a full documentary and hours of bonus features…
Flash Back Friday – Front Brake Magic
Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve seen a couple really mind blowing videos from a few of the guys who are absolute animals when it comes to the front brake game these days. Obviously, in the past years brakes have really become obsolete for a good number of riders, which I mean is fine, but I almost feel like it’s almost becoming some sort of a lost art. There are so many tricks that just aren’t possible without brakes or even front brakes for that matter that kick so much ass. It’s always refreshing to see people doing things different and killing it like it was done back in the day.
Watching all of these new videos with all of this front brake magic got me thinking about not only how bad I want to get some on my bike, but a few of the guys I grew up watching who all ran front brakes. I decided since it’s a “Flashback Friday” that it would be a good time to pull out a few of these new videos and then dig in a little bit for some videos spanning the past decade or so front some of the legends of the front brake game so to speak. Let’s take a peek…
