Macneil – Warehouse After Hours

December 22, 2014

It’s pretty cold and snowy up in Canada this time of year, so Macneil took some of their warehouse space and built a few ramps and ledges for the guys to ride! Take a peek at some of the sessions a few of the guys on the team have been getting in!

“Now that winter’s here, we made sure our warehouse was a decent home-away-from-home for the dudes out here in Vancouver. Adam Piatek, Amos Franke and Greg Flag all throw down on the modular set up.

Now and Then: BMX Frames

December 18, 2014

The other day while I was moving some things around in the garage, I got caught up looking at the first aftermarket frame I ever owned. I’m sure a lot of you saw the photo above and knew instantly that the frame is Ruben Alcantara’s signature Macneil Ruben. Looking at it, I really started to focus in on the different features of the frame and just how much has changed over the years to improve frames making them lighter, stronger, simplified and easier to ride. Although this frame is from the early 2000’s and there is A LOT of history that came before it, this was one of the more progressive frames at the time. I thought it would be cool to compare the Ruben frame to some of the frames that are available today and talk about some of the changes and innovations that have come since… Let’s take a closer look!
