Macneil – John Alden Welcome Edit

September 4, 2014

Macneil have added John Alden to their line up! John has been killin’ it for years so it’s good to see him getting some love! Check out his amazing pegless style that he takes to parks and street spots for this welcome edit!

“John Alden has officially been on the team for a bit now and has been killing it putting in work on this ‘Welcome to the Team’ edit. Big thanks to Fudger and Ride for premiering this one for us. We’re real psyched to have John on the team and for good reason, so many wild moves from this pegless shredder. Press play and enjoy this one. Welcome to the team, John!

Macneil – BC Hydro

July 31, 2014

Talk about an untapped spot! Check out Macneil‘s Amos Franke and Adam Piatek taking advantage of one hell of a setup!

“A few weeks ago we decided to check out a local gem of a spot. We loaded up the truck one evening and headed out to this amazing dam spot. Amos Franke & Adam Piatek went to town on these scenic quarter pipes.

Evolutions: BMX Seats and Posts

July 15, 2014

After we dropped that Evolutions of the Seat Post Clamp post the other week, we heard a lot of really positive feedback from people that were just psyched to see all the changes and be reminded of their past. We also got a pretty good discussion going on BIKEGUIDE that lead to us talking about other parts that would be cool to look back on.
I kept thinking about all the changes we have seen and I think one of the easiest (well, they’re all pretty easy to see) things to see a huge change in are the seats and posts on our bikes. Not only because of the different technology, but also just how trends have affected the way BMX seats have been designed over the years.
Before I get into this, I want to say this is NOT supposed to be an exact history and more or less a nostalgic look at the past and how far we’ve come (or stepped back) over the past 10 years or so. Alright, let’s do this!

July 1, 2014

Well… Here’s a bit of surprising news. Dillon Lloyd has parted ways with Macneil and it sounds like he has another offer in the works that we should be hearing about here soon. It must have been a pretty good offer because Dillon had a signature frame and some other stuff in the works with Macneil already.

“Dillon Lloyd, longtime MacNeil team rider has let us know that starting in July in he will be riding for another bike company. We wish him the best of luck in the future. A great rider and a great guy.” – Macneil

Macneil – Adam Piatek Leftover Park Mix

June 10, 2014

Macneil dropped some of Adam Piatek’s left over “Any Means Necessary” clips for your viewing pleasure! Just because these are leftovers doesn’t mean they aren’t real good! Check it!

“Adam Piatek had a stack of park clips that didn’t end up getting used for his part in our upcoming team video, ‘Any Means Necessary,’ so we put them together in a quick mix edit. Adam rips up some Vancouver area parks last fall with his awesome blend of tech lines and burly moves. Press play and get into it!

John Alden On Macneil

May 26, 2014

John Alden is now doing it for Macneil! Check out the official word along with a look at his fresh new setup below!

“We’re pretty stoked on our team from top to bottom but when you get the chance to add another great rider and person to the roster, it’s hard to say no. That being said, we’re stoked to welcome Calgary’s John Alden to the family. John has been killing it for a long time now and has become a solid fixture in not only the Calgary scene but in Canada as well. Watching him roast a great concrete park is something to see and his street chops are just as dialed. John just built up a fresh Borato V3 with CKS forks, 9″ Tabarnak bars and some Defgrips, check out some pics of his whip below and be sure to peep his team page for some dope photos shot by his girlfriend, Kim Procyk. Expect to see more from John soon!”
