Royal Bike Shop – 6 Days in Minneapolis

October 23, 2016

Minneapolis is one of those places that seems to get some what overlooked when it comes to cities to visit for riding since the Twin Cities BMX days faded out. But, with the X Games coming to Minneapolis for 2017 and 2018, it’s bound to get a little more attention. The Royal Bike Shop crew up in Canada decided to get down here before all the spots get tapped out and see what the place had to offer. Here’s a look at what Shawn Franz, Matt Perrin and Colin Thiessen ended up with for clips from 6 productive days exploring the city. Expect to see more from here in the coming year.

We want to hear from you! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Macneil – Shawn Franz in Vancouver

November 23, 2015

Macneil just released this new Shawn Franz BMX video from some time he spent cruising spots in Vancouver with Philippe Bellefeuille recently. This has some great riding from Shawn, Philippe and Amos Franke, the spots are awesome and the film work is dialed. Get on that play button, would ya?

“Shawn and his buddy Phil were out in Van in middle of October. A risky move considering this part of Canada can be super wet at that time of the year. They did have to dodge some puddles and rain clouds but with some luck and determination they fired together this edit of some of Vancouver’s most well know spots. Amos even makes an appearance! Check it out. Filmed and edited by Philippe Bellefeuille.”

The Art of BMX

November 19, 2015

It’s always rad when you can incorporate BMX into a school project. Graham McCallum recently had an assignment that was too easy for a BMX rider… Create a video and have it be a minute long? We’re sure there’s more to it, but this turned out pretty unique and cool. We would give him an A… Maybe a B… For BMX.

“Shawn Franz and I teamed up and filmed a really unique and fun BMX video. We did this in my school and it was for a school project. Part of the criteria is for it to be a minute long give or take a few seconds. Enjoy.” – Graham McCallum
