Darcy Saccucci gives you all the details about our Tabarnak bars for RideBMX.

MacNeil in Europe

Dillon and Kevin are already over in Tallinn, Estonia for Simple Session now with the entire BMX world. After the contest they are heading out on a European tour to Germany, France and England. Check out the info above, look for them in those cities, and check back for more updates throughout their trip.

New Team Pages

We just updated our team pages for our pro, UK, and international teams. Have a poke around and check them all out for photos and answers from all of our riders.

MacNeil UK Team in ATX

Mike King, Vince Mayne and Billy Cooper from our UK team just came back from a few weeks in Austin, TX. While they were out there they were busy shooting photos and filming. Check out a few leftover photos from the guys after the jump and keep your eye out for the video of their trip soon.

So myself, Billy Cooper and Vince Mayne just got back from two weeks filming in Austin, how original, right? But seriously, we all had an absolute blast out there and although 50% of our time out there was spent battling the craziness of the SXSW festival (when over 250,000 come to Austin) with the remaining time left facing blinding heat, unexpected thunderstorms, campus cops and… well, hangovers, we all came away with a good amount of footage and some lifelong memories having ridden spots we’d all been seeing for years. Hugest thanks to MacNeil Bikes and Seventies Distribution! Video to surface soon.
