hes on o1

He was riding for octane, but it seems like they don't really hype up macduff and he isn't on their website

If macduff were riding frames I made I would hype him up! So rad. Some digging makes me think he is on ill bikes like most of the rise

molloser (Jul 16, 2015 at 19:51)

he left o1 and im pretty sure he has no frame sponsors and none of the rise is on ill bike anymore

adrennan FL (Jul 16, 2015 at 21:11)

Wasn't it doberman they were all on at some point?

mtb101010 (Jul 16, 2015 at 21:23)

My bad i was thinking of dj brandt

Whichever bike he's riding, he kills it, and they always look super steezy with the fox fork

he sould be a Deity supported rider

Mattin (Jul 20, 2015 at 5:40)

He used indeed to be sponsored by Dobermann (which is no more), and then Octane One. But he left O1 and has no frame sponsor right now. Last thing I've heard was that he was discussing details / negotiating with some companies. Only time will tell.

holy moly that rail ride

Why was this temporary? Place looked unreal

Lhomel's edits have come a long way. Still have that raw, skate-ish street feeling but the edits are more crisp. Old warehouses have such shitty lighting, he used it really well in this vid.

sick edit, sick music, obviously sick MacDuff riding

molloser (Jul 15, 2015 at 21:05)

molloser (Jul 15, 2015 at 21:06)

xTwoSnakesx FL (Jul 16, 2015 at 19:40)

Wait... where's the screaming falsetto eagle?

Pretty small stuff, obviously built for skaters. Duffy on that rail though, fvckin' annihilated that shit!

Was that a celebratory Bernie dance? youtu.be/TRBLmogRL4c

haitman (Jul 17, 2015 at 10:24)

the music is just the right one

suspended-flesh FL (Jul 17, 2015 at 11:57)

That WAS the Bernie Lean!

I know the bikes are bigger and heavier and i'm not trying to knock their talent but im still not impress by most of the pro mtb guys that ride street. Its the same stuff pro bmx riders were doing 15 years ago in most of the videos. Hardest thing in that video is the rail ride to tailwhip. I could name 5 guys around my nothing small suburb of philly that would throw that down without a problem and never posted a video online or thought about sponsors. Garrett reynolds and scotty cranmer would kill these guys in a game of bike any day at the skate park because of the COMBINATIONS of tricks they do bc thats what street and park have progressed to. Sorry but the 26" guys have 15 years of catching up to do

I don't think you can compare them straight up, nor should you take this as the pinnacle of MM's riding. He's done some way crazier/bigger street edits, plus add in his dirt skills. Both disciplines share some common elements, but in my mind they're pretty different. Look at someone like Cam Zink who rides decent street/dirt jump and then kills it @ Rampage. This was just a fun little edit. Bottom line - all styles are fun to watch, plus I agree - Reynolds and Cranmer are wicked!

thinkbike FL (Jul 16, 2015 at 15:14)

I'd watch 15 minutes of Mcduff sliding into curbs with a big wheel just for the vibe… let's see any bmx rider drop into Pure Darkness 2 and then hear him say it's 15 years behind the times

molloser (Jul 16, 2015 at 15:38)

totally agree @thinkbike

molloser (Jul 16, 2015 at 15:43)

bmxers who only ride park and street have no style and no steeze idk why you started that argument @mayer5oh . plus most of the ramps were quite small so its hard to do combos or big tricks on them.

scott-townes (Jul 16, 2015 at 19:33)

thinkbike- BMXers have been hitting massive jumps like that for a few years now (albeit rare because well we know why), some way more consequential than a step up, haha. That's all I wanted to point out. I agree this edit was boring but only because they didn't have much to work with. Matt sends it so hard. Its awesome.

Theeeeo (Jul 15, 2015 at 15:27)

another wicked video

I really wanna see what happens when you put rigid forks and 4 pegs on MacDuffs wagon tho...

Warre (Jul 16, 2015 at 17:43)

So you want to see Macduff on a BMX?

Theeeeo (Jul 17, 2015 at 3:51)

No idea why I've so many downvotes.. when Macduff rides street, a lot of the stuff he does is very techy with hop nose manuals, or manual combos in tight spots, I think it'd just be great to watch what Matt would do with a peg set up...

Last time I checked Warre, BMXs weren't 26"..
