TCU Exclusive: Drew Bezanson Interview.

Gary Young Off Macneil.

by adam on 09/16/09

Gary Young, Macneil, BMX, Odyssey
Gary Young is no longer on the Macneil team. No real details about why or what happened on the Macneil site.

UPDATE: I hit up Miron for a comment on it and (I’m paraphrasing) he basically just said that he didn’t feel like Macneil and Gary ever had a real great relationship… He’s a big fan of Gary as a rider and likes him as a person but it just wasn’t working out, and he made it sound like Gary sorta agreed. So there ya go.

  1. oooooooooooooooooooo dddddddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  2. wat the hell.
    why would he do that.

  3. woowwww never thought thatd happen

  4. i heard because he never really repped macniel as much as odyssey

  5. all of the parts he ran probably broke too fast. macneil makes pure shit products.

    • STFU, almost every biker has had a macneil product, they are the ones who invented the pivotal seat, are you saying pivotal seats are pure shit?

    • Not true. I have been beating the shit out of a whitton 2 frame for a long time now.

      This news is wtf though.

    • pivotal seats bend at the nose easily. blazer forks snap and bend and crack like nothing. cranks are garbage, everything they make is just horrible! and the new “designs” are so ugly on the seats, and that horrible turquiose to be “trendy” worst company in bmx.

    • Bill you’re clearly an idiot. What forks and cranks have you heard of that have never cracked or bent once? Stop polluting BMX with your half assed comments

    • I’m polluting bmx? haha!
      sure other forks and cranks break as well but not near as fast as the macneil forks or cranks. I dont understand how they would compensate so much strength for a bit of weight. I broke a pair of blazers in a month, not running pegs and i dont ride like sean burns. i know three people that broke the cranks all within 3 months and they dont ride hard and one of them was just about 13! i wonder how many parts that team goes through. well they are always stoned and just sit around and barely ride, so i guess not many.

    • why the fuck arnt you running profile cranks???? hahahahaha everybody else should just quit making cranks

  6. macneil wanted him to take his brakes off and when he said he wouldnt, they said atleast lose the gyro cause it was ruining their image than they told him to cut his hair and wear v necks and gary wasnt about it so they kicked him off

  7. i heard vic finally beat jay in an arm wrestling contest for sponsor ship of gary

  8. Gary is a monster, supersize loss for McNeil

  9. Joe Cox off Sunday
    Gary Young on Sunday

  10. Weird. Talked to Gary last night at the vans store about the deuce deuce frames, didn’t expect him to be off of macneil already

  11. New Sunday ride coming up?

  12. I heard it was cause Gary wouldn’t blaze with the rest of the team when he was in Vancouver

  13. Wolfman get out NOW! While you still have the chance.

  14. Weird feeling about Gary and Terrible One????

  15. That’s really too bad. Gary was the only person left at MacNeil. Jay’s really let that whole company slip.

  16. Doesn’t Gary Young have a family to support like a wife and real life outside of bmx. Im sure whoever offers the best deal for a rider of his caliber he’ll go for. Why the fuck not? Ps. Someone still rides my old Macneil Ruben frame. Best bike.

  17. Gary Young + SUNDAY! = this would be deece

  18. Nathan Wessel is on Macneil,you heard it here first.

  19. when he went from dirt bros to macneil ..his image wasnt quite there ..he was totally different in the company’s image in my opinion

    but macneil has awesome designs and products..and Gary rides fuckin super crazy … 4 yrs ago he did a down whip to gap ruben wallride like nothing …havent seen that done since he did it

  20. Options include: Dirt Bros Revival, Subrosa, Sunday… INTERESTING!

  21. wtf? ha id like to see where he ends up

  22. sunday would be nice, ill talk to jc about it.

    • my friend remy snaped his conjoinds in half mid crank arm not even on the weld but really who gives a shit it lasted a year and a half and was a dope crank iam still going to buy those and rep them

  23. Canadians…. Californians. I could see that. Gary on Sunday would be so dialed! Only as long as the “Barcode” style seat stays are not on any signature frame he’d have!

  24. chris silva pro team spot?

  25. i heard hes already riding a frame made of monster energy cans with redbull dropouts and ball park franks bars and jones soda wheels with verison wireless cranks and pedals and sony seat and seat post? anyone else?

  26. garry on t-1 would be soooo sweet
    hopefully not on sunday though, that seems like a bad match, as macniel was

  27. He will be on Sunday.

  28. hes going to be on mirraco… sorry to let you guys down.

  29. called is long time ago. gary youngs all they had left, look at their team, its filled with 3rd tier pros who still work full time and 13 year old kids that go to high school. macneils teams is dead, as it their products.

  30. Didn’t see that coming. Then again, from the beginning I thought it was weird that he was on the team, not anything to do with his skill (which is obviously extremely high), but he didn’t seem right on that team. Just my opinion.

  31. heat bikes?????????????

  32. iv been talking to Capone rider and he is geting put on macneil Flow

  33. gary young will always ride from dbi in his heart but until dbi makes another frame hes gonna just have to settle for sunday.

  34. Gary Young is a douchebag anyway

  35. gary young and sunday would be an amazing match!!!!!!

  36. Imagine the Beast firing you or you telling the Beast you quit. It would be horrifying. Watch his part in Madd Matt for proof of the Beasts powers. Best of luck to Gary with where ever he goes,which will probably be wherever Morgan Wade is off to. Do I really care though,no.

  37. i say he’s going to fly

  38. This is of no relevance to the way any of us ride. Who gives a shit. Gary is an awesome rider and macneil innovated the most widely used seat/seatpost combo in modern BMX. Gary and Macneil with both go on the greener pastures. Stop the drama.

  39. true that man! nd cody…ur an idiot..gary is the nicest dude evr. good luck to him!

  40. I think its because Jay Miron hit on Gary…and Gary ain’t down with that kind of funny business…..Jay does like the dudes you know…..

  41. He’s taking Isaac lessers place on mankind

  42. he’s gonna ride a quadangle from now on! troy mcmurray and gary young are a hell of a team! he’ll probably go ride for wack ass sunday because its pretty much odyssey

  43. JAY MIRON = GAY MORON.

    hes all about the cash now a days no one in van city supports him. his first interview about macneil was all about building his scene and paying his riders. bull shit

  44. i cant see how ANYONE would actually have a great relationship with Jay Miron. Weird, awkward, and putting up with his bullshit type of relationship, sure. But none of that sounds “good” or “healthy”. Too many slams on his head.

  45. wow.
    wait, hang on, who’s on macneil then?!

  46. Wow. I guess Macneil has finally hit rock bottom…just like Jay’s vert career.

  47. jay miron is the most socially awkward, retarded ass, in the canadian bmx scene. he can’t have a decent relationship with any of his team let alone a woman.

    i’d rather ride a man than macneil.
