Kosman/BrownRuben Alcantara, at home in Malaga, Spain. Launch Gallery »Over a decade ago, Ruben Alcantara left his native Spain to live the BMX dream in America, expanding his horizons, living with fellow pros and competing in U.S. competitions such as the X Games. After several years in the U.S., Ruben decided to return to Malaga, Spain and pursue his lifestyle as a BMX pro on home turf.
