Classic Ruben Style

Now 36-years-old, Ruben lives full-time in Malaga, Spain and still rides, in between ongoing battles with a recurring back problem. (He recently got his back fixed by an Italian doctor, who told him that it was his jaw that was out of line for years, causing additional problems throughout his body.) Ruben still reps Terrible One, Etnies, Fox and Fly Bikes, and recently saw the release of the 2010 Ruben Alcantara Signature frame from T-1. And although Ruben may not be at the forefront of the BMX media these days, his influence in style, tricks and technology will be felt for years to come. Long live El Pollo Loco!
