At this point in time, what more can be said about Ruben Alcantara that hasn't already been said . . . With the just the mere mention of Ruben's name, something stirs almost instantly inside you . . . yeah, you know what I'm talking about. I feel very lucky to be able to call Ruben one of my best friends. Whenever we get to talk, he always puts things in a way that leaves me thinking about what he said, long after the conversation is over. His thoughts and views are inspiring and refreshing, to say the very least. So I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you, some of what has been going on in Ruben's life as of lately. If you've ever wanted to have a sit down with Ruben, here is your chance. Grab a hot cup of something, and press play, and enjoy !

    I like your lighting and choice of shots. The painting in the beginning was also a great addition, essentially a great way to make a flat wall have some depth (and it helps that the painting is somewhat blue like the wall).

    This is why I decided to go to school to study physical therapy. The joy that a rider feels when he gets to ride again and the ensuing freedom is priceless. Thanks for making me proud about my profession.

    I've watched this 4 times already today. It's tough describing the feeling this video gives me. The vibe that Ruben and T-1 project is the core of what BMX means to me.

    I had a badly broken leg that was close to being lost a few years ago, and I went through almost two years of surgeries and physical therapy to get back to where I am now. At the time I was just worried about being able to walk again, but now that I've started riding again I remember why I've been riding for the last 14 years.

    Thanks for making this Ruben and Joe.
