Mike 'Rooftop' Escamilla Bike Check

Спорт

From being a stunt double in feature Hollywood films to riding vacant Hollywood pools, Mike 'Rooftop' Escamilla is living up his best life, and he's doing it all on his Signature United Caveman V2 Frame.
2016 saw the first release of Rooftop's Signature United Caveman Frame, and in 2020 we dropped the V2 in all new graphics and colours. In this video Mike gives us the run down of his personal Caveman V2 setup, from the parts he's running to the history behind designing his frame, the inspiration for the graphics and why he wanted to have a bashguard.
If you would like to see another run of these frames get in touch to let us know, who knows what is in store in the future....

    Had the smoked chrome Haro master bash in the 90's. Was lucky enough to hunt one of the black Caveman frames down, love the nod to the greatest BMX generation, with a point to the future. Great frame, thanks Mike!

    The late 80s and early 90s was when I was obsessed w/ BMX then when I turned 14 I started riding very hard.... It didn't take long before I was breaking parts constantly then I found a bike shop and started building rims for parts then I got a legit BMX bike. Best time of my life.... Oddly enough I still have some of my old parts from then. 😁

Those or Fly Bikes Manual CNC Levers! They're arguably the nicest feeling Levers in BMX! I'm at a point now where nothing else feels "right"

    @@harveybrooks2597 Having issues with reading or your sight mate? Nowhere in my comment do I tell Mike or anyone for that matter what they should be running. There's this thing called a "Suggestion" right? So when someone is always tweaking their bike, looking for the best set up possible, especially when it comes to brakes! You try out all sorts of different parts, mixing & matching seeing what works best for you. Then when other people see that, they make this thing called a Suggestion which is usually a friendly comment passing on information about products they've had good experiences with. I'd suggest for you learning the difference between telling someone to do something vs suggesting they try something. Big difference.
