Wade Lajlar and MacNeil have parted ways. Here's what Jay Miron had to say about this:I’d like to personally thank Wade for his amazing dedication to MacNeil over the last four years. It’s been a pleasure to not only ride with him, but get to know him as a person and call him a good friend. There’s no beef or anything between us. We just both realized it was time for a switch. Wade has already had a few calls from other companies regarding his riding future. So I’m sure he’ll have something new lined up real soon. All the best man, and thanks again.
-Jay
Check out this day in the life video of Wade. It's about a year old, but it's still awesome.
