Madera – 22mm Bantam Cranks

April 24, 2017

Let’s take a closer look at the new Madera Bantam Cranks….

Madera BMX Bantam Cranks

Are you on the hunt for a new set of BMX Cranks? The crew at Madera have released their new Bantam Cranks that might just be what you’re looking for. These cranks are made right here in the U.S.A in the same place as Profile Racing. The Bantam cranks start out with heat-treated, oversized 4130 chromoly arms that are built to take a some heavy abuse from riding. The arms are connected to a 22mm, 48-spline, Gun Drilled Hollow chromoly axle with 8mm hex aluminum bolts to keep everything tight. Clean and simple design to make things easy.

These cranks have a sprocket boss on the right arm only. That means you can run a bolt-on or spline drive sprocket on the right hand side, but you can only run spline drive on the left side.

You can pick up the Bantam cranks from Madera in matte-black only with a 165mm and 170mm sizes and a weight of 30.04 oz.. These also come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY to the original purchaser, which is always a huge perk. You can pick these up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Madera worldwide now for $167.99 now.

Want to see how these BMX cranks are made? Check out this video showing you how they make the cranks down in Florida below!

April 24, 2017

Whenever we see Kenneth Tencio‘s name pop up, we know we’re about to see something crazy!

Dan Foley – 25 Step Ledge Manual

April 24, 2017

The title for this one is pretty self explanatory, but yeah. Dan Foley was out cruising around for some new spots to ride and came across this gem of a spot. This retaining wall had 25 “steps” that were set up perfect for a long manual down the hill. It’s pretty impressive considering how that setup is all down hill and Dan is brakeless. Plenty of bike control and balance being put to good use for this one! Take a peek.

“Gotta love a good manual challenge. Found this one nearby and couldn’t resist.”

The Trip – Garrett Reynolds “Trip Tape” B-Sides

April 24, 2017

You already know these “B-Sides” are pure fire…

The Trip just dropped the B-Sides of Garrett Reynolds‘ section for the
“Trip Tape” video! This is a mix of random footage, crashes, second angles and “scraps” or clips that had some heavy glitches that didn’t make the cut for his part. These might not have made the cut, but there’s some serious heat that you won’t want to miss in this! Plus, plenty of pissed of security action, haha.

Scotty Cranmer – 900 for the 900K Challenge

April 24, 2017

We can’t imagine you’re too surprised to hear that Scotty Cranmer‘s Youtube channel has rolled over 900,000 subscribers, but today is the day! To celebrate, they brought in some help to pull off the 900K Challenge with a 900… Since Big Boy couldn’t make it happen. Luckily they were able to bring in Jared Heitzman to get the job done! Check out what went down!

“The channel has finally made it to 900,000 SUBSCRIBERS! And just like we do with every milestone we did a challenge video and this time the the big boy has an idea for trick. We all met up at the skate park and big boy was ready to go he wanted to go all out and push the limits on this one he said there is only 1 trick that could be done for 900K and that trick is the 900!! I couldn’t believe that big boy called a 900 out! I thought he was joking and before I can get him to pick another trick he was already on his way to the foam pit! He got on his bike and tried his best but he failed miserably and that’s when I knew we were going to have a long night ahead of us. But when he got out of the foam pit he immediately got on his bike to go try it on the resi ramp I begged him not to try it but in typical big boy fashion he sent himself and crashed pretty hard! At this point I decided the only way to stop him was to put the camera away. Then we started to think of a different trick to do and then big boy ran out of the skate park to rush back in like two minutes later claiming that he made a phone call and that in 30 minutes the 900 was going to be done! We were so confused by what he was saying he wouldn’t give us an answer he just told us to wait 30 minutes and we would find out! He then ran to the front of the skate park and got dodge balls out to have a dodgeball games to pass time! I couldn’t believe that for 900K we were playing dodgeball. But after 30 minutes big boy had a special guest come into the skate park and to our surprise it was our friend Jared and yes he’s fully capable of 900’s and told us that he was going to do the challenge! So crazy! Jared got on his bike got warmed up doing a lot of amazing tricks that only he can do and we were having an awesome time! then Jared decided it was time to attempt the 900 challenge. He tried the trick and crashed but he kept on getting up like a champion and trying again and again and eventually Jared blue everybody’s mind by landing the 900 and completing the 900,000 subscriber challenge! This subscriber milestone was a big one for us we are that much closer to getting to 1 million subscribers and we owe it all to everyone watching our videos every day and motivating and inspiring and myself and the rest of the crew to keep on pushing the limits of BMX! Thank you all for the support and let’s get the countdown to 1 million subscribers going!” – Scotty Cranmer

“Grow Up” Intro

“It’s easy to see Erik Elstran is a free spirit. Take one look at whatever colorful and delightfully eccentric outfit he’s sporting at any given moment (that he probably sewed himself), and it’s pretty clear this guy isn’t trying to run with the herd.

Watching him ride, it’s even easier to appreciate the breadth of Erik’s fertile imagination. Erik can do whatever he wants on his bike, and he chooses not to do what everyone else is doing. Erik could be a tech rail master or flat ledge god if he wished, stacking the usual tricks in new and innovative ways and linearly progressing BMX in standard increments, but he is destined for so much more.

You can always count on Erik to see a spot where no one else has and look at a classic spot in ways others haven’t. Erik’s M.O. is to seek out and locate a unique spot, and then do the unthinkable on it. Never content to simply make do with the obvious, it’s his determination to go above and beyond, to carve his own path and dream up ideas no one else would ever think of, that defines Erik’s riding.

Erik has more fun on his bike than anyone I know. He’ll happily ride the most ridiculous non-spot as hard as he can for hours, or, even more impressively, be 100 tries in filming some impossible trick and still laughing and cracking jokes. Even when riding at the highest possible levels, he’s really just playing around. While cataloging footage for Grow Up, I discovered Erik had – by far – the most B roll of anyone one the team, and nearly all of it was him being stoked and goofing off. Erik possesses a singular positivity and enthusiasm for living that radiates outward and inspires those around him.

It takes something very special to end a two-year full-length team video, and special is about the best word I can think of to describe Erik’s section. What Erik does is more than just bike riding; this borders on performance art. So go ahead and check out his part; I dare you not to smile.” – Walter Pieringer

FOD Trails – Super 8

April 24, 2017

We’re always stoked when Matt Cordova busts out the Super 8 camera for a filming project. Here’s a look at some clips he collected with the camera from a session at FOD Trails! It’s pretty awesome seeing how the camera almost makes it look like it was straight out of the 70’s, but with modern day riding. Love it! Enjoy!

“Took the Super8 out to FOD Trails to capture a session with Joey Cordova, Nathan Sykes, and myself. Here’s what it looked like through the lens of my 1978 Bell and Howell Super8.”
