The latest Madera Memo has arrived. This time around we get a short but sweet edit from a session that Jeff Dowhen and Mike Hinkens got in on a backyard patio bank to sub setup. This is a pretty tight space and the ramp isn’t exactly Nate Wessel quality, but it was enough for Jeff and Mike to have a productive session. Check out what went down!

“When you have some scrap wood, why not build a ramp. And when your from the Midwest, why not build a sub box… even if it’s on your patio in South America. Mike and Jeff put a technical hurting on this rickety bank to ledge as the sun beat down on them near the equator. Enjoy. Then go build something and shred it.

Brant Moore – BMX Safety Check

May 23, 2018

Brant Moore talks a little bit about the safety gear he rides and recommends…

Anyone that has rode BMX for, oh, probably 5 seconds, knows that pads are amazing and save a lot of pain and suffering. Brant Moore put together talking a little bit about what he runs for pads and what he recommends to riders that are looking for some extra protection. This video covers the helmet, knee pads, shin pads and ankle brace that Brant runs, and why he likes to ride with these than dealing with the pain and suffering that can come from riding BMX.

Also, since Brant doesn’t cover it, we personally run the Invisa-Lite Pads from The Shadow Conspiracy that are a little thinner and light weight, but just as effective as what Brant is using. Definitely worth checking out right here!

“It’s no secret that pads, braces, and a helmet will save you from injury while doing any type of action sport.
In this video I talk about all of the different safety equipment I wear and use while riding that have saved me on more occasions than I can count.

Here’s a fresh one Wink Grant put together from a trip he took with Jason Teet, Chris Cadot and Ryan Hiebert from Vancouver to Victoria, BC to check out the street spots.

Drop The Pin – Kerley, Martinez & Chavez

May 22, 2018

Chad Kerley, Antonio Chavez and Corey Martinez drop a pin and cruise some spots…

Here’s the latest Drop The Pin video from Ride BMX. This time around Chad Kerley, Corey Martinez and Antonio Chavez explore some spots around San Diego after Antonio drops a pin on his map app. Check out where they ended up and what they stacked for clips!

“Blindly drop a pin on your phone and see what you can find…

Antonio Chavez dropped the pin and two powerhouses tagged along to the hills of Pacific Beach. Definitely not a place we would have ever chosen, but I happened to grow up in the area and knew of a couple of spots and we stumbled onto a few more. Overall, we covered ground on this one, so luckily Colin Varanyak happened to meet up just as most of us were out of gas…

Thanks to Antonio, Chad, and Corey for killing it…and to Colin for saving us from riding up that hill)
