Madera – Erik Elstran and the Most Creatively Edited BMX Edit Ever?

February 17, 2017

Erik Elstran has done it again…

The title might be a little excessive and click-baity, but let’s be real… You CANNOT pass up an Erik Elstran BMX video! Here’s his latest for Madera that packs in some really creative spots with some pretty unbelievable, creative and completely original riding in all seasons. Erik slays spots in the middle of the summer and in the middle of a Minnesota snow storm in the winter. This is an absolute MUST SEE of a BMX video! Check it out!

“Wow. Just wow. I don’t think I have ever felt so good about life in general after watching a BMX edit. Erik Elstran is infectiously happy in real life and this edit (done by the man himself) does an incredible job of conveying that happy and positive vibe that he emits. Yes, the editing is top-notch, but the riding is also out of the world. There are certainly a pile of “never-been-done” tricks in here as well as some serious bangers.” — Mike Hinkens

Monster Energy – Toyota Triple Challenge: Glendale

February 17, 2017

The Monster Energy Toyota Triple Challenge made its way to Glendale, Arizona a little while back and here is a highlight reel of some of the action that went down! When you drop some of the top dirt riders in the world on a course like this, you know there is no shortage of crazy riding to take in!

“The progression continues in Glendale, Arizona, as the best dirt riders in the world hit the Toyota BMX Triple Challenge just before the gate drops at the Monster Energy Supercross series. With the points race in full swing, Monster’s own Kyle Baldock came out swinging, but it was the relative unknown, Brian Fox, who was able to put it together in his final run and take the win. The third and final stop of the Triple Challenge will go down in Atlanta, Georgia, on February 25th and we’ll be crowning a champion. See you there!

Results:
1. Brian Fox

How To Break and Assemble A BMX Chain

February 17, 2017

The one thing most people hate doing on their bike…

There are two kinds of people in this world… Those who love working on their bike, and those that absolutely hate it with a firey passion. Unfortunately when it comes to riding BMX, you either have to learn how to fix things when they inevitably break (you can’t possibly expect a bike to hold up to all that crazy riding you do, right?) down over time. One of the most common repairs, beside Fixing a Flat Tire is fixing a chain when it breaks or removing an old chain and installing a new chain. Let’s face it, BMX chains can be a pain in the ass. It’s something that requires a bit of practice and patience because things can quickly go wrong with it. Luckily for you, the guys at Unleaded BMX over in France put together this video showing you how to probably assemble and break a chain with a chain breaker. This sub-titles are in French, but luckily the process is universal for all languages. Hit play and take it all in!

“Let’s start this serie with an How to assemble/disassemble a BMX chain, on a “We were tired of riders not reading the instructions” background.”
