Proper Bike Co. – Madrid
Proper just sent through a link to their latest BMX video from a team trip they took to Madrid, Spain to search the city for its finest spots! Needless to say, Janis Cunculis, James Curry, Jordan Stump and Sam Marden had no problem finding some amazing setups that allowed for some heavy clips to be stacked. They even found some massive doughnuts to munch on, too. Excellent riding and some real good film work makes this one a Must See for sure! Hit play and enjoy!

Additional footage: Janis Cunculis
Additional production: Jamie Cameron
We’d be been planning a trip to Madrid for literally years. It’s a city with too many good rails and we took a crew more than capable of taking advantage of that. Get out the city centre and you’ll find them.
Fortune was one our side. The weather, spots, and riders made for a happy crew. No injuries, few flats, and no broken parts meant we were able to accomplish a lot in a week without getting anywhere close to running out of the seemingly endless set ups.

Dutty Promo
The Dutty crew hit us with a link to their latest BMX video featuring Andrew Deaker, Ben Grist, Kieran Barnbrook and Kris Bunnage putting in work on street spots and parking garages over in the U.K! These guys put their pegs to heavy use, found some unique spots and had a good time all along the way. Well worth taking a look at if we may say!

“Real BMX” In World of X-Games Real Series
It looks like BMX will be getting a little shine time in the X-Games’ Real Series in 2016! They have added “Real BMX” to the line up, which will be aired on a one-hour special of “The World of X-Games” on ABC later this year in September! Above is a video with some information and below is more details! Any air time on national / international television is always a good thing, so we’re stoked to see what comes from this.
“After a successful 2015 campaign, X Games will host five new Real Series competitions in 2016 as part of the expanded content offerings provided by World of X Games on ABC. HOT POCKETS® brand sandwiches, has signed as the presenting sponsor for the series. For the first time, the 2016 Real Series event lineup will include Real BMX. Additionally, the Real Ski competition will shift focus this year from backcountry riding to skiing in urban environments.
Each Real Series competition will culminate in a one-hour World of X Games show that will premiere on ABC and feature behind-the-scenes athlete interviews and selection of the medalists. Like past Real Series competitions, each athlete will have the opportunity to team with an editor on the production of a video part that will present each rider in their own unique style. Each Real Series event’s videos will premiere on XGames.com where fans can watch and vote for their favorite.
The Real Series Presented by HOT POCKETS® brand sandwiches schedule for 2016 is detailed below:
• Real Ski – February 20, 2016
• Real Snow – March 12, 2016
• Real Street – May 2016
• Real Moto – August 2016
• Real BMX – September 2016
The 2016 series will begin with Real Ski, airing February 20 on ABC. Each Real Ski video part will debut on XGames.com/RealSki to be judged by a panel of industry experts. A first place cash prize will be awarded to the winner, as well as gold, silver and bronze medals for the top three athletes and their filmers. Fans will also have a chance to view and vote on their favorite video in a tournament-style bracket with the Fan Favorite winning an additional cash prize.
The six Real Ski athletes invited to compete are: Ahmet Dadali, Cam Riley, JF Houle, Tom Wallisch, Will Wesson and Clayton Vila.
The Real Snow competition will follow, with never-before-seen edits from Anto Chamberland, Zak Hale, Frank Bourgeois, Dylan Thompson, Cole Navin and Jake Welch.
“Being involved in X Games has always been my childhood dream, and it is incredible that I can now fulfill that dream without even setting foot in a traditional halfpipe or slopestyle course,” said Real Ski athlete Clayton Vila. “Filming video parts has always been such a driving force in the progression of skiing, but often the people who solely make video parts get overlooked. This event brings a whole new level of legitimacy to our sport, and is an amazing opportunity to show the world how far street skiing has progressed. I am beyond excited to showcase my Real Ski part, and to see what the other amazing athletes have put together.”” – X-Games
Product: Madera – Chrome Protocol HT Cranks
For the past few years, Madera‘s Protocol HT cranks have been available in one color to help keep the costs down; matte black. These cranks are very similar to Profile Racing cranks, minus a few minor details to help keep the production costs down and the overall price of the cranks down, while offering a more affordable price at the shop for you. It looks like Madera, who are celebrating 10 years in business, are starting to make a few more color options for those of you who want something a little more flashy. A few weeks ago we got a look at the Celestial colorway they added to the options, and now today we get a look at the chrome option! So, for about $157.99 you can get the Chrome Protocol HT cranks — with a heat-treated chromoly spindle — now through BMX shops, mail-orders or direct from the Madera Webstore!
