Madera – Tom Villarreal Oregon Trail

October 1, 2015

Madera dropped some fresh footage from some time Tom Villarreal spent out in Oregon lately. Watch as he takes his amazing bike control to the streets, skateparks and trails. So many crazy clips in this BMX video. Hit play already!

“Hiking and Biking on the Oregon Trail with Tom Villarreal.

Tom Villarreal is all about the vibe and this edit gives off the best of vibes. While heading north and avoiding the dangers of the Oregon Trail, Tom was able to see some beautiful sites as well as film some beautiful clips. There are some classic spots in here and some new ones, but Tom uses all of them in the way he knows best: like a badass.

Merritt – Justin Care Upload Stem Promo

October 1, 2015

Merritt finally got around to uploading this Justin Care signature Upload stem promo to their channel, and damn are we glad they did. Justin fires out banger after banger from technical grinds to huge drops. Get on that play button and enjoy this BMX video!

“We are Re uping Justins Stem promo from a little while back since the new splatter colorway of his stem and all the other new splatter parts just dropped.

Justin Care is incredibly good at riding a bicycle. You may not have noticed, but that doesn’t make it any less true. Within this stem promo you will find gaps to flat so large that I felt inclined to contact the CTBUH and flat ledge grinds so technical that Yngwie Malmsteen couldn’t play them on guitar. Perhaps most importantly this video exists to highlight (and provide valuable insight into) Justin’s new signature stem, which much like the tip of the Washington Monument, is made of aluminum and exudes a sort of masculine, almost phallic vibe. Buy it now.

“Justin wanted a top load stem that could be run upside down and still raise your bars. Best of both worlds, clean looks and rise. Going with forged 6061 aluminum construction for both the body and cap produced a super strong stem with a design that wouldn’t be feasible with machining and also keeps the price low. 48mm reach and 21mm rise.””

Product: Subrosa – Kevin Kalkoff Signature Colorway

October 1, 2015

Here’s one we got a look at the other week at Interbike 2015! The guys at Subrosa have been working with Kevin Kalkoff on a signature colorway for the Noster III frame, Battle Fork II and Villicus bars with custom graphics. This new kit will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Subrosa worldwide real soon, so get the full scoop below!

“Stoked to announce our latest limited edition guest color way, and this time around it’s by Subrosa Skeleton Crew rider Kevin Kalkoff! Since landing a spot on the Subrosa team, Kevin has basically been on a non stop world tour attending contests, jams, road trips, and filming for the Vans BMX video.

From France, the U.K. and Germany, to Oregon, California, Las Vegas, and now onto Japan, to Kevin it’s all good as long it’s in the names of good friends, and good spots to ride!

His color way, dubbed Satin Moto Blue, features an awesome smooth satin finish with special decals. Due to the nature of the decals and the process of applying them, we are able to have the art go around curves, and even over welds without any bubbling or peeling! They really look hand painted.

His color way is featured on the products he runs, the Noster III frame, Battle Fork II’s, and Villicus bars and will be arriving in stores around the world starting this month through mid November. Hit up you local shop or favorite mail-order now, to ensure you get one!”
