Weird & Revered – Logan Kirzinger “Vagabond Squad” Section

May 13, 2020

The Weird & Revered crew coming through with another section from their “Vagabond Squad” DVD for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get Logan Kirzinger‘s section that is loaded with real solid riding, along with plenty of laughs and some heavy hill bomb action. Take a look!

““Vagabond Squad” is a full-length video from Canada’s Weird & Revered crew. Filmed from 2016 to 2019, the project is community rooted with a strong focus on the Edmonton BMX scene. Although a majority of the clips are from the crew’s home city, the footage spans 9 countries, 8 American states, and 4 Canadian provinces and territories.

Next up in our release of sections from Vagabond Squad is Logan Kirzinger.” – DIG

“Logan is the ultimate wildcard in the Weird & Revered crew. It’s often difficult to tell if Logan is in control or fully freestyling it. His life is loose and his riding is even looser. Although this DVD part is short and sweet, I think it’s an accurate reflection of Logan’s riding and his personality. He brings an overwhelming amount of positive energy and fearless experimentation to the crew. That’s something we can never get enough of.” – Justin Schwanke

The Story of Ramped Construction

May 12, 2020

It’s pretty amazing where BMX can lead you, even when you aren’t on your bike! As many of you know, Cory Wiergowski is an absolute SHREDDER on a bike. What some of you might not know is that he’s also an absolute shredder when it comes to building ramps, and really anything carpentry related. A few years back he started up Ramped Construction to focus on doing what he loves to do, building ramps and everything else from decks to furniture and even houses. Here’s the story of how it all got started for Cory from his first ramps when he was a kid to where he is today. There’s no doubt that you have likely seen something he has had a hand in building over the years in videos, and maybe you have even had the chance to ride those spots. Take a look!

BMX can take you places you never realized, and you can apply the things you learn on two wheels to the real world. You probably didn’t expect it when you first hopped on a bike, but it’s a lot more than you might realize.

Here’s a raw cut of footage from his “ABD” DVD section that gives you a taste of just why they gave him the promotion. You’ll have to check out the full DVD to see the rest of what he dropped, along with the whole Madera squad!

“We are proud to welcome Mike Stahl to the Madera Pro team.

Over the three years we spent making the full-length Madera ABD video, Mike busted ass more than anyone on the team and that earned him a spot on the Madera Pro Team. These clips are leftovers that didn’t make the cut for his 7 minute master class in all things BMX.

Make sure to get a hold of Madera ABD on disc at the link below in order to see what really earned him his pro spot!
