It’s always fun seeing what Dan Foley is getting into while out searching for spots. It looks like he found a spot behind a shopping center that had a few little nuggets to catch a few clips on. After that, he heads to his local park for a session. As always, Dan comes through with plenty of style and the film work is on point. Enjoy!
“Took an afternoon to make use of a couple loading docks I think everyone else forgot. After that I hit up the local cement park to cruise some transition.”
Dan Foley coming through with a new video giving you a look at what he got into during his trip to Malaga, Spain for the Vans BMX Pro Cup last week.

This video is 25 minutes of goodness, so get on that play button and take it all in!
“The beginning of 2016 marked 10 years of existence for Madera. From three simple products to a full line of parts, we have grown thanks to two things: the people who have supported us and the riders who represent us. So, to celebrate 10 years of American-made BMX parts, 10 years of riding and traveling, and 10 years of great times, we think it’s fitting to showcase the riders who keep us going in a video made for the people who have kept us going. Check out what makes us tick, what we are proud to share, and what we hope gets you stoked. Thanks for all of your support and here’s to another 10 years!

Need a small, compact setup for filming on your phone? Here’s the best phone filming setup for under $15 according to Dan Foley…
For Dan Foley‘s latest video, he decided to give us a little insight into his setup that he uses for filming with his phone. In the video, Dan talks about the Sunpak Platinum Plus “Mini D” Tripod that he picked up for $12.99 and a cell phone mount that he managed to find at the Dollar Store for… You guessed it… A dollar. This is a pretty basic setup, but it’s probably the best phone filming setup for under $15 that you can get. Since not everyone has a Dollar Store near them, we decided to look up both items on Amazon for you. We found the Mini D tripod, but we weren’t able to find the phone mount for as cheap, but it’s available for $4.99. A little more expensive, but it’ll get the job done. Obviously, if you have a Dollar Store nearby, you should definitely take Dan’s (technically Rob Darden‘s) advice.
While we were looking, we came across two Tripod mounts for your phone that could also get the job done. One for $15.99 that includes a remote so you could start recording from a distance and then a cheaper kit that looks like it could also get the job done for you.
If you’re on the hunt for a way to film with your phone that allows you to get a good, clean shot… This might just be worth the investment. Cameras on phones these days definitely get the job done, but having a clean, shake free shot goes a long way when it comes to a BMX video that’s worth watching. There’s nothing worse than an edit filmed by a shaky hand.
Do you have any other affordable ways to get some clean shots while filming with your phone? Let us know in the comments below!
The title for this one is pretty self explanatory, but yeah. Dan Foley was out cruising around for some new spots to ride and came across this gem of a spot. This retaining wall had 25 “steps” that were set up perfect for a long manual down the hill. It’s pretty impressive considering how that setup is all down hill and Dan is brakeless. Plenty of bike control and balance being put to good use for this one! Take a peek.
“Gotta love a good manual challenge. Found this one nearby and couldn’t resist.”
