The Madera team and some other get a laid back ledge session in…

During a recent trip to California, the Madera team were out filming at a ledge spot with a handful of others that showed up for the good times Here’s a behind the scenes look at what went down during the session on and off the bikes between Erik Elstran, Mike Hinkens, Grant Castelluzzo, Dylan McCauley, Jeff Dowhen, Broc Raiford, Jacob Cable, Mike Stahl, Jordan Godwin and more. This was a pretty productive session, so check out what went down!

“The Madera team spend a Sunday at one of the most ridiculous ledge spots in LA. And in typical SoCal fashion, you never who else may end up at the session—this time around guests include Jordan Godwin, Broc Raiford, Jacob Cable, and more. While Elstran put in work on a wild tech move for multiple hours, we caught Godwin annihilating the spot, and much more randomness as well.” – Ride BMX

Leave a Comment

When you see Erik Elstran’s name pop up, you know you’re in for a treat…

If there’s one guy who never fails to blow our minds every time we see him ride, it’s Erik Elstran! Every time he gets on his bike, he’s getting real creative and having a ton of fun doing it. Here’s a short but sweet video that’s proof that he is always doing some amazing things, since he cooked up all of these tricks in a single session! So rad.

“When it comes to Erik Elstran’s riding, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected—and that it’ll be awesome. While on a recent trip to SoCal with the Madera team, Erik fired out five totally unorthodox clips at a very ordinary skate plaza.

Madera In Minnesota – Raw Files

Leave a Comment

Get a look at a bunch of leftover footage that didn’t make the cut for the full Madera In Minnesota edit!

Minnesota is a place that rarely comes to mind first or even second as a place for a BMX trip. What most people don’t know is that there are a bunch of great spots hidden here. This past summer the Madera team decided to see just what was hiding in the land of 10,000 lakes and ended up coming through with a great video from the trip (which you can check out below). In fact it was so productive they had a bunch of leftover footage from b-roll that didn’t make the cut, crashes, randoms and laughs that they didn’t want to go to waste. Check out just under 6 minutes of clips!

“The last Madera trip went so well that the crew ended up with more than enough footage to make a trip video so we decided to make a raw clip video from the left overs and outtakes. Some of this stuff is simply too entertaining to let go to waste. Check it out and get into the good times that a tight knit crew can have on the road.” – Madera

Just incase you missed the actual edit that dropped the other week, here it is below!

“Madera is family, so when the TM wanted to plan a trip for 2017, he made sure it would be a place where almost everyone associated with Madera could meet up and shred. It just so happens that the place he picked, Minneapolis, is chocked full of spots as well. Over the course of 10 days, almost everyone associated with the Madera team came through and the result is 10 minutes of diverse and banging footage. From rails to walls and ledges to wedges, the Madera guys shredded hard and had a blast doing it. Take a look at what kind of riding happens when good friends who are badass bike riders get together in a cool city with an amazing videographer.

Riders: Dan Foley, Dan Kruk, Dylan McCauley, Erik Elstran, Mike Hinkens, Taylor Thompson, Jeff Dowhen, and August Zeratsky.
