Madera In Minnesota – Raw Files

December 6, 2017

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.

Madera BMX coming through with this week’s Madera Memo! This time around we get a look at a heated game of BIKE the team got into during their team trip to Minnesota at a little skatepark they cruised. As you can imagine with a team like Madera’s, they got a full spectrum of tricks from technical lip tricks to backrail double pegs to 360 turndowns and more. Check out what went down and who took the win!

“BMX – Madera Memo #15 – Team Game of BIKE

While in Minnesota filming our most recent mixtape, we warmed up at a local pre-fab skatepark and played a game of BIKE. It was supposed to go quick, but even after Taylor and Erik got everyone out, they battled hard and it got pretty serious.

Sunday Bikes In Taiwan

October 20, 2017

Some of the Sunday Bikes team made their way to Taiwan to see what it had for spots!

When you drop Chris Childs, Erik Elstran, and Brett Silva in a place like Taiwan, you know they’re going to find some amazing spots and cook up some incredible riding. Sunday Bikes recently sent the trio over to Taiwan with Walter Pieringer where they stacked a ton of amazing clips on some great spots while dodging monkeys. Check this BMX video out!

“Join Chris Childs, Erik Elstran, and Brett Silva on a wild ride through the frantic streets of Taiwan! These guys annihilated the craziest spots like only they can in a whirlwind week-long tour through Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and beyond. Taiwan is nonstop excitement!” – Sunday Bikes

Madera BMX – Ask Me Anything: Erik Elstran

October 5, 2017

The crew at Madera had Erik Elstran sit down and answer a bunch of questions that the fans had sent in for Erik to answer. Erik is one of those guys that DEFINITELY makes you curious about what he has going on on and off the bike and these questions end up covering a lot of ground from riding to smoking the devils lettuce to his favorite colors, what he would be doing if he wasn’t riding bikes and more! Take a look!

Madera In Minnesota

September 20, 2017

A little while back the Madera team spent a week and a half exploring street spots around Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota! The Twin Cities area is fairly untapped when it comes to spots since it’s an often overlooked place to travel to, to ride. The Madera team decided to see what the area had to offer and it’s safe to say they weren’t disappointed. Check out just over 7 minutes of clips the crew were able to stack on some amazing spots! The Maderasota video is too good to pass up!
