January 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

The scene in Milwaukee is always on it, even during a pandemic. The “It’s Time” video was filmed last year, and features a bunch of Milwaukee’s finest like Jeff Klugiewicz, Dan Kruk, Isaiah Johnson, Jeff Dowhen and many, many more. This is mostly street, but there’s some park and trails footage mixed in for good measure. Hit that play button and enjoy some midwest goodness.

““It’s Time” is a full-length video coming out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin – crafted together by DJ Zaren throughout 2020. Featuring the likes of Dan Kruk, Taylor Thompson, Isaiah Johnson and way more, this is definitely a must-see today.” – DIG

June 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Here’s some news we’re sure a bunch of you have already come across by now, but the majority of the Madera team have decided to part ways with the brand after Sean Morr came forward with details from a team trip in 2012, and his experience with riding for the brand, that shares his experience with racism that you can read about below. Team manager Mike Hinkens was fired after the details came to light. As of today, Erik Elstran, Dan Kruk, Jake Seeley, Grant Castelluzzo, Taylor Thompson, Jeff Dowhen, Mike Stahl, Isaiah Johnson and Jesse Romano have all since stepped down from the team after hearing Sean’s experience on the trip and with the brand as a whole. You can view their Instagram posts below as well! At this time, the Madera website is down, and we expect to see changes in the future. More importantly, check out Sean’s words and really understand it, because that is what is important.

You can always count on the Madera squad to deliver with dialed riding and good times. Here’s a new mix from some time the whole team spent cruising spots around Sacramento, California! It’s pretty wild that we don’t see a TON of footage coming from this place, considering it looks like there’s no shortage of amazing spots. Hit play to watch these guys slay what they came across in this 9 minute edit loaded with goodness.

“HELL YEAH! It’s not often you see the whole Madera team together on one trip, but 24hrs after the premiere of their excellent and recently released DVD, ‘Madera ABD’, they got the dudes in a van and set them loose in Sacramento, CA. The variety of styles in this is so sick to watch – get at 9 minutes of gems from a massive squad of Madera heads.

Madera – “ABD” Extras

April 20, 2020 Leave a Comment

The Madera crew had a bunch of leftover footage from their new “ABD” DVD. Instead of letting it go to waste, they whipped up this edit filled with the clips featuring Erik Elstran, Jake Seeley, Dan Kruk, Grant Castelluzzo, Mike Hinkens, Mike Stahl, Jesse Romano, Taylor Thompson, Dylan McCauley, Jeff Dowhen, Tom Villarreal and Isaiah Johnson going to work on the streets. Hit play and take this all in, then go grab a copy of the DVDD!

“If the 52 minutes of footage in Madera’s new full-length, ABD, wasn’t enough tech street madness for you, well here’s almost nine minutes more of it for ya! And if you still haven’t snagged a copy of ABD, the level of these outtakes should be a pretty good indicator of how wild the rest of the video is.” – Our BMX

It seems like there’s always something rad going on in Milwaukee. Here’s a video Jeff Dowhen uploaded from the Hoodie Weather Jam that 4Seasons Skatepark threw a little while back. The weather wasn’t the best, but it looks like these guys had a good time. The filming on this one is all over the place and the focus seemed to have a mind of its own, but still worth a look!

“When you plan the final bmx street jam of the year and of course it’s 30 degrees, rainy and windy.. BUT IT’S STILL BETTER THAN WINTER.
