Spot Check: Lake Owen Camp

December 6, 2012

This video is awesome, but sad at the same time. It’s awesome because Mike Hinkens, Jeff Dowhen, Erik Elstran and Dylan McCauley all throw down some awesome riding. It’s sad because it was announced this past week that Lake Owen was sold to new owners and they have no intention running it as an action sports camp anymore. I’m just glad I had the opportunity to spend some time up there before they shut down a place as amazing as that. RIP Lake Owen!

“Spot check on Lake Owen! Arik Elstran and his mouse-trap riding style take on this ramp Mecca in Northern Wisconsin. Along with Arik, The Milwaukee Crew toss in some hot barspins, roof rides and fakie grinds adding fuel to Arik’s obstacle-course riding. Together these guys throw down some serious original moves! Filmed by Grant Castelluzzo.” – Network A

Insight: Lake Owen Camp

August 3, 2012

BMX

Growing up, I remember getting these random brochures in the mail for Lake Owen and Woodward. I’m sure it was from some mailing list that I got on after buying something online, who knows. Either way, I remember looking at the brochures thinking how amazing those places looked and how much I wanted to go. It was kind of that BMX mecca where all the pros hung out all day and did nothing but ride and have fun. I don’t know what it was, but I never had the balls to ask my mom to let me go growing up. That’s something I’ve definitely regretted over the years because I’m sure if I had, it wouldn’t have taken me all these years to get up to Lake Owen to check the place out. This past weekend I was invited up by BMX director, BSD and Madera rider, and all around awesome dude, Jeff Dowhen to visit for a few days. I knew there was no way I was missing another summer without going to this place, so I loaded up and made the drive into the middle of the woods Wisconsin. I decided it would be rad to give you guys a little look at some of what the place has to offer. Check it out!

Lake Owen spent the past summer filming with some of the pros and campers that made their way through Cable, Wisconsin for their new video “Lights Out”. It looks like it features a bunch of riding, skating and all the other fun they get into there. They’ve got a premiere going on in Minneapolis on January 2nd. Make it there if you can!

Madera – Sean Morr – Lake Owen Fun!

July 29, 2011

“This is a fun little edit that I shot on my iPhone and edited in 20 minutes while bored… It is certainly NOT serious, but damn amazing for 30 minutes of total work/riding. Enjoy Sean shredding at Lake Owen on some jib setups all to the stylish amazingness of screen swipe transitions.” – Madera
