Dan Kruk Bike Check

February 13, 2014

If Dan Kruk isn’t a name that’s on your radar just yet, I’d suggest you get familiar because based off his latest video for Stolen, he’s been progressing so fast and dropping some serious hammers out on the streets lately. After checking out his latest video, we hit Dan up to see what was new and he mentioned that he was just about to build up a fresh setup thanks to a new shipment of goodies from Madera. We figured that was perfect enough timing to take a closer look at his dialed new unit and find out what else he has going on these days! Let’s take a peek at his bike, then watch that new edit (again) at the bottom of this to see just what I’m talking about!

Quicky: Erik Elstran

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to ride with Erik many, many times… and every single time I wondered “How the hell is he not pro yet?” The level of riding Erik is on is undoubtably on another planet and if it doesn’t make you smile or even make you the slightest bit of happy watching him ride, you’re probably a pretty sick and twisted human.
Finally, regardless if Erik wasn’t trying to make it happen, the inevitable happened and he was given the bump up to the Sunday and Madera pro teams pretty much simultaneously at the beginning of the year after putting in his years blowing minds around the world.
We figured with all the good things going on, it would be a good time to catch up with Erik and find out what’s new in the life of the guy from the woods of Wisconsin, turned Minnesotan turned Texan. Let’s see what he had to say!

Jeff Dowhen Bike Check

January 31, 2014

I’ve known Jeff for a long time now… I couldn’t tell you exactly how we met, but that doesn’t really matter. What I’m getting at is, over the years I’ve learned that Jeff is one of those people who truly believes in riding things until they’re properly worn out. Taking a closer look at his bike, you can see he’s a firm believer in that methodology, and thanks to BSD and Madera, his bike is always running good regardless if it’s brand new or parts he has been running for a year. We decided with him having a fairly new setup for a change, it would be a good time to take a closer look at his current ride! Let’s take a closer look at this dialed unit!

Madera – Arik Elstran Added to the Madera Team

January 13, 2014

Madera just announced that they are now proudly supporting one of the most creative riders in BMX history, Arik Elstran. Here’s their official statement on the team addition:

“We are super excited to announce that Arik Elstran will be riding for Madera this year and beyond!
Arik has been bouncing in and out of the lives of guys on both Madera and Profile for years and it just makes sense to bring him into the family officially. Not only has he been a riot whenever we travel with him, he is undoubtedly one of the most creative riders we have ever seen. We are already planning some trips for 2014 in order to experience more of Arik’s unique road trip wardrobe (see pic) as well as his very fun and amazing riding.”
