Madera BMX – Gulf Coaster Hub Promo

May 28, 2018

Madera have released their new Gulf Coaster freecoaster hub!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTVISRdEF2s

Here’s one we’ve been waiting on. Madera have released their Gulf Coaster hub for you to get your hands on. If you’ve been wanting a Z-Coaster from Profile Racing, but couldn’t quite afford the $357+ price tag, you’re in luck. This Gulf Coaster utilizes the same internals as the Z-Coaster, but has a different shell and no customization options like the Z-Coaster does as far as colors, axle, bolts, driver and slack rings. This one comes in 36-hole, right side drive with a 14mm axle, 90-degree slack ring and black for the only color. The hub is available for $244.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Madera worldwide, or direct from the Madera webstore. No word if they will have this hub available in left side drive in the future, but we would imagine that’s something that will be an option.

Either way, they’ve found some ways to make a more affordable version of the Z-Coaster hub, which is a perk! Learn more below!

“The Madera Gulf Coaster

Madera is proud to announce the release of the Gulf Coaster: an American-made coaster hub built with Profile Racing’s patented Z-Technology.

Simplified design and limited options allow for a more affordable, yet still high quality Z-style coaster. This style coaster allows you to engage and disengage the cassette within and thus have a more durable and consistent hub.

The hub is available now in a complete wheel or on its own. It comes ONLY in black with a 14mm solid axle and a 90 degree (1/4 crank) slack ring.

The hub weighs 624 grams/24.5 ounces and works with various Madera and Profile hub guards.”

You can check out more photos and details over on the Madera website now!

Madera Memo – Patio Ramp Session with Jeff Dowhen and Mike Hinkens

May 23, 2018

It doesn’t take much to keep Jeff Dowhen and Mike Hinkens entertained!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sg0O5wVIrk

The latest Madera Memo has arrived. This time around we get a short but sweet edit from a session that Jeff Dowhen and Mike Hinkens got in on a backyard patio bank to sub setup. This is a pretty tight space and the ramp isn’t exactly Nate Wessel quality, but it was enough for Jeff and Mike to have a productive session. Check out what went down!

“When you have some scrap wood, why not build a ramp. And when your from the Midwest, why not build a sub box… even if it’s on your patio in South America. Mike and Jeff put a technical hurting on this rickety bank to ledge as the sun beat down on them near the equator. Enjoy. Then go build something and shred it.
