All right people! Here we go again! The second photo contest is here thanks to the support of Madera!

This time around we’re looking for your best photo that you shot!
Here are the rules:
1. The photo can be of street, park, trails or even flatland if you want.
2. You are allowed to use flashes or whatever equipment you want to shoot the photo.
3. You are allowed to edit the photo. Here’s a little advice on how to make your shot look good.
4. You are allowed to enter more than once.
5. All photos must be ORIGINAL and never before seen!
6. The photo MUST be shot by you. Stealing photos for this is sleezy! You don’t want to be sleezy.

Madera – Team Skatepark Edit

April 26, 2012

Damn this is good! So stoked to see some fresh footage of Josh Eilken!

“Part of the Madera team headed to California this spring of 2012 to film in the streets and shoot some photos. Two of the mornings they took it easy and headed to the Santa Barbara skatepark and filmed a few clips while hanging out on the beach.

Check out these clips and stay tuned for next month’s release of the full street edit!

Product: Madera – HT Cranks

April 23, 2012

If you caught our latest Drawing Board interview with Profile on their hubs, at the end they mentioned that Madera would be releasing some new cranks. Well, here they are. Fully heat-treated and a warranty to give you plenty of faith.

“Here they are after a long time testing and lots of prototypes. The HT cranks are made from 4130 Chromoly steel that is swaged to give the HT cranks their initial strength and then heat treated for a final hardening process. One of the biggest changes is that Madera is now offering a warranty on their cranks!

The new HT’s now incorporate a Limited Lifetime Warranty* against bending and breaking of the arms and spindle.They are available currently in Matte Black with other colors to follow.

MSRP of $142.95”

You should be able to pick these up wherever Madera is sold as of today. If not, have your shop give them a call and get a set coming your way! For more information, hit MaderaBMX.net.
