This is one of those videos that will probably leave you wanting more. Jake Seeley made his way to the Profile Racing warehouse in Florida to take a piece of aluminum into a Madera Pilot V2 front hub from start to finish. This video is only a minute long and most of this is Jake making his way around the warehouse, which will definitely leave those of you who want to see the full process in detail wanting more. Either way, this is a promo for a giveaway that Madera is doing where you can WIN the hub that Jake gets made and signs. Get the details below!

“Madera rider Jake Seeley headed down to St. Pete, Florida and stopped by the Madera/Profile factory to help make one of our Madera Pilot Front Hubs.

Tag along as he journeys through the factory checking stuff out and helping the hub go from a chunk of a aluminum to finished product.

Madera BMX – Dylan McCauley Welcome to the Pro Team

February 2, 2018

Dylan McCauley has been given the well deserved bump on up to the Madera Pro team!

Here’s some news we have been waiting to see for quite a while now. Madera has given Dylan McCauley a bump on up to their PRO TEAM after riding for the Flow / AM team for a few years. Dylan has been crushing it for quite some time and no stranger to putting his pegs to heavy use out on the streets, progressing and pushing himself every day. We have had the chance to spend some time with Dylan in the past and the dude is just as solid off the bike as he is on the bike. Those combinations make him a perfect fit for the team. Check out the welcome video above to bring the news!

“Dylan has been a part of the Madera family for quite a few years now. His riding has been developing and progressing since day one and it has been pretty obvious for quite some time that he was gonna be an important part of our crew for years to come. Dylan never stops riding, never stops smiling, and never ceases to amaze us and we are super proud to welcome him to the Madera Pro Team!

Take a look at the edit he just put together for this and pay really close attention. Dylan is NOT goofy-footed, so good luck figuring out when he is doing something oppo or even switch footed!

During a recent trip down to Florida, Dan Foley spent some time cruising a skatepark and a few street spots. As always, Dan brings a ton of style to everything he touches with his cranked turndown and tables, big airs and more. Hit play and enjoy!

“Dan Foley stopped by the Madera/Profile Factory down in Florida to check out where all of our stuff was made, but had time for a few quick clips as well. Take a look at what he got done one lazy afternoon in Tampa.

Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo on Madera BMX

January 3, 2018

Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo have made the switch from Profile Racing on over to Madera BMX and they’re kicking off 2018 with a bang.

Here’s some news we didn’t see coming! It looks like Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo have made the move from the Profile Racing Pro team to the Madera BMX Pro Team. It’s not really a huge change considering Profile and Madera are owned by the same company, have their products made in the same building in Florida and basically share everything, but yeah! Hit play to watch Jake and Grant go to work on the streets to bring the news! We have a feeling we’ll see some big moves from Madera this year if they’re making moves like this already.

“ No, that’s not a typo, long time Profile riders Jake Seeley and Grant Castelluzzo are now riding for Profile’s sister company Madera. With both brands being under the same roof, the core support is the same, but now Jake and Grant, two prominent street riders, will be riding for the more street focused brand Madera. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect, because from the sounds of it, Madera has a lot in the works for 2018… ” – Ride BMX

Madera BMX – Unboxing: Front Hub Guards

December 27, 2017

Madera’s latest “Memo” video gives you some insight on the Madera C4 and Profile Aegis front hub guards…

If you run a Madera or Profile Racing front hub and you need to get some hub guards, here’s a video for you! Madera had Mike Hinkens sit down to explain the difference between the Madera C4 front hub guard and the Profile Racing Aegis front hub guard, and how to install them on your hubs. I personally run the Aegis guard on my Profile Mini hub and love it. Super easy to install, works great and has held up for a really long time! Check it out!

Madera X Profile Racing In Houston 2017

December 21, 2017

The Profile Racing and Madera BMX teams spent some time in Houston, Texas riding the endless spots!

When you bring the Profile Racing and Madera teams together, good things happen! You can see that in this video featuring Jeff Klugiewicz, Grant Castelluzzo, Jake Seeley, Dan Kruk, Dan Foley, Dylan McCauley and Mike Hinkens who spent some time cruising around Houston, Texas slaying spots galore! Hit play and check out a ton of excellent riding!

“Madera and Profile team up their teams for a trip to the great state of Texas… Houston to be exact. Madera trips are like clockwork, amazing and progressive riding from a variety of street riding specialists. Adding in Profile’s Jake Seeley, Grant Castelluzzo, and Jeff K to the mix just makes this that much better. Oh yeah, Dan Kruk is ON ONE right now.

Though Madera and Profile do different things and have a different style, they are made in the same factory and their team members are all friends. Last month, guys from both teams decided to do officially what they often do anyway: go on a trip together! After the Profile dudes got their bike’s stolen in Houston last year and Dylan McCauley of Madera moved there and found a zillion spots, it seemed like everyone wanted to go there. Dudes from both teams spent a week together in Houston filming and shooting photos (as well as planning for some big moves next year!) and this is what they came back with. Enjoy.

Madera In Minnesota – Raw Files

December 6, 2017

Get a look at a bunch of leftover footage that didn’t make the cut for the full Madera In Minnesota edit!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JXvSp_XAjY

Minnesota is a place that rarely comes to mind first or even second as a place for a BMX trip. What most people don’t know is that there are a bunch of great spots hidden here. This past summer the Madera team decided to see just what was hiding in the land of 10,000 lakes and ended up coming through with a great video from the trip (which you can check out below). In fact it was so productive they had a bunch of leftover footage from b-roll that didn’t make the cut, crashes, randoms and laughs that they didn’t want to go to waste. Check out just under 6 minutes of clips!

“The last Madera trip went so well that the crew ended up with more than enough footage to make a trip video so we decided to make a raw clip video from the left overs and outtakes. Some of this stuff is simply too entertaining to let go to waste. Check it out and get into the good times that a tight knit crew can have on the road.” – Madera

Just incase you missed the actual edit that dropped the other week, here it is below!

“Madera is family, so when the TM wanted to plan a trip for 2017, he made sure it would be a place where almost everyone associated with Madera could meet up and shred. It just so happens that the place he picked, Minneapolis, is chocked full of spots as well. Over the course of 10 days, almost everyone associated with the Madera team came through and the result is 10 minutes of diverse and banging footage. From rails to walls and ledges to wedges, the Madera guys shredded hard and had a blast doing it. Take a look at what kind of riding happens when good friends who are badass bike riders get together in a cool city with an amazing videographer.

Riders: Dan Foley, Dan Kruk, Dylan McCauley, Erik Elstran, Mike Hinkens, Taylor Thompson, Jeff Dowhen, and August Zeratsky.
