Madera In Minnesota

September 20, 2017

A little while back the Madera team spent a week and a half exploring street spots around Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota! The Twin Cities area is fairly untapped when it comes to spots since it’s an often overlooked place to travel to, to ride. The Madera team decided to see what the area had to offer and it’s safe to say they weren’t disappointed. Check out just over 7 minutes of clips the crew were able to stack on some amazing spots! The Maderasota video is too good to pass up!

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

“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.
