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!

“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.

Mike Hinkens – BMX Street In Ecuador

August 10, 2017

For those of you who didn’t know, Mike Hinkens made the move from his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin last year. As expected, he immediately went to work finding all the best spots to ride around the area. Here’s a video giving you a look at Mike and a few friends putting in work on the spots that he has come across so far. As always, Mike comes through with some real solid riding with plenty of grinds and cassette usage! Take a peek!

“Mike Hinkens moved to Guayaquil, Ecuador last summer and has been steady searching the largest city in the country for spots. When I got the chance to be there for three weeks I jumped at the opportunity to experience Ecuador. The days were short and extremely hot/humid but as you can see, Mike pushed through. – Grant Castelluzzo

“Super stoked on the awesome spots in Ecuador, but more stoked on the awesome dudes that have made riding here possible. Shoutout to all my homies in Guayaquil for the spots, the tours, and the good times! Muchísimas gracias a la gente de Guayaquil.” – Mike Hinkens
