When it comes to Erik Elstran’s riding, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected—and that it’ll be awesome. While on a recent trip to SoCal with the Madera team, Erik fired out five totally unorthodox clips at a very ordinary skate plaza.

Let Brett, Erik, and Chris walk you through our palace on wheels and home away from home on the Sunday Aussie Tour. Fun fact: we logged over 5000 miles in that puppy.
Erik Elstran, Chris Childs, and Brett Silva spent two weeks living in a plush RV traveling about Australia, riding, and enjoying all this beautiful country has to offer. Massive thanks to BMX International for making our trip possible, all the rad locals we met, and to all the awesome shops we hit along the way: Strictly BMX, Backbone BMX, BMX Mafia, Blackman Bicycles, LUX BMX, and BMX Centre.
It’s easy to see Erik Elstran is a free spirit. Take one look at whatever colorful and delightfully eccentric outfit he’s sporting at any given moment (that he probably sewed himself), and it’s pretty clear this guy isn’t trying to run with the herd.
Watching him ride, it’s even easier to appreciate the breadth of Erik’s fertile imagination. Erik can do whatever he wants on his bike, and he chooses not to do what everyone else is doing. Erik could be a tech rail master or flat ledge god if he wished, stacking the usual tricks in new and innovative ways and linearly progressing BMX in standard increments, but he is destined for so much more.
You can always count on Erik to see a spot where no one else has and look at a classic spot in ways others haven’t. Erik’s M.O. is to seek out and locate a unique spot, and then do the unthinkable on it. Never content to simply make do with the obvious, it’s his determination to go above and beyond, to carve his own path and dream up ideas no one else would ever think of, that defines Erik’s riding.
Erik has more fun on his bike than anyone I know. He’ll happily ride the most ridiculous non-spot as hard as he can for hours, or, even more impressively, be 100 tries in filming some impossible trick and still laughing and cracking jokes. Even when riding at the highest possible levels, he’s really just playing around. While cataloging footage for Grow Up, I discovered Erik had – by far – the most B roll of anyone one the team, and nearly all of it was him being stoked and goofing off. Erik possesses a singular positivity and enthusiasm for living that radiates outward and inspires those around him.
It takes something very special to end a two-year full-length team video, and special is about the best word I can think of to describe Erik’s section. What Erik does is more than just bike riding; this borders on performance art. So go ahead and check out his part; I dare you not to smile.

Next up we have the Grow Up doubles section. We had a lot of fun with this one, but make no mistake, some of these clips took hours to film, and there were some really close calls. I’m gonna say it was well worth it.
