Here’s a BMX video we’ve been really looking forward to seeing! The GT Bicycles team have been busy bouncing around the world this past year stacking clips on the streets from California to Taiwan and plenty of places in between! Here’s a look at their full “Seriously Fun” video that will be online for the next 72 hours courtesy of Ride BMX! Get on that play button and check out all 21 minutes of pure goodness before your time runs out! Everything about this kicks ass! If you want, you can download a copy right here and GT dealers will have physical DVD’s soon as well!

“It’s here!!! GT is currently premiering their new 20-minute DVD “Seriously Fun” right here on the site for 72 hours! The video is amazing, from Brian Kachinsky‘s BANGER opening section, to the sleeper Rob Wise section, grind technician Jeff with Glasses‘ part, Albert Mercado‘s light-hearted and uber-creative section, or the savage Dan Conway‘s HEATER of an ender. There are also appearances from the rest of the team like a short but sweet section from Jason Phelan, and a mix from the AM and flow crew. The video has feel-good vibes throughout and some seriously insane riding. High-speed gaps, gap to rails, huge/tall rails and hubbas, unique but gnarly setups, creative/tech jibs, spot use, crusty spots, Cali spots, this is GT BMX in 2017 and it’s pretty damn awesome.

DVD’s will be packed full of extras including past GT edits and a big secret bonus menu. Available soon at GT Dealers!” – Ride BMX

Monster Energy – Kevin Kalkoff: ESTHÉTIQUE

June 21, 2017

Now this is what we’re talking about! Monster Energy just released Kevin Kalkoff‘s new ESTHÉTIQUE where he teamed up with filmer Rich Forne to bring his speed and style to some unique spots! This video requires no music and is nothing short of a Must See! Enjoy!

“Sometimes, BMX is more about the set up/spot and how you ride it rather than the amount of tricks that get done. Monster Energy BMX rider Kevin Kalkoff lives by that rule and brings you ‘ESTHÉTIQUE’ as a perfect example that’s its not what you do but how you do it.

Sit back and enjoy raw and real BMX riding from one of the most stylish in the game.”

Los Angeles Ride – Caique Gomes

June 21, 2017

Here’s a rad video we had sent through by Alex Merriman featuring Caique Gomes out cruising around Los Angeles. We’re not sure why it took a few years for this footage to surface online, but it’s a real solid video we some great riding and super clean film work. Take a look!

“On a random Sunday afternoon a few years ago, I met pro BMX rider Caique Gomes in Long Beach, CA. With a skateboard under my feet and a RED Epic Dragon camera in my hands, we teamed up to shoot this video that day with zero plans of what it would become.
Venturing through the L.A. river in Compton to Downtown Los Angeles, we made our way across the city shooting as many tricks as possible.
In an effort to shoot quickly while on location, everything was captured handheld on a RED Epic Dragon. No Steadicam, Movi’s or tripods. The only other weapon of choice were a few varied focal length Schneider Cine-Xenar III lenses.
