GT Bicycles – Michael Dickson Welcome Video

August 13, 2021

GT Bicycles added Michael Dickson to their squad over in Scotland a little while back, and now he has a proper welcome video for you to check out from the streets! Prior to this, we weren’t too familiar with Michael, but it’s super easy to see just why GT picked him up after watching this one! Watch as he puts every rail and ledge to work, along with some gaps and drops. Plenty of grinds, whips and more to enjoy in this one, so get on it!

“After adding Michael Dickson to the GT squad a few months back the dude got to work immediately. He took his powerhouse style to the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland, and put together this heavy video for his official welcome to the team!

Latane Coghill Sponsor Tape (2001/2002)

August 13, 2021

It’s crazy to think this is 20 years old! Alright, kids. Here’s one from back before Youtube and when the internet wasn’t quite as easy to use, and making videos were still a real process! Between filming, capturing the footage to a computer and editing on the computer that definitely didn’t have enough power, riders would make sponsor tapes and send them in the mail (not email) to brands in hopes of them getting noticed. Here’s an example that Powers Bike Shop uploaded giving us a look at Latane Coghill‘s sponsor tape from around 2001 / 2002! This one is packed with dialed riding and it’s easy to see just why he was getting noticed! What’s awesome is that Latane is still out crushing it in 2021 and is better than ever, and we’re sure the videos he’s in a hell of a lot easier to make, haha. Check it!

Hoffman Bikes – Ryan Barrett (2004)

August 13, 2021

Now this is what we’re talking about! Snakebite uploaded Ryan Barrett‘s section from the Hoffman Bikes video that came out back in 2004!This section is a mix of street, park and dirt clips where Ryan absolutely crushes it on everything. Big rails, big fufanus, stretched nothings on dirt and much, much more. A rider that can throw down on everything is pretty uncommon these days, but Ryan did it all back in the day!
