GT – “Can You Film This?” Pro Mix

December 2, 2023

GT uploaded the Pro Mix section from their “Can You Film This?” video!

The sections from GT‘s “Can You Film This?” video continue to flow. This time around we get the Pro Mix featuring their pro team slaying spots. This is definitely a section you won’t want to miss. You can also check out the full “Can You Film This?” video as well!

“While the focus of Can You Film This? was on the up and coming generation of riders on GT, the pro squad stepped in for a bit as well. Here’s a bangin’ mix featuring Brian Kachinsky, Dan Conway, Mike Guth, Tate Roskelley, Leandro Moreira, and Albert Mercado.

CYFT highlights GT’s up and coming generation of riders. Initially a project to not let the typically bro-cam footage that was stacking up go to waste from those “Hey dude, Can You Film This?” moments. In time, the project gained momentum and evolved into a full-length we couldn’t be more proud of.”

Etnies – “Why Didn’t We Do This Before?” – Full Video (2006)

May 30, 2023

The full “Why Didn’t We Do This Before?” video from Etnies is now online!

Here’s a throwback that Snakebite BMX uploaded that I’m especially stoked to see again. This is the full “Why Didn’t We Do This Before?” video Etnies released back in 2006 from a trip the team (arguably one of the most legendary teams of all time) took from Austin, Texas on up to Wisconsin hitting up parks and spots along the way. This video is honestly part of the reason this website probably exists today since 16 year old me met these guys for the very first time at Jellystone in Wisconsin and it was one of those experiences that really stuck with me. If I remember right I met Ruben when I had just about all of his signature parts and shoes at the time. It was also when I was really getting into making videos, and seeing pros of this level ride in person definitely made an impact. Either way, this video is an awesome watch with a ton of great riding and that classic mid school riding that we just don’t get to see a lot of these days. Check it out!

GT – Gateway Grind

December 9, 2022

Some of the GT squad rolled through St. Louis!

This past summer when the temps were higher, some of the GT BMX team took a trip to St. Louis to explore the street spots all around the city. Here’s an 8 minute banger giving us a look at the riding and good times that were had. Needless to say, this one is too good to miss!

“St. Louis is best known for the Gateway Arch, a national monument symbolizing the westward expansion of the United States during the 19th century. What the history books forget to mention are the endless number of incredible spots that lay beyond—and literally under—said Arch. Dan Conway, Albert Mercado, and Brian Kachinsky make the most of an extended weekend in the streets of the Gateway City. A solid crew lead by gracious locals, fueled with great energy in a historic city, captured and presented by Ryan Chadwick for GT. Welcome to Gateway Grind.” – GT BMX
