GT At Swampfest 2019

Leave a Comment

Just when you thought you have seen every video with every possible angle from GT Bicycles coming through with a video from their team trip into the Swamp. This one is different than the other videos we’ve seen with more focus just on what the team got into while cruising the ramps and trails. There’s definitely a bunch of footage we didn’t see in the other videos in this one, making for a real good watch. Hit play and check out plenty of bangers.

“It’s the one BMX event of the year that cannot be missed. The world’s longest hand built rail…over a swamp, a ridiculous double loop of death, the finest handcrafted plywood features and ramps plus maximum bonfire carnage can only mean it’s Florideah Swamp Fest.

GT BMX Freestyle team riders Albert Mercado, Brian Kachinsky, Dan Conway, Leandro Moriera, and Team Manager Ben Ward made their way down to Florida to pit themselves against the crazy. We tossed in Tristen Cooper and Mad Mike Guth for their first official team trip and sprinkled on our newest recruit, 16-year-old Brazilian phenom Gustavo Balaloka. Jeff Purdy and Jeff with Glasses even wandered in from the swamp to lend a hand to the chaos.

Did they survive? Let’s put it this way, they will never be the same…

Here’s a raw cut DIG put together from the contest filled with riding and a bunch of non-riding footage that’ll get you laughing. This looks like it was a super good time, so hit play and take it all in!

“For 2019, Van Homan and Brian Kachinsky brought their Uncovered Am contest across the Pacific to Murasaki Park in Tokyo, Japan. With Japanese local burger-slinger and park owner Bashi handling the mic, the stoke was high, and riders of all ages were killing it. When it was all over, Shota Higa took home first place mini jersey barrier trophy, and the coveted invite to Battle Of Hastings; congrats. Thanks to Source BMX, BSD, GT, FIT, and Odyssey for the support to help make this awesome day a reality.” – DIG

““In this episode of the ImprimaturBMX podcast, Mike Hinkens and the highly-successful and widely-respected Pro BMXer Brian Kachinsky discuss BMX from the perspective of a paid professional, an X-Games Medalist, and also a down-to-earth street rider. They touch on topics including: being an advocate for BMX, riding for “big brands” versus “core brands,” sponsorships, and the concept of selling out.”
