GT At Swampfest 2019

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…

Battle Clip – Dan Conway VS The Kinker

Leave a Comment

Watch as Dan Conway battles it out with a kinked rail for the GT “Seriously Fun” DVD…

Anyone that knows Dan Conway knows that he’s a beast and that he’s not about to let a rail get the best of him. While filming for the GT “Seriously Fun” DVD (that is now online), he had to battle it out with this kinked rail that wasn’t about to let him walk away with an easy clip. Hit play to watch Dan take a heavy beating, but get back up over and over to make sure the rail didn’t win.

“We pulled up to this school somewhere in Connecticut while on a summer-time GT trip though the East Coast. Dan eyed up the rail for a short time before announcing that he wanted to crook to ice the second stage. What followed was quite the battle as the rail is steep and obviously kinky. After a digger or two it felt like Dan had figured things out and was set to pull it next go, but not after more shitty crashes. Conway put himself through so much that I started to wonder if we’d be walking away clipless… but Dan is a warrior and put in the work it took to get it done. So Savage. This clip was originally featured in Dan’s belter of an ender section in GT’s “Seriously Fun” DVD which you can watch here.” – Ride BMX

GT Bicycles “Seriously Fun” – FULL VIDEO

GT Bicycles have released their entire “Seriously Fun” DVD online for your viewing pleasure!

A little while back each of the sections from the GT Bicycles “Seriously Fun” DVD was released online, now today we get the full DVD all in one place for your viewing pleasure! Hit that play button and take in all 21 minutes of this gem. It’s an amazing watch from start to finish!

“In early 2015, GT took to the streets of Los Angeles and Kansas City to uncover a plethora of untapped spots across these two vastly different cities. With Ben Ward, GT BMX product and team manager at the helm, the brand released two successful shorter web videos – GT in LA and Bleeding Kansas – to kick off the beginning of a new era for GT BMX.

“GT in LA and Bleeding Kansas were incredible for the brand and showed the industry what we could do as individuals and as a team. We wanted to make sure what we did next topped them,” said Ward. “After seeing both edits, the new guys on the team were eager to start working on something original; that’s when the idea of a full-length video was proposed. The crew was fired up, and they started filming and stacking their own clips.

“Then, at the end of 2016, we reviewed their footage, jampacked with newly discovered spots and never-before-seen tricks; we knew we had something great in the making, and we began to see Seriously Fun emerge.”

Seriously Fun captures GT’s good times energy capitalizing on GT’s athletes’ signature riding styles and personalities. In Seriously Fun, viewers will see how seriously the team takes their fun from coast to coast in the US to Brazil, France, Germany, the UK, Taiwan, and more.

“It’s been a long time since GT has produced a full-length video and DVD. I can’t think of a better way to pay respect to our athletes who share the same passion for BMX. Seriously Fun reflects each personality through their approach to riding and filming,” added Ward.

When looking for partners to produce the video, Ride BMX was the obvious choice. GT has been an advertising partner with the magazine for two-and-a-half years, and most of the outlet’s editorial and video staff have been instrumental in many of GT’s recent online releases.

In addition, GT selected BMX industry videographer and editor Andrew Brady to bring Seriously Fun to life. It was Brady’s overall passion and excitement for the project which made him the main man for the job.

“Dan Conway goes all in for his ender section in GT’s “Seriously Fun”. Dan took some diggers while filming this section, but all those big rails, kinkers, hubbas, and ledge/rails stand no match for this savage.” – Ride BMX
