Conway, Mercado & Ludwig on GT Bicycles

May 17, 2016

Here’s some news we weren’t expecting to see this morning. If you were wondering what Dan Conway, Albert Mercado and Jeff With Glasses Ludwig were up to when there were some surprising news about them parting ways with sponsors over the past few weeks, it looks like we now have the answer. They are all now on the GT Bicycles freestyle team! Below is the full scoop! It looks like GT have been making some awesome moves.

“GT Bicycles today announced the addition of three members to its BMX Freestyle program for 2016, Dan Conway, Albert Mercado and Jeff “With Glasses” Ludwig. All are strong additions to round out a crew that includes Brian Kachinsky. “Collectively, we have done enough grinds to circle the globe a few times,” said Brian Kachinsky, GT Freestyle BMX Pro. “This is a dope crew, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the year. Each of these guys has their own unique riding style. Everyone has a good sense of humor and great attitude toward the sport of BMX.”
Dan Conway, a Philadelphia area powerhouse, has stamped his name on some of the heaviest street set-ups across the US. His work ethic, coupled with a positive attitude, gives Conway the grit needed to conquer unique street spots and hang with the GT crew. Conway’s positivity and heavy tricks will excite and rally the team to push themselves as hard as they can.

Alberto Mercado has earned his place among the legendary tradition of San Diego shredders with his style, power and finesse. Mercado brings an easy approach to riding, consistently putting out video parts that are both progressive and fun to watch. His hunger for projects that exercise his creative abilities makes him a welcome addition to the GT BMX Freestyle team.

GT rounds out the BMX Freestyle team with Jeff “With Glasses” Ludwig, the reigning East Coast Crooked Grind Champion. Hailing from Spotswood, New Jersey, the holy land of street riding, Ludwig has left his mark on the industry in a short period time by showcasing his style in impactful video parts. Ludwig’s respect for BMX aligns perfectly with the laidback, but hardworking GT freestyle vibe.

“I’m stoked to have a complete team with Brian, Dan, Al and Jeff,” said Ben Ward, GT BMX Freestyle Product and Team Manager. “We’ve been friends for a long time, and I can’t wait to get out on the road with them as part of the GT crew. It’s bound to lead to some BMX magic.”

Dan Conway OFF Fit Bike Co.

April 11, 2016

Here’s some news we didn’t see coming. Dan Conway has decided to step down from the Fit Bike Co. team (which he has been apart of since 2010). It doesn’t really specify why he decided to step away, but we would imagine he might have some new opportunities in the works. We’ll definitely keep you posted when and if we hear anything. Below is Dan’s announcement.

“After seven years of repping the brand, I have decided to leave the Fit Pro Team. It’s been a great ride filled with some incredible times that I’ll never forget. I can’t thank Chris, Dougie, Dylan, Melissa and everyone over at The Building enough for all that they’ve done to support me. In the mean time, I’m going to finish my Stink Pit section, start to edit SP5, and seek out new projects that will allow me to travel more and find more riding opportunities.”

Ender Ender – Dan Conway “Holy Fit”

April 5, 2016

There’s not a whole lot of riders out there that would go for a clip when literally everything was stacked against them. When it came time for Dan Conway to get a clip that ultimately became his ender for his section, there wasn’t much that could stop him. Despite rain, two flat tires, multiple crashes and security hovering, he still managed to get it done. Check out this behind the scenes look, along with the story from Dan in this new Ender Ender courtesy of DIG

That’s exactly what Dan Conway encountered when he was on a Holy FIT filming trip in Phoenix, AZ. Despite pretty much every factor pretty much fighting against Dan he got it done somehow, with some hilarious results in the process! Let the man himself explain more…

The Daily Grind In North Carolina

February 19, 2016

The Daily Grind crew are no strangers to road trips in search of street spots. Over the past few years they have hit up spots all over the East and West Coasts and plenty in between. They recently decided to load up and head East to North Carolina to see just what the state had to offer for street spots. Although North Carolina is primarily known for Greenville in the BMX world, it’s safe to say this place has some amazing street spots, too. Check out 9 minutes of heavy footage from Zack Gerber, Dan Conway, Troy Merkle, Tony Cherry, Scott Steele, Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold, Mike Vitatoe and Grant Ueberroth who put in some serious work during their visit.
