The Great Lakes State Crew out in Michigan coming through with their first full-length video under their new name (formerly 989 Crew, “Great Lakes State of Mind” that is just shy of 30 minutes of pure goodness.
“The 989Crew has rebranded as the “Great Lakes State Crew”
Our first full length web video “Great Lakes State of Mind” is the stepping stone for what we plan to evolve into.
“For this film I set out capture how beautiful our Great State is. While touching lightly on our decaying auto industry cities and our states hard drug problem. Every clip in this video was filmed in Michigan. The GLS crew brings a “run what ya brung” attitude. We see almost 200 days of precipitation. Compared to the Cali scene which is under 50 days of annul precip.. Rain or snow you’ll find us out enjoying what we love! Whether its bmx,mtb, skiing, or snowboarding we embrace our Michigan lifestyle and live it to the fullest extent. From Detroit to Houghton. L.P. to the U.P. Grab a cold one, que the video up on a flat screen and enjoy this video half as much as we did creating it!”

GLS would like introduce new crew rider Jesse Vasquez. Jesse is one of the most down to earth people we know and he is obviously a natural killer on his bike. The decision was made effortlessly and were excited to work more with him in the coming years.
