Oh hell yeah! Stoked on this. Jason Phelan is now doing it for GT Bicycles and he’s kicking it off with the rail to backflip! Some of you know Mike Escamilla did this years ago and Jason gave it a go and crashed pretty bad doing it… So, he decided to give it a go again and did it perfect! Check out the video above then a behind the scenes look below!

Here’s another sneak peek GT Bicycles‘ Brand Manager, Ben Ward, dropped on something he is working on! It looks like their Pool tire will be getting some color in the near future including a “sweet” one we haven’t seen from other brands yet! Above is a photo of the Pool tire in red Clay, Chocolate brown and Earl grey! No word on the set release, but if Ben is sharing the photo it has to be getting close!
New tire colors and 4-Piece Bars? I can only imagine what else Ben and GT Bicycles are working on…
Here’s a quick video from GT Bicycles that we spotted over on Can You Dig It! This short but sweet BMX video features Leandro Moreira taking a lap through the Caracas trails with a GoPro camera! He also calls out the tricks as he goes which is a little hard to understand, but it’s clear as to what he’s doing! Check it out!
Ride BMX dropped this banger of a video from GT Bicycles featuring Rob Wise, Jeremiah Smith and Brian Kachinsky crushing it on the streets of Los Angeles! With a line up like this, you know there’s a lot of gold to see in this BMX video!
“GT has been making some moves as of late. First they brought on product guru Ben Ward as BMX brand manager, then they added Brian Kachinsky to the equation, turning the team into a stacked trifecta of Kachinsky, Jeremiah Smith, and Rob Wise. The dudes recently convened in LA for a week, effectively kicking off the beginning of this new era for GT.

We woke up to an interesting photo in the Facebook feed this morning. Ben Ward, GT Bicycles new BMX team manager / product developer / all around good dude, posted up a little sneak peek photo of some bars that he is showing off at the Taipei Bicycle Show this week. The bars are based off their original iconic 4-piece bars that a lot of you older guys know and love! We asked Ben for some details on the specs, but he wasn’t able to give us any specific details just yet as far as specs or a release date goes… Based off the photo it does appear that they will be available in black and chrome and will come with more modern geometry as far as sizing goes. Release date? If they’re showing these off like this… Our guess is within the year.
So, if you could pick the geometry for these; rise, width, backsweep and upsweep, what would your ideal dimensions be for these bad boys? Let us know in the comments!
Here’s a rad one featuring GT‘s Brian Kachinsky, Rob Wise, Jeremiah Smith and team manager, Ben Ward, getting some time in on a plaza out in California! With a crew like this, you know good things happened! Check it!
“GT has been making some serious moves as of late… One of these moves was a recent trip to California where the dudes took full advantage of warmer climates and destroyed a barrage of street setups put in front of them. This 9 Trick Fix from a local plaza is just an appetizer for the main entree street feature dropping later this week.” – Ride BMX
It looks like Brian Kachinsky has found himself a home on the GT Bicycles team for 2015 and the foreseeable future! I know GT have been making some big changes and I think this is definitely a step in the right direction. Expect plenty of good things to come from this new deal! Check out the official word below!
“I’m proud to announce today that I am now riding for GT Bikes. It’s an honor to join with a brand that’s been making BMX bikes for longer than I’ve been alive. I’ll never forget the moment that I walked into my local bike shop as a 12 year-old and walked out with a chrome GT Vertigo which solidified my love for BMX. In 2015 things have come full circle and I’ll be riding the same brand of bike that got me hooked for life in beginning. I look forward to being a part of the team and working with everyone at GT. Fun times ahead! (photos by @timothyburkhart)” – Brian Kachinsky
