Eduarda Penso Bordignon On GT

Leave a Comment

There’s been a ton of ladies picking up BMX bikes these days and crushing it. It’s actually been hard to keep up with all the new names popping up! GT Bicycles hit us with some news that they’ve added Eduarda Penso Bordignon to their line up down in Brazil! We’re not too familiar with Duda, but it looks like she rips and must be doing something right to land a spot on GT. Check out the official word below, along with a few photos. We would imagine we’ll be seeing more from Eduarada soon!

“We’re hyped to announce our latest rider for GT, Eduarda Penso Bordignon, from Brazil.

It’s awesome to see how much the female freestyle BMX scene has grown over the past few years. New riders are coming up across the globe and the level of progression is exploding. With that said, we’re excited to be supporting 20-year-old Eduarda Penso Bordignon from Brazil. “Duda Penso”, as she’s better known as, calls Francisco Beltrão home, where she’s been putting in work in the parks, dirt and streets for the past eight years.

She’ll be joining our current Brazilian team riders Leandro Moreira and her fellow Vans Brazil teammate, Gustavo Balaloka, as well as fellow female shredder Chelsea Wolf and the rest of the ever-expanding GT BMX Freestyle team! Welcome to the GT Bicycles family, Duda, let the good times roll!” – GT Bicycles

GT – The Art of Getting Hurt with Parker Heath

Leave a Comment

It’s pretty wild how quick things can go wrong, even with something that seems so common. Parker Heath has been on the injured list for the past 6 months due to a broken foot. This was going to destroy his whole year, but it looks like COVID cancelled all his plans, anyway. Here’s a video where Parker sits down to give you a recap of what he’s been up to from healing up to starting to get back on his bike and more. Hit play and find out what Parker’s been up to, along with a bunch of footage from before the injury for your viewing pleasure.

“Parker Heath broke his foot back in March while riding a massive ledge in Los Angeles. Only a few days later, after getting the upsetting news that he’d have a few months off the bike and miss out on a summer full of travel, contests, and filming, the world went into lockdown from the COVID pandemic. With nothing else much to do, Parker turned his attention towards taking care of himself physically and working on his artistic outlets, which include painting, ceramics, photography, and more…

Julian Molina On GT Bicycles

Here’s some awesome sponsor news! GT Bicycles have added Julian Molina to their team! As many of you already know, Julian is an absolute shredder and he does it with only one leg! Julian has been putting in a ton of work over the years and he recently ended up doing really well in the X Games Real BMX video contest (X Games Real BMX 2020 – Julian Molina Wins Fan Favorite). All that hard work paid off and now he’s got the backing from GT. We imagine this will lead to more footage and trips for him in the future. Check out the official word and more photos below!

GT X Simon Tabron Benefit Auction

Leave a Comment

To help Simon Tabron out after suffering a life changing heart attack followed up with a stroke, GT Bicycles have announced an auction with proceeds going to Simon’s recovery fund! They have two limited edition Gary Turner frames, bars and fork kits with a few other goodies included up for auction RIGHT HERE! The bidding starts out at $500 and obviously the higher it goes, the more can be done to help out Simon! Check out more details below. You can also donate on the GoFundMe Page if you don’t have those kinds of funds right now.

“In early September a friend of everyone here at GT was struck down with a life-changing health emergency – our good friend Simon Tabron suffered an extremely rare double-trauma, first a major heart attack and then almost immediately afterwards, a major stroke – it’s no doubt that this will affect Si and his young family’s lives forever, and they need our help.
At times like these, our community comes together and does just that. Simon is one of the good guys: a multiple world champion and X-games medallist, a showman exuding in personality, talent, and a style that just makes bike riding look like a good time. Si also spent a couple of years on the GT UK freestyle team riding in GT Air Shows during the early nineties, demoing BMX to a new crowd, before emigrating to the USA and living his BMX dream.
To help raise some much-needed funds for Si and his wife and young kids, we’ve put up for auction an exclusive GT Bicycles package: the last remaining limited-edition Gary Turner built BMX frame kits. The kit includes a made-in-the-USA 4130 Chromoly frame, forks, bars, along with a signed certificate of authenticity, GT cap, key-ring, and more – in a GT presentation box. The limited run of handmade framesets sold out in hours – and we have two available up for auction.
Help a brother out, lump some serious money on this auction, and bid big – you could win a once-in-a-lifetime GT Bicycles frame kit, AND help out a friend in need. Let’s do this.” – GT Bicycles

You can bid on both frame, fork and bar kits RIGHT HERE.

You can also donate on the GoFundMe Page!
