GT – Mason Ritter Fueler 22″ Promo

July 29, 2022

Check out the Fueler 22″ complete from GT!

GT Bicycles have released their Fueler complete in a new 22″ size for the riders out there that like having a little bigger wheels and some extra room to work with! Here’s a fresh promo featuring Mason Ritter putting the bike to work out in Pittsburgh going from trails to The Wheel Mill and street spots to show just what it’s capable of! Take a look!

“Whether you’re looking for a roomy bike to cruise or aiming to shred, you can stretch out the fun on a Fueler 22. Mason Ritter shows you how…

The Fueler 22 has the same full Cr-Mo frame, fork and handlebar build as our highest end BMX models. The 22-inch wheels allow a rider to roll faster with more stability than traditional 20-inch wheels while keeping the same playfulness you’ve come to expect from a modern BMX bike. While bigger riders love these bikes, they’re also the perfect rig for any returning rider who thinks a 20 is might be too small and a 24 is for the old dudes.

GT – Revealing A Secret Trick Machine

June 17, 2022

GT Bicycles have released their new Tate Roskelley signature Team complete bike. We’re especially stoked on this one, because it has a feature that makes it stand out from the hundreds of other complete bikes out there these days, which is the Skyway mag wheel in the front. Not to take away from the rest of the bike, but there are only a few riders that still rock that style wheel these days, and it really makes the bike stand out that they are using it on a complete bike. Hit play for this fresh promo video giving you a look at the bike, along with some riding from Tate, which is always fun to watch!

“Tate Roskelley’s riding is like none other, and so is his all-new Team complete. With a Skyway Tuff II mag wheel up front, Power Series 22mm cranks, Chromoly 4pc bars and color and graphics inspired by Tate’s personal ride, this bike will have you looking at milk crates and the world around you a little differently. Ask for Tate’s signature ride at your local GT dealer or preferred mailorder.” – GT Bicycles

Julian Molina Bumped Up To The GT Pro Team + Rumble In Richmond

June 9, 2022

This past weekend was the RADshare Rumble In Richmond, and as expected there was a big turn out of Pros and AM’s ready to throw down on the trails. During the contest, GT Bicycles surprised Julian Molina with the news that he had been bumped up to the Pro team (I honestly thought he was on the Pro team already, but I guess we were wrong). Check out this highlight video from the jam, along with footage of Julian getting the news in this new video from GT!

“Julian Molina stole the show last year at the first Rumble In Richmond. When we decided to bump him to the Pro team, we knew delivering the surprise at this years Rumble was a no-brainer. Event hosts Rad Share, are bolstering the future of BMX by building a sense of community, promoting safety, and helping to empower the next generation of riders all in the name of fun and we back that! Without further ado, here’s the Rumble In Richmond experience with GT.

GT – Albert Mercado “Utility Work”

May 6, 2022

It’s always rad seeing videos with a theme. GT Bicycles have released this new Albert Mercado where he goes to work on spots around San Diego, incorporating utility boxes into each line and setup. As always, Albert delivers with the good stuff, along with a few guest clips from the GT Team for good measure. Hit play because this is a real good watch!

“The streets of downtown San Diego are littered with electrical utility boxes of various shapes and sizes. While the average person sees nothing more than mundane green shapes, Albert Mercado sees endless potential for BMX trickery. Ground yourself for an electrifyingly creative display of street riding.
