James Jones is now doing it for GT Bicycles over in the U.K!
Here’s a bit of news and a banger of a BMX video for you! GT Bicycles have added James Jones to their line up over in the U.K! To bring the news, James went to work on Adrenaline Alley Skatepark where he unleashed his deep bag of tricks on everything that place has to offer. Check it out!
“GT just added blaster and trick machine James Jones to their UK team roster. This dude rips and we’re sure to see a lot of more him now that he’s got the wings.” – Ride BMX
“When we were looking for a park destroyer to add to the GT team here in the UK, a bunch of riders came to mind but top of that list was James Jones. Few riders can rip a park with the same power, flow, and balls-out tricks like Jonesy can. He’ll always have something big up his sleeve. If you’re running a high-air contest for example, James will probably win it with a flair. Always good times with James: I’m stoked to have one of the most fun riders on the scene on GT.” —Mark Noble, GT

Sullyvan Guanincetre is now doing it for GT Bicycles in France through Frenchys Distribution! Here’s the official word direct from GT, Frenchys, Ben Ward and Sullyvan!
Sullyvan’s welcome to GT video!
Filmed and edited by Romain Fel
“Sullyvan Guaincêtre got himself a name in 2015 during the SOSH Urban Motion when he placed 2nd in the competition against riders like Maxime Charveron, Dennis Enarson and Simone Baracco. Since then he’s confirmed his talent and is now considered as one of the best BMX Street Riders in Europe.
Sully has been riding for Frenchys-Distribution since 2015, has been riding French contests for 3 years and is now renowned for his tech riding style. His personality and riding got the attention of GT Bicycles. The US Brand has been focusing again on BMX Street riding for a few seasons now and is very involved with a team of key riders like Brian Kachinsky, Dan Conway, Rob Wise, Albert Mercado…” – GT Bicycles
“We met Sully on the GT Euro Tour while in Paris. He stood out to me amongst all the
incredibly talented locals. He wasn’t just good on the bike, but his approach to the session
along with his style made me an instant fan. When the opportunity to add him to the crew
presented itself, it was an easy yes from myself and the rest of the team. Can’t wait to get
him out with the squad!” – Ben Ward, Product Manager for GT BMX
“Frenchys Distribution is the European BMX distributor for GT Bicycles and has been distributing GT BMX for the past 10 years. Johan Poyet, Freestyle Team Manager at Frenchys Distribution, is stoked on Sully’s move to GT Bicycles”
“Sully fits greatly with GT BMX: a tech riding and a maximum of fun. He takes his riding seriously but keeps a huge part for the fun part which matches very well with GT philosophyFun is serious business. Sully surprised everybody with his edit during Sosh Urban Motion 4. He now lives in Montpellier and his riding keeps on evolving. It is always a great pleasure to witness his creativity expressed through his tech and original lines.” – Johan Poyet
“GT Bicycles is such an iconic Brand, it is an honor to ride for them. I love the Globetrotter frame which suits my riding very well and is super easy to ride. I am also very happy with GT’s positioning to push for the promotion of helmet safety to the younger riders, which is totally aligned with my position on that topic these days! Added to that a great team of great riders, I am pretty stoked to be part of GT Bicycles!” – Sullyvan Guanincetre
What happens when you take two different riders and make them trade bikes? Here’s what happened to GT’s Albert Mercado and Leandro Moreira…
When it comes to riding BMX, there’s no bike like your own. Every rider has different preferences from sizes to angles, brakes vs brakeless, bar height, seat height, tire pressure, pegs, no pegs, front load versus top load stems, etc, etc, etc. It’s rare to find two identical bikes. With that being said, every bike rides a little different and adjusting to it can be tricky. During a recent GT BMX trip, Albert Mercado and Leandro Moreira swapped bikes. Not only are both these riders styles completely different, but their setups are night and day. Here’s a look at what they were able to throw down on each others bikes after a little time to get used to it.
“It’s crazy how different someone else’s can bike feel even with subtle differences in geometry—let alone an entirely different setup style. GT’s Albert Mercado and Leandro Moreira have polar opposite bike setups—Albert with four-pegs, no brakes and a coaster and Leandro with no pegs, brakes, and a cassette. They switched bikes for an hour and the results were pretty entertaining.

Jordan Grandinetti is back and crushing it for GT BMX!
After some downtime while joining the knee club, Jordan Grandinetti is back to crushing it on his bike for GT Bicycles! Here’s his first full edit back filled with rail and ledge destruction on a ton of different spots. Although he had some time off, it doesn’t look like he lost his touch one bit.
“After a brief hiatus due to knee surgery, Jordan Grandinetti has been steadily stacking footage. With a few solid clips in the GT Bikes full-length, Seriously Fun movie, Jordy G is back to his old form and has blessed us with a part full of bangers. It looks like “The 17 Year Old Handrail Machine” is still slaying at 19.

Take a closer look at Tristen Cooper’s current GT Fueler setup!
Here’s a fresh video Bike Check with GT Bicycles‘ flow rider, Tristen Cooper and his current Fueler setup that he’s rolling around on these days! Hit play to let Tristen give you a run through of the setup, plus a few riding clips to show you how he gets down on the bike!
“Tristen Cooper is a product of that special water that must come out of the tap in the Salt Lake City area. He has a full throttle approach to everything he rides—be it dirt, park, or street. Tristen is ready to send it and his machine needs to be ready for anything. Tristen was the perfect test pilot for GT’s new Fueler frame, and he put his prototype through its paces and it held up to his beating. Tristen just put a production Fueler frame together and decked it out with some of the new parts we just released. New year, new bike!” – GT Bicycles
Watch as Dan Conway battles it out with a kinked rail for the GT “Seriously Fun” DVD…
Anyone that knows Dan Conway knows that he’s a beast and that he’s not about to let a rail get the best of him. While filming for the GT “Seriously Fun” DVD (that is now online), he had to battle it out with this kinked rail that wasn’t about to let him walk away with an easy clip. Hit play to watch Dan take a heavy beating, but get back up over and over to make sure the rail didn’t win.
“We pulled up to this school somewhere in Connecticut while on a summer-time GT trip though the East Coast. Dan eyed up the rail for a short time before announcing that he wanted to crook to ice the second stage. What followed was quite the battle as the rail is steep and obviously kinky. After a digger or two it felt like Dan had figured things out and was set to pull it next go, but not after more shitty crashes. Conway put himself through so much that I started to wonder if we’d be walking away clipless… but Dan is a warrior and put in the work it took to get it done. So Savage. This clip was originally featured in Dan’s belter of an ender section in GT’s “Seriously Fun” DVD which you can watch here.” – Ride BMX
