GT Bicycles have released their entire “Seriously Fun” DVD online for your viewing pleasure!
A little while back each of the sections from the GT Bicycles “Seriously Fun” DVD was released online, now today we get the full DVD all in one place for your viewing pleasure! Hit that play button and take in all 21 minutes of this gem. It’s an amazing watch from start to finish!
“In early 2015, GT took to the streets of Los Angeles and Kansas City to uncover a plethora of untapped spots across these two vastly different cities. With Ben Ward, GT BMX product and team manager at the helm, the brand released two successful shorter web videos – GT in LA and Bleeding Kansas – to kick off the beginning of a new era for GT BMX.
“GT in LA and Bleeding Kansas were incredible for the brand and showed the industry what we could do as individuals and as a team. We wanted to make sure what we did next topped them,” said Ward. “After seeing both edits, the new guys on the team were eager to start working on something original; that’s when the idea of a full-length video was proposed. The crew was fired up, and they started filming and stacking their own clips.
“Then, at the end of 2016, we reviewed their footage, jampacked with newly discovered spots and never-before-seen tricks; we knew we had something great in the making, and we began to see Seriously Fun emerge.”
Seriously Fun captures GT’s good times energy capitalizing on GT’s athletes’ signature riding styles and personalities. In Seriously Fun, viewers will see how seriously the team takes their fun from coast to coast in the US to Brazil, France, Germany, the UK, Taiwan, and more.
“It’s been a long time since GT has produced a full-length video and DVD. I can’t think of a better way to pay respect to our athletes who share the same passion for BMX. Seriously Fun reflects each personality through their approach to riding and filming,” added Ward.
When looking for partners to produce the video, Ride BMX was the obvious choice. GT has been an advertising partner with the magazine for two-and-a-half years, and most of the outlet’s editorial and video staff have been instrumental in many of GT’s recent online releases.
In addition, GT selected BMX industry videographer and editor Andrew Brady to bring Seriously Fun to life. It was Brady’s overall passion and excitement for the project which made him the main man for the job.

“GT’s Jay Cowley is one smooth operator at the trails and parks, so where better to send him for his latest edit than Malaga, Spain. Silky three toboggans, cheeky manual variations and a lotta lookbacks gets the thumbs up from us.

GT Bicycles connect over on the U.K, Jay Cowley coming through with a creative new video fueled with a smoke machine and lights, with a hint of fire, at a skatepark. This is definitely a unique video with some great riding. Take a peek!
“Southern UK local and GT Bikes team rider Jay Cowley, came through with this twist on the ever popular smoke and lights video concept, throwing some LED’s, lazers and even fire into the mix. We asked Jay to tell us a little more about the whole thing…
THE LOCATION
“Location of the video edit is a Maverick built park in Tiverton, Devon UK. My local – I helped raise money and planning for.”
THE FILMER
“The man behind the camera is Paul Foster (Tempo Media). Foster being a skateboarding, BMX riding, music making rad dad is just fun and awesome to work with. We both get what we wanna do and get out of something and just have the most fun doing so. But when the time comes he gets the shots and is all over that camera.”
THE SMOKE AND LIGHTS
“So idea for this video edit, was to have some fun and make something a lil’ different but fun to watch, I’m not a rider who’s on the last tech tricks and stuff. So instead we kinda worked with style and effects.
We had a smoke machines with some different coloured smoke, Lazer lights, LED lights, building lights and someone’s great idea to use some petrol from the genny to set fire to stuff.
So all the fun stuff was supplied by my clothing and beer sponsor NEW DEVON ARMY / NEW DEVON BREWING. Jason at NDA is just a big kid! Works hard but plays ten times harder!
I told him we was going to do a video spot lit at the local park, I got a phone call from him saying “I got a Genny, lights, smoke, Lazers and coloured lights – let’s have some fun an beers and see if we can create something”. We set an evening, rocked up to the park had a ride some beers while the sun went down for it to pick up in the camera, so you could see the colour and smoke. I had to ride with just one builder’s light on at a time, so it was pretty dark and really surprised me didn’t get a visit for “the one time” (police) as we were lighting the park up with lights, smoke and on fire till near 3am in the morning.
This video won’t be for everyone as I don’t follow the latest trick combo or fashion much, I just do want I wanna and what feels good to me. Couldn’t care what’s in or out it’s FREESTYLE!
A wise man once said to me, ‘do what feels best for you and not what others want to see from you’ – I have always listened what my dad has had to say.”
THE SONG
“After phone called and texts with Paul, Jason and me about what we had and ideas I was washing dishes one evening – I’m a family man now – I heard the song on the TV, ran into the front room to see what it was and missed it, this happened a few times. Hearing the advert on TV but by the time I got to the TV it had finished, a few weeks had passed and I was putting some new stock out in my shop and J was humming it. A lil’ kid was in the shop an said, “what are you singing the ice song?” I said “Ice song?” and his mum said “sorry he means the magnum advert” – went and looked it up after that and found it was Jack White – John Ball stepper. The reason why I liked this so much was the raw rock sound, not over-worked and to perfect sound. Just felt it would work.”” – DIG BMX
Yesterday Jason Phelan dropped a video giving us a look at his new GT Bicycles setup that he’s running. At the end of the video he headed over to Prevail Skatepark for a session, but it cut off before the riding started. That’s because it was a whole other video on its own. Here’s a look at what went down at the session with Jason, Scott Hamlin, Jay Cowley, Ollie Palmer and more all throwing down… and getting severely blinded by the light on the camera.
We want to hear from you! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Always stoked to see some new Jay Cowley footage. Here’s a new BMX video from some of the sessions Jay has been getting in at a couple of the parks around Devon in the U.K! Jay brings a ton of style and a good mix of tricks making for a real good watch from start to finish. Plus, the film work on this one is clean, too. That’s always a good thing in our book. Also, is Jay riding for GT now? Noticed the logo at the end…
