GT Bicycles “Seriously Fun” – FULL VIDEO

January 2, 2018

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.

The video is amazing, from Brian Kachinsky‘s BANGER opening section, to the sleeper Rob Wise section, grind technician Jeff with Glasses‘ part, Albert Mercado‘s light-hearted and uber-creative section, or the savage Dan Conway‘s HEATER of an ender. There are also appearances from the rest of the team like a short but sweet section from Jason Phelan, and a mix from the AM and flow crew. The video has feel-good vibes throughout and some seriously insane riding. High-speed gaps, gap to rails, huge/tall rails and hubbas, unique but gnarly setups, creative/tech jibs, spot use, crusty spots, Cali spots, this is GT BMX in 2017 and it’s pretty damn awesome.

March 15, 2017

Want to help Jeff With Glasses out with a college project he’s working on? It’s really easy actually. If you’re in the United States, hit this SURVEY and answer a few quick questions about the frame you ride, and what frame you would choose to ride if you were to buy another. I took the survey and it literally took about a minute to complete! Really easy and it’ll be really interesting to see the results once it’s all done! Better yet, you could WIN A $100 VISA GIFT CARD for doing this! Get more details below!

“Is there a common geographical relationship between BMX riders and their frame manufacturer? Are BMX riders buying from their local brand? A study is being conducted by Jeff (With Glasses) Ludwig at the College of Science and Mathematics at Montclair State University to determine how connected we are as BMX riders to our local frame brands. The information that you provide will contribute to a dataset that will be utilized in the study. Participants will also be given the chance to be entered in a randomized drawing for $100 VISA gift card. Two winners will be selected. The survey has a total of 10 questions and asks for your Instagram handle or email address for the contest. Your information will not be distributed or sold to anyone.
