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.

LFS2 – Jeff With Glasses Section

August 11, 2016

The sections from LFS‘s latest full-length video, “LFS2”, keep on rolling out. Today, the crew uploaded Jeff With Glasses‘ section online for your viewing pleasure. If you don’t know by now, Jeff is an absolute grind technician and this is a good reminder of that. Hit play as Jeff puts all four of his pegs to heavy use on every rail and ledge he came across along the East Coast.

“Jeff as a person is calm, monotone, and relaxed. However, his riding is the complete opposite. 60/40s, 40/60s, crooks, gaps, it’s all in here. I think I was more scared filming him than he was of getting the clips! Put on your glasses and watch the banger section of the video!”

GT Bicycles – 2017 Complete Bikes Launch

July 18, 2016

Last weekend, GT Bicycles invited us out to New York City for their 2017 BMX Product launch and jam at 5050 Skatepark in Staten Island. As you know, we’re big nerds when it comes to product and we’ve been real stoked on what GT has been doing since it brought Ben Ward on board to re-ignite their BMX program as a whole, so there was no way we could miss out on the trip out to see what they have been working on. GT brought Brian Kachinsky, Albert Mercado, Dan Conway, Jason Phelan and Jeff With Glasses on out for the session and to get their first look at all of the bikes as well. For 2017, GT have their Team Signature Series (Brian Kachinsky, Jason Phelan and Rob Wise), Team Comp series, Team Series, Performer Series and Slammer bikes that cover a lot of ground from entry level on up to higher end bikes.

Quick Guide:
BK Signature Series
Phelan Signature Series
Wise Signature Series
Performer
Performer Pro 26″
Slammer

The Brian Kachinsky Signature Bikes are available in 3 different styles.
BK Team Signature Series
– Transparent Yellow
– BK signature GT Elevated stem
– Sealed 9-tooth freecoaster (KHE Internals)

BK Team Comp
– Transparent Copper
– Chromoly Front Triangle and Seat Stays
– GT 4-Piece Bars

BK Team
– Transparent Black
– Chromoly Front Triangle
– GT 4-Piece Bars
– GT Pool Tires

Brian Kachinsky Team Signature Series Complete

Each of the bikes feature this GT logo which is based off the sewer hole covers you can find all over the world from Brian’s hometown, Neenah, Wisconsin. You can find the sewer covers in Chicago where Brian calls home now, too.

Each of the bikes feature the GT 4-Piece bars.

Here’s a look at Brian’s signature Elevated topload stem that will be available aftermarket as well. CNC machined with beveled edges, smooth curves, a rounded back, additional machining for weight saving and engraved logos.

The new GT Team grips use the classic mushroom style with a soft rubber compound. You can find these on all the bikes in the range.

The graphics on the bike are based off the transit maps of Chicago. The seat tube features a crosswalk style design as well.

The seat also features the same style design which is a nice personal touch since Brian takes a lot of pride in Chicago where he calls home.

GT have some 2-piece cranks that can be found on the higher end bikes, which look real clean.

Brian’s Signature Series bike comes with a 9-tooth sealed freecoaster hub. The hub is based off the tried and true KHE system.

You can find GT’s classic, but modernized Pool tires on the bikes as well.

Brian’s bikes in order front to back, BK Team, BK Team Comp and BK Team Signature Series.

Believe it or not, but Brian didn’t see the final bikes in person until the event, so you could see how blown away he was when he saw months of bouncing ideas and concept designs back and forth with designer and team manager, Ben Ward, in person finally.

Overall, we were really impressed with the bikes for Brian’s line. There are a lot of details that definitely make it a signature complete beyond just a colorway or something simple we find on other signature bikes out there.

Conway, Mercado & Ludwig on GT Bicycles

May 17, 2016

Here’s some news we weren’t expecting to see this morning. If you were wondering what Dan Conway, Albert Mercado and Jeff With Glasses Ludwig were up to when there were some surprising news about them parting ways with sponsors over the past few weeks, it looks like we now have the answer. They are all now on the GT Bicycles freestyle team! Below is the full scoop! It looks like GT have been making some awesome moves.

“GT Bicycles today announced the addition of three members to its BMX Freestyle program for 2016, Dan Conway, Albert Mercado and Jeff “With Glasses” Ludwig. All are strong additions to round out a crew that includes Brian Kachinsky. “Collectively, we have done enough grinds to circle the globe a few times,” said Brian Kachinsky, GT Freestyle BMX Pro. “This is a dope crew, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the year. Each of these guys has their own unique riding style. Everyone has a good sense of humor and great attitude toward the sport of BMX.”
Dan Conway, a Philadelphia area powerhouse, has stamped his name on some of the heaviest street set-ups across the US. His work ethic, coupled with a positive attitude, gives Conway the grit needed to conquer unique street spots and hang with the GT crew. Conway’s positivity and heavy tricks will excite and rally the team to push themselves as hard as they can.

Alberto Mercado has earned his place among the legendary tradition of San Diego shredders with his style, power and finesse. Mercado brings an easy approach to riding, consistently putting out video parts that are both progressive and fun to watch. His hunger for projects that exercise his creative abilities makes him a welcome addition to the GT BMX Freestyle team.

GT rounds out the BMX Freestyle team with Jeff “With Glasses” Ludwig, the reigning East Coast Crooked Grind Champion. Hailing from Spotswood, New Jersey, the holy land of street riding, Ludwig has left his mark on the industry in a short period time by showcasing his style in impactful video parts. Ludwig’s respect for BMX aligns perfectly with the laidback, but hardworking GT freestyle vibe.

“I’m stoked to have a complete team with Brian, Dan, Al and Jeff,” said Ben Ward, GT BMX Freestyle Product and Team Manager. “We’ve been friends for a long time, and I can’t wait to get out on the road with them as part of the GT crew. It’s bound to lead to some BMX magic.”
