Los Angeles Real Street BMX Jam

February 19, 2025

Anthony “Boy” Flores celebrated his birthday in the best way possible.

It has been a little while since we’ve seen Anthony “Boy” Flores‘ name pop up, but you better believe he’s still crushing it out in the streets of Los Angeles. To celebrate his birthday, he threw a big street jam and there was a ton of riders that turned out to throw down. Here’s a look at what went down!

“Anthony “Boy” Flores was born and raised riding the streets of LA. So why not celebrate his 37th birthday hosting a jam around his local stomping grounds? We had a fun day cruising the Arts District area of DTLA and having our way at a few spots that are normally a quick bust. The day wrapped at Fletcher Bowron Square, where Boy had grills firing with free food, followed by a product toss, and then capped it all off with the premiere of the a new video from The Trip, “Tripppin’ 4K”, featuring Boy, Raul Ruiz, and Andrew Castaneda.” – Jeff Zielinski

Julian Molina “Mano Amiga”

February 14, 2025

Julian Molina’s best video part yet!

Whenever we see Julian Molina‘s name pop up, we know we’re going to be so stoked. Here’s his latest video part where he throws down on street spots galore, along with some ramps. Julian delivered with plenty of madness and continues to show he’s capable of doing it all! Take a look!

“When asked if he had any suggestions for the title of his video, Julian Molina replied, “Mano Amiga—it came to my mind while thinking a lot about all the help from the people who have given me their hand.” Always heartfelt and full of meaning, Julian truly is a one-of-a-kind human. After spending a summer and a few scattered visits to Los Angeles, with a little help from his friends, Julian ticked off some dream tricks and accomplished his greatest video part to date with Mano Amiga! Enjoy the video and keep your eyes peeled for more big news from Julian coming soon” – Jeff Zielinski

GT dropped a new Bethany Hedrick video!

Now here’s one to get stoked on. GT dropped a new Bethany Hedrick video packed with a super good mix of riding and spots where she put her deep bag of tricks to good use over the past year. Don’t pass this one up!

“Bethany Hedrick has been on the grind pushing herself for her first video part! Bethany and Jeff Z have been putting in work on this new GT BMX piece for about a year. Bethany’s bag of tricks is deep and it’s only getting deeper as she progresses and dials in her riding, If you’re not familiar with Bethany, now is your chance. Head over to the play button and enjoy” – GT

“Working with Bethany Hedrick on her first official video part has been an absolute pleasure. Witnessing her rapid progression first-hand has been nothing short of amazing. But the friendship we’ve built along the way is by far the greatest takeaway for me. As if it isn’t already totally obvious, Bethany’s BMX future is bright. It’s time to shine!” — Jeff Zielinski

CYFT highlights GT’s up and coming generation of riders.

In time, the project gained momentum and evolved into a full-length we couldn’t be more proud of. After initially premiering CYFT on OurBMX.com, we’re now releasing the individual sections here.” – GT Bicycles
