Shook – “Put In Werk” DVD (2007)

The full “Put In Werk” video from Shook is now online…

It’s crazy how many Shook videos there were. We’ve been posting up the videos as Ryan Howard does us all a favor by uploading them online for everyone to enjoy. The “Put In Werk” video was produced by Chad Shackelford and Will Stroud back in 2007 and features Cam Wood, Chase Dehart, Daniel Dhers, Eric Cuiper, Jack Maddock, Jarrod Allen, Jeff Kennedy, Marlon Europe, Rahmel Hoyle, Raul Ruiz, Rob Wise and Skyler Ellingson. Needless to say with a line up of riders like that, you know this is packed with some excellent riding and the the film work is definitely on point. Great watch from start to finish!

GT Bicycles “Seriously Fun” – FULL VIDEO

Leave a Comment

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 Bicycles – Rob Wise “Seriously Fun” Section

Leave a Comment

GT Bicycles have released Rob Wise’s section from “Seriously Fun” online!

We haven’t seen a ton from Rob Wise as of late, but it’s safe to say despite the lack of footage, he’s been out there crushing it. The proof is in his section from the GT Bicycles “Seriously Fun” video part that is loaded up with some big, gnarly gaps, very unique and original setups and plenty of speed. This one isn’t so much about tricks as it is about just pure beastly style. Hit play and enjoy!

“Rob Wise made a brief hiatus from BMX pro late last year, but his section from GT’s “Seriously Fun” DVD shows that Rob hasn’t slowed down one bit. Going backwards up a wall rail is complete absurdity, and that over-grind on the wire!? Rob is an savage animal on the Bike and we were stoked to have him along on the GT Taiwan trip earlier this year. Rob only films bangers!”

If you want, you can download a copy right here and GT dealers will have physical DVD’s soon as well!

“It’s here!!! GT is currently premiering their new 20-minute DVD “Seriously Fun” right here on the site for 72 hours! 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.

E-Log – GT BMX In Tiawan

Leave a Comment

A few weeks back the GT Bicycles team made a trip on over to Taiwan to spend a week and a half exploring the place, riding spots and just experiencing everything the place has to offer. There’s a fully edited video from the trip coming, but Ride BMX just dropped this raw cut with 32 minutes of footage showing what the crew got into. If you have some time to kill, this is worth a look!

“Go behind-the-scenes with the GT BMX squad on the trip of a lifetime as they descend on the small island of Taiwan, cutting through the city and applying their street trigonometry knowledge along the way. Brian Kachinsky, Rob Wise, Albert Mercado, Chase Krolicki, Jeff With Glasses, & Dan Conway spend 10 days stacking for the upcoming GT Mixtape “Seriously Fun” which debuts soon on the site. (Peep the teaser at the end of of this video).” – Ride BMX

“Markit Zero” – Full Video

Leave a Comment

The full “Markit Zero” video is now online…

Here’s one we were tipped off about that we did not expect to see online. The first full-length video from Markit, “Markit Zero” is now online for your viewing pleasure. This video originally came out back in October of 2013 and hasn’t been available online until now. Even though this video is a little over 3 years old, it’s still absolutely amazing and the riding still feels ahead of its time with so many bangers. Everything from the riding to the film work, spots and Dennis Enarson’s old car exploding to a million pieces is amazing! Hit play and enjoy this one over and over again! There’s a reason this won a NORA Cup for BMX video of the year.

“Markit is a crew of good friends who all love shredding bikes, filming clips, and going on trips together. Featuring the riding from Chad Kerley, Connor Lodes, Dennis Enarson, Mike Jonas, Geoff Slattery, Rob Wise, Ronnie Napolitan and Christian Rigal, Markit Zero is our first full length feature. Enjoy!”

Filmed and edited by Christian Rigal

Above is the original video cover that is too good not to reshare with the video!

One section not in the video above is the crash bonus section that’s been online for about a year now…

“This is by far one of the heaviest crash sections you are ever going to see! The crew took a beating for MARKIT ZERO. We had to make sure the BMX world got a behind the scenes look into what it really took to create this DVD. Get ready for over seven minutes of raw, savage falls for your viewing pleasure.

Leave a Comment

5050 BMX coming through with some gold to help you start your weekend off right! Here’s their new video featuring Rob Wise, Dave Thompson and Calvin Krey go to work on a few skateparks and spots around Las Vegas! Rob and Dave has both been pretty low key the past year or so, which makes this video even better due to the lack of footage from these guys. They might have been pretty low key, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t out crushing it like always! Hit play and take in all the goodness this one has to offer, along with a bunch of random weirdos these guys came across while out exploring the city!

“It’s cold up in Utah so Rob Wise, Dave Thompson and Calvin Krey decided to roll down to Vegas for a weekend of shredding. Rob and Dave have both been off their bikes for the last year so. It’s unbelievable how good both dues are. We linked up with Dylan Lopez and our little homie Ryan Dare whom works at 5050bmx as a sales person. Ryan had never ran pegs until this weekend. haha Good times in Vegas as always.

Thank you Dylan Lopez, Tanner Raby, Luke Hill, Ryan Dare, Rob Wise and Dave Thompson for a killer weekend!
