Photo of the Day
Class is in, and Professor Bernard Kerr is teaching us how to get properly sideways.
Fun Fact: When he’s not roasting berms or throwing whips, Bernard moonlights as a pilot.
Yep, the guy sends it in the sky too. Rumor has it, his landings are just as stylish as his touch downs in Hardline. Let’s just hope none of them turn out like his guinea pig crash.

Got 7 Minutes? Time to Buckle Up!
There’s been so much great content recently that we almost forgot to share Dylan Stark’s 2024 highlight reel.
Shame on us, because this one’s got more massive hits than your favorite 90s playlist.
Dylan’s out here redefining what “send it” means—big airs, big tricks, and enough stoke to power a small city. If you love the Send It culture (and who doesn’t?), this one’s a must-watch.

History Lesson - GT Bikes
GT Bikes has been making waves in the media lately, and not the good kind—more like a case of “endos on a rocky descent.” It’s tough to watch a brand as legendary as GT hit some rough terrain. But instead of dwelling on the bails, we’re here to talk about the stuff that made them legendary in the first place.
GT Bikes was born in 1972 when Gary Turner, a welding wizard, built one of the first BMX race frames for his son. Why? Because nothing says “I love you” like crafting a bike that can survive jumps your kid probably shouldn’t be doing. Turner's design was groundbreaking—stronger and lighter than anything else on the track. Word spread faster than a kid on a sugar rush, and soon he teamed up with Richard Long, a bike shop owner, to officially launch GT Bicycles in 1979.
GT quickly became the cool kid on the BMX block, but they weren’t content to stop there. By the late '80s, they set their sights on mountain biking, bringing their signature flair and “hold my beer” attitude to the trails. In 1991, the Zaskar was born—a bike so tough and versatile it became the only MTB to win both a downhill and a cross-country championship. Yeah, it basically pulled off the cycling equivalent of winning a drag race and a marathon with the same vehicle.
GT’s triple triangle frame design wasn’t just about looking cool (though it does); it delivered strength, stiffness, and style. It also made everyone ask, “Wait, is that broken, or is it supposed to look like that?” Meanwhile, their riders were busy racking up wins, with Brian Lopes dominating dual slalom and Nico Vouilloz proving that downhill racing could be an art form if you’re fast enough.
The brand didn’t just stop at winning—it went global. In 1996, GT supplied bikes for the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team, a huge deal for mountain biking’s Olympic debut. Somewhere, Gary Turner probably smiled and thought, “Yeah, we did that.” And then there was the GT Lobo—one of the first carbon downhill bikes, so ahead of its time it might as well have come with a “handle with care, it’s the future” sticker.
Today, GT continues to make bikes that beg to be ridden hard and fast. Whether it’s sending it on a Fury, racing XC on a Zaskar, or pulling off some sketchy backyard stunts, GT proves it’s not just a bike company—it’s a living legend.
