See you at Home Depot

BMX is over so you parts hoarders ain't worth nothing but to those seeking them out.

Good luck.

Sucks man - ppl love GT - btw saw you at Ray’s in the moon room last weekend that was awesome!

Bummer... GT was always a cool brand. Good luck to you, Phil!

dang GT is iconic :(

What gear do u use while riding and jumps ill start 6 what about u?

Rocky Mountain just announced they are restructuring to stave off bankruptcy.... maybe if the bikes weren't $5-8k each they may not be going in a downward spiral

KEEP it up I love this content !! And you guys come across as such good humans. Don't care what bike you ride. But any Bike brand would be fools not to pick you guys up. you unreal ambassadors !!

Pivot and ENVE should work with you. Great bikes. Great rims.

As bigger and bigger conpanies keep acauiring brands you will see more companies killed and sponsorships taken away due to the drive for profits. This is happening across all markets not just bikes. Its very sad to see brands killed off by these mega companies.

Gutted, man. You were the one to inspire me to get onto a GT (Force) a few years ago, i loved it. So with the company pausing, that's really such a shame! I hope you get things all worked out. And i hope to see more content from you in the future.

This is sad but i did see a thing about a week ago about them pausing development of new products. I felt something was up with that.

Kids today are lazy and don’t ride bikes!!!!

I'm heartbroken. I grew up building, selling, and riding these bmx's I'm 39 I owned 5 of them and still ride them and get compliments all the time GT will always be in my life regardless.

Very useful, thanks.

19:32 😳😳😳 had me puckered just watching this

excited to see what changes come but wondering where the GTbrand ends up. i remember gt bmx in the old days being the bike everyone wanted. was fun watching gt team and thought they were gaining momentum but i guess not. tough times

What track by the way

Best of luck Phil. Always have loved the content and your riding. GT was lucky to have you and hopefully they will come back but you are a talented and resilient person and will figure out a way forward. I just hope you can do so and still chase your dreams

Dude that sucks. Wish they let it continue. Have you ridden a. Transition? That would be sick if you were sponsored by them!

rad,,godspeed in your new ventures.🏁🏁🏁

IMO I'd get in Touch with Canyon. They sponsor Sam Pilgrim. I know you will make it through this one, you are way too skilled to pass up.

This is bullshit....I hope my sons bike gets to pa in time fro..cali

Of course. Large conglomerate acquires brand and shuts it down just a few years later... Absolutely gutted for the GT peeps. It's a shame.

Gt isn’t the only company. Rocky Mountain just announced today that they are filing for bankruptcy protection. But unfortunately, we may start seeing more brands announcing their struggles. However, keep up the great content Phil!!

For those of us in the business, this isn't news at all. I'm sorry that happened to you, but the old Dorel companies are always in a state of circling the proverbial drain since 1997.

Dude, sorry to hear this! But also excited to see where you end up- any brand would be lucky to have you!

Dude, we love the content. Keep it coming I’m sure plenty of bike brands will be knocking at your door in no time.

One of the main problems for me and the examples in the video is strong rotation of the pedal with the front foot. How to avoid this?

what a shame. such an iconic brand.

:O wow they ade great bikes. shame. :(

Hey Phil! I’m a long time viewer and want to thank you for all your awesome content. I’m sorry to hear about GT. I want to support you during this change. Does your Patreon work? The link was kind of not working. Thank you!

😢

Bummer Phil!!! I hope another bike brand fills that gap and I wouldn’t mind more trail building videos!!! I’m sad to see GT go, I looked up to them for decades from my BMX days and into MTB

Thanks for the video Phil

No wonder their old frame prices skyrocketed. Now we can times that by 2

It was great to see you get going with GT and I always loved their BMX bikes and the MTN bikes looked rad but never got to ride them. You do what's best for you & your family but what about switching to another company like Cannondale or other affiliated brand to the owners of GT?

This has definitely been rumored and speculated about a lot on KZbin this year.

Gary Turner (GT) sold it a loooooong time ago

Have you considered doing a bike trials on the different brands and find which one fits you that would be willing to work out a sponsorship? Seems to me like you’re an easy sell but I’m biased since I’m a fan! Either way I’m sure you’ll excel.

And now you have a ton of bikes that don't get spare parts anymore lol.

Glad I held onto the Xizang.... but a big shit show from Pon.

The first clue that made me feel uneasy was a video called is GT being replaced by Mongoose at Dick's sporting goods or something of that effect not sure what was the same video but someone had a similar idea that I have and that was perhaps the avalanche could receive a tapered headset what's a slack angle competitive for a 1x crank set the next one is probably a tall order but a cassette well anyway sad as it is ending perhaps I will not buy that other bike on sale and investigate the GT website for final inventory

My first bike was a GT Avalanche 3.0 hardtail. Very sad news. I hope you land on your feet Phil!

Someone will buy the name, its too valuable to go extinct.

RIP GT....

Good luck, Phil, your video's and riding are amazing!!!

So sorry to hear man. I wish you the best in the future, and hope GT bounces back. As passionate Mountain Biker, no one wants to see an iconic brand fail.

Phil, your approach to your bike is simiar to what some guitar players do with regard to their floor pedals. Many people use Boss pedals. For some reason, everyone owns a Boss pedal or two early on when they start playing. Then they move away from Boss because they're not super expensive and they're everywhere. After a while, many of us have realized Boss has a number of great pedals and if one fails, they're easy to replace.
