The Big Blue Wings of GT are going to be flying with the help of the best rims in BMX…..from Alienation. The deal will see two of the greatest riders in the world, Mike Day and Corben Sharrah running Alienation rims around the world in competition at the highest levels of BMX racing.

Corben Sharrah…..Coming off of a big win at the UCI BMX Supercross race in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa; Corben has shown himself to be one of the riders on the Elite BMX circuit to be feared as a threat in every race he enters.

Mike Day…..GT Factory Team Member, Mike Day is a legend before his time. #365 is known world wide as one of the best bike handlers ever, plus he has the winning tradition that makes him always a threat to a make his main. Also, we can’t forget that Mike is the first ever BMX Olympic Silver Medalist.

The team will be running the Deviant / Runaway combo from Alienation BMX, which is the lightest and strongest rim duo, on the BMX race scene. The Deviant is the dome shaped front rim with no brake track that is the world’s lightest production BMX racing rim.

The rear mounted Runaway is a strong double walled, welded rim that is sized just right for a ‘not too wide’ rear pro rim.

“Today’s racing landscape is littered with amazing talent, but none exactly like team GT.” said Alienation vice president Zach Taylor. “Mike Day is arguably one of the greatest riders of all time and Corben’s addition this season goes a long way towards strengthening the foundation for a lengthy racing legacy.”

Eric “Big Daddy” Rupe…..Rounding out the team sponsorship is GT Factory Team Manager, Eric Rupe who is one of the greatest pros of all time, and is a master at running a successful team with logistics and team know-how to keep the Elite riders ready to win. Rupe, who still competes regularly is enjoying a successful streak of six straight UCI BMX Cruiser World Titles, and will be battling at ABA Nationals in the U.S. in 46-50 Cruiser and 41 & Over on his 20.

Watch for the GT BMX Factory Team riders to be riding their Alienation rims to victory at ABA National events around the U.S. plus Mike and Corben, contesting at the highest levels of BMX racing at UCI BMX SX races around the world.
