Mike Aitken sits down for an interview on the Unclicked Podcast!
It has finally happened! Our BMX brought Mike Aitken down to San Diego for an interview on the Unclicked Podcast. This one is one they’ve talked about doing for a while now, and it’s awesome they were able to get him on for just over 2 hours of stories and more. This is a real good listen, so get on that play button!
“MIKE AITKEN… I feel like I don’t have to say much more than that. The man who influenced a whole generation with his is effortless style. A style that set him apart from the pack, a Style that had brands fighting over him, a Style that attracted all of us to any footage that surfaced with him in it…Mikey is one of our most requested guests and thanks to Traction Coffee, we got him here on the Unclicked Podcast. Don’t let me keep you any longer, Press play!” – Our BMX
