Fit Bike Co. – 12 Days of Aitken: Day 8 – Fit Life

December 21, 2017

The 12 Days of Mike Aitken continues! This time around Brian Foster and Van Homan watch Mikey’s “Fit Life” part…

Fit Bike Co. dropped the 8th day of the 12 Days of Mike Aitken and this time we get some perspective from Brian Foster and Van Homan on Mike’s “Fit Life” part that really showed Mikey’s ability to destroy street spots and random spots like water parks! Hit play!

“With Day 8 in our ‘Twelve days of Aitken,’ which is a retrospective look at Mike Aitken’s BMX career as seen through the eyes of some of those who know him best via a selection of his hugely influential video parts, we focus on “FIT Life”, which was released in 2007.

Six years after it’s inception, FIT was well-established, and Mikey was at the upper echelon of FIT’s well-assembled dream team of this era. In “FIT Life”, Mike’s part took on a more street-focused tone, and his display of power, speed and style had reached a pinnacle, as he continued to push the boundaries of his riding. Fellow teammates and legends Brian Foster and Van Homan provide some entertaining commentary about peg-less Mike, bro-cam footage, and the freecoaster generation. -RD

Unit 23 Skatepark – Jingle Buels Jam 2017

December 21, 2017

Check out what went down at the Jingle Buels Jam at Unit 23 Skatepark in Glasgow!

Whenever Unit 23 Skatepark throws a jam, you know it’s going to be a wild one! Here’s some highlights from the Jingle Buels Jam that went down the other weekend. As expected, it was a packed house and a ton of great riding went down from locals to the Pros like Kriss Kyle. Hit play and take it all in!

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen a jam at our local Unit 23 skatepark in Glasgow, Scotland but Chaz Mailey and the crew there thought it was about time to get everyone together again. The invites were sent, Bucky put on ice and the big bowl in Hall 1 was the venue. Sit back and enjoy a whole load of roasting from the likes of Kriss Kyle, Chaz and Connor Mailey, young Kieran Reilly and more.

“Having not put on a BMX event at Unit23 for a minute or two, we decided to have a bowl jam to end the year. What started as a little ‘friends only’ bowl session, soon turned into a bit of a jam, with speakers, flyers, prizes and Bucky. It’s cool to see the BMX world come together and make things like this happen, even north of the north. We’d like to thank our sponsors for helping us put this little jam together, BSD, Source, DIG, Endless & Seventies. A special thanks goes out to Jimmy’s Iced Coffee for being so down to help out, and a massive thanks to everyone that showed up and made it such a rad time! Here’s to next year! Here we go.” – Chaz Mailey / Unit 23

Eclat BMX – Sean Burns “Socialites” Preludes

December 20, 2017

Get a behind the scenes look at what Sean Burns went through trying to get a clip for the Eclat “Socialites” video…

Yesterday we got some insight from Ty Morrow on what it took to get one of his clips for the Eclat “Socialites” video, now today we get a look at a battle Sean Burns went through. You win some and you lose some!

“When you ride the way Sean Burns does, you don’t want things to take a lot of tries. For Burns, it’s typically do or die. In a rare instance while in San Antonio on Eclat Socialites trip, Sean came across a feeble-to-wallride setup that didn’t want to come easy for him. Sean knows when to choose his battles and he managed to save himself for some much bigger victories that you’ll see when Eclat Socialites drops this Friday, Dec 22. ” – Ride BMX

Filmed and edited by Peter Adam

“A DIG Magazine caption once read, ‘watching Geoff Slattery makes my eyes watery!’, and how right it was. His section in ‘This Is United’ back in 2010 opened up with a massive bang (quite literally) and he then went on to grace our eyes with fast, creative and often downright scary riding. Well time goes on but nothing much changes when it comes to Geoff’s honors degree in bike control as you can now witness for yourself via this 48 hour online premiere of his new ‘Still United’ section. Enjoy the next five minutes and have those hankies ready. Incidentally, has anyone else noticed that Slattery is an anagram for the words ‘art’ and ‘style’…” ” – DIG
