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

Fit Bike Co. – 12 Days of Aitken: Day 7 – Sentenced To Life

December 20, 2017

The 12 Days of Aitken continues. This time around we get a look at Mike’s “Sentenced To Life” part…

This time around Chris Doyle, Kris Bennett, Matt Brian Foster and Van Homan all sit down to watch Mike Aitken‘s section from the “Sentenced To Life” DVD. None of these guys had seen the part prior to watching it for this, so getting their reaction is pretty amazing. Hit play and enjoy… You know Mike crushes it!

“Day 7 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, hones in on an unconventional pairing of Mikey and “Sentenced to Life.”

At this point, everyone was a fan of Aitken, including Dave Mirra (R.I.P.), who was heading up a video called “Sentenced to Life” filmed by Brian Purdy. Commentators Doyle and Bennett dish out some industry knowledge related to MirraCo and the quest for Mikey to leave FIT and join the team during the time the video was filmed, and his decision to stay loyal to FIT over a larger payout. BF and Van also point out that this video was filmed primarily on trips, so you know all those outrageous park clips were most likely from the first day of him riding there. And in typical Aitken fashion, all varieties of terrain are casually annihilated. That last concrete park line from start to finish is seriously incredible. -RD

Here’s a look at what happens when you try and ride a double decker bike at the Incline Club! Big Boy, Matty Cranmer, Vinny Mannino and Jared Heitzman take on the challenge.

“Our friend Mike made us a new crazy ghetto gold double bike to add to our collection! We decided to try and ride it at the skate park and things got crazy pretty quick! This bike is so scary to ride and bring it on ramps makes it 10 times scarier! Big boy did a fakie challenge, jared did a vader slide, Matty ripped his pants, and Vinny fell off the side of the ramp and Jared caught him! At the end all the guys tried to ride on it at the same time and they completely destroyed the back wheel! We had so much fun!” – Scotty Cranmer
