Ben Lewis OFF Fit Bike Co.

March 1, 2017

Well… Here’s some news we DID NOT expect to see today. Ben Lewis has announced that he has decided to part ways with Fit Bike Co. after 11 years on their team! Ben cited “creative differences” in his reasoning. We’re not quite sure what all went down, but it was enough for Ben to decide to leave the team. It’s pretty crazy to think about since Ben has been apart of the Fit Bike Co. team for so long.

Even though Ben has just left the Fit team, we can only imagine it won’t be long before Ben finds himself a new home. We could see Federal Bikes picking him up maybe? Anyone care to take a guess at who he might ride for next? Let us know in the comments below…

“After 11 years riding for Fit today I announce we are parting ways due to creative differences. Thanks to everyone involved for the good times!”

Substance In The City – Episode 6: Malaga

March 1, 2017

The Substance BMX crew are back with another round of their “Substance In The City” series. This time around it looks like the crew decided to take a little trip south to Malaga, Spain to take in some sunshine, spots and the amazing skateparks the city has. Here is a raw cut of footage they collected during their stay. It sounds like we’ll be getting a proper edit out of this trip, so that is bound to kick ass since this footage is solid and we would imagine they saved the good stuff for that.

“When we were out in Malagashire we made sure to use on of the days to film a special Substance In The City. From the apartment, to a quick ride street then on to Fuengirola skatepark followed by a nice walk up the castle.

Look out for Substance – Malagashire coming soon!“
