Fit Bike Co. – Begin, Hango, Long and Spriet Welcome to the Pro Team

February 3, 2015

Well, here’s some news that I don’t think anyone saw coming like this! Fit Bike Co. have all been bumped Brandon Begin, Jordan Hango, Morgan Long and Justin Spriet up to the Pro team! Each of these guys have been kicking a lot of ass for quite some time and if you saw their footage in the “Holy Fit” DVD it is pretty clear as to why these guys have all been moved up! Now, check out their Welcome edit that also provides plenty of evidence as to why as well!

“Well, it’s official, Brandon Begin, Jordan Hango, Morgan Long and Justin Spriet have been bumped and the Fit Pro Team just got a little “heavier.”

Hango and Spriet’s standout sections in Holy Fit, Begin’s brand of tech/Toro street and Long’s dedication and originality are just a few reasons why the foursome have earned spots alongside our established pros.

We sent the squad to Arizona a couple weeks ago to film a “Welcome to the Team” edit and here you have it! Good dudes, good moves, good times.

Now this is awesome! The guys over at Snakebite are doing a series on the history of Canada’s Basic Bikes! I’d imagine a good number of you probably haven’t heard of the brand, but they were on it during the 90’s and produced some badass frames. Check out part one where they go through the history of their frames and the changes they had over nearly 10 years right here.

Lifestyle Ikonic – The Boro

February 3, 2015

Some of the Lifestyle Ikonic crew caught a session at their local park on what looks to be a cold, wet day in Canada! Even though the temps were low and the park had water all over it, they seemed to have no problem stacking clips! Take a look!

“We all met up at the dirt jaaaaamps for a bit and chilled em all but got bored and headed to the park. Sessions ensued while obstacles dried. Backwoods were rolled and beer was consumed. Good times were had.

The Moron Brothers

February 2, 2015

We’ve seen videos from Andy Maguire for years now, and I don’t think it ever occurred to us that he had a brother! Turns out Andy’s brother Tim is a shredder as well! Check out this split edit they just dropped filled with goodness and some music that came out before I bunch of you were even born!

“Who gave these guys a camera? I want to say this is about 16 years in the making, but maybe it’s more like 29. My brother Tim always made BMX look cool to me, and he was always the one in the group who was a step ahead of the game… First to do big gaps, first to hop 3, first to grind rails; needless to say, the man was a huge inspiration. Although we’ve both progressed tremendously over the years and our outlooks on riding have developed, nothing grounds me to the soul of BMX more than a good session with my brother. Thanks brother! Additional filming by Jordan Murdock and Reed Zirjacks, my BMX brothers.

Common Crew in Arizona

February 2, 2015

Damn this is good! DIG just dropped this video from the trip to Arizona the Common Crew took recently! These guys have been killing it for a while now and it’s clear they aren’t slowing down one big! Check out the video, then take a look at some photos from the trip here.

“California’s Common Crew sardined themselves into three cars for their first ever out of state group trip and made the journey to Arizona for some classic BMX road trip fun, catching some wild clips along the way. Francis Castro describes it perfectly; “From cramming thirteen people into two rooms meant for four, to a barrage of tinder matches, this trip was everything you would expect BMX to bring you; good times, great laughs, and memories worth talking about for a very long time. And, all of this made possible by the magic of minimum wage labor…”

Featuring: Jacob Cable, Abdullah Alkhalili, Eddie Cueller, Jamen Carr, Alec Siemon, Chris Eiland, Ethan Corriere, Julian Arteaga, Evan Corey, and Austin Aughinbaugh.
