Fit Bike Co. – Doing Fit Since 2000

August 14, 2019

Fit Bike Co. will be celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2020 and there has never been a better time to take a look back at the incredible history they have had with their team riders. This video will take so many riders way back watching this, getting a look at some serious fire from the OG team all the way up to the current line up. A lot has changed over the years, but Fit have continued to keep the party going strong. Congratulations to Fit on this huge milestone! Hit play because this is a definite must see!

“Y2K. Some surmised the world was about to end, but we were just getting started.

When Mike Aitken, Brian Foster and Van Homan left their respective high-profile programs to join FITBIKECO. — a fledgling brand spawned by S&M Bikes — they became part of an enigma… an absurdly talented team of riders atop the the world’s most-trusted bikes.

Next came the addition of underground trail legend Justin Inman, followed by up-and-coming street sensei like Edwin de la Rosa and Tom White and suddenly we had assembled what many would consider the most-stacked squad in BMX history.

With a plethora of incredibly influential riders on our roster in the two decades since (Chase Hawk, Dakota Roche, Eddie Cleveland, Shawn McIntosh and Brandon Begin) and a hard-earned reputation for designing and delivering the best bikes in the business year after year, we’re paying homage to that history in our 2020 bike line.

If you’ve been along for the ride, you will no doubt recognize some of the brand’s most classic colorways and graphics. If you are just joining us, we’re sure our throwback aesthetic will feel as fresh today as it did the first time around.

Today Tom Dugan leads a legion of bikers like Ethan Corriere, Justin Spriet, Jordan Hango, Matt Nordstrom, Morgan Long, Austin Augie, Yumi Tskuda and Charles LittleJohn doing it for Fit. And 20 Years in, guys like Mike Aitken, Brian Foster and Van Homan are still holding it down for us too.

We compiled these clips to celebrate everything FITBIKECO. is, has been and will be, and to say thank everyone who has ever repped FIT. #STAYFIT #STILLFIT #DOINGFITSINCE2000

August 14, 2019

GT Bicycles hit us with some news this morning that Jeff Z. has been named the new Team Manager for the GT BMX Freestyle program! As many of you probably noticed over the past few years that Jeff has been very involved with the brand tagging along on trips and shooting photos for the team, product and brand as a whole, so this was a natural progression that makes a ton of sense. Ben Ward has been juggling the team, along with the whole BMX product line and more, so we can only imagine how good things will be with Jeff and Ben working together to keep growing the GT BMX program. Below is the official press release to bring the news!
