“Psyche, it was hot AF. Get a look into a session with Ben Silver and our new international rider, Damian Cespedes. The guys sweat it out and cover some local ground while snagging some choice clips along the way. More on that soon.” – Fit Bike Co.

Fit Bike Co. – F-Log: What The Chuck?

Leave a Comment

Fit Bike Co. coming through with a new F-Log filled with some b-roll action from a filming mission that Charles Littlejohn and Ben Silver got in last weekend. This is loaded with scraps, crashes and random footage. There’s a few solid clips in here, which means we should be in for a heavy edit when Charles’ new edit is wrapped up!

“Charles LittleJohn is currently clippin’ for a new FIT edit. He went out to film with Ben Silver (who’s back on the bike after a string of bad luck) on Sunday and had to sweat for some stuff. It isn’t always #OVER in one take… take a look at CLJ workin’ for it in this week’s F-LOG and stay tuned for the makes dropping soon.

Leave a Comment

Fit Bike Co. coming through with a new F-LOG. This time around the crew load up the van to cruise a DIY park that’s apparently been shut down, then they hit a little street and a rad abandoned pool spot. There’s a lot of cruising in the van in this one, but it’s still a real good watch. Take a look!

“We loaded up the van with an eclectic group of bikers including some Fit boys, a couple of S&M dudes and some of the homies. We took to the transition to rip a sweet DIY spot, a couple of street nuggets and one awesome pool.

Featuring: Brandon Begin, Ben Silver, Trevor Sigloch, Jibby, and the homies Chris Eiland, Eddie Cuellar and Denim Cox.

Fit Bike Co. – Plastic VS Concrete: The PVC Peg

Leave a Comment

The other day we took a look at the new Fit Bike Co. PVC Pegs, now today we get a look at Ben Silver picking up a set to help him beat a concrete ledge that he wasn’t able to take care of with his metal pegs. You won’t be able to find these at Home Depot, but they will help you grind.

“Our new PVC peg features a strong yet lightweight 4130 alloy steel core inserted into a fast-grinding, injection molded, plastic polymer sleeve. Included with each peg is a hardened steel 14mm/10mm reduction sleeve for use with a 3/8″ / 10mm axles. Unlike smaller diameter pegs that only accept some 17mm sockets, this peg accepts 17mm and 19mm sockets for installation/removal.
