Here’s a new mixtape that Adidas Five Ten released that features their bike squad going to work on trails, snow, ramps, street and more. This is mostly big bike stuff, but Brad Simms has a section that starts at the 7 minute mark just after Danny Macaskill‘s section. As expected, Brad put in work out in the streets and cooked up some great clips. There’s a few you might have seen on his Instagram and a few new ones. Take a look!
“Check in with an all star line up in the latest team video from adidas Five Ten starring: Danny MacAskill, Darren Berrecloth, Vero Sandler, Martin Søderstrøm, Thomas Genon, Kenny Belaey, Brad Simms and Hans Rey.
With a little creativity there are Endless Possibilities right on your doorstep.
In the spring of 2020, countries across Europe and North America found themselves in nationwide lockdowns with restrictions imposed on national and international travel and limits on the number of people able to gather indoors and out. We all had to change the way we went about our lives.
‘Endless Possibilities’ put the creative in the hands of 8 global adidas Five Ten athletes who were sent personal handheld video cameras and still cameras to their home. The brief was simple, to document their riding first-hand, showcase what riding means to them and what they can achieve right out of their front door.
Take inspiration from the Endless Possibilities crew, share your creativity and what riding means to you with #EndlessPossibilties and #BrandOfTheBrave. From cruising the streets to your local woods, your backyard to the skatepark, with a little creativity there are endless possibilities right on your doorstep.

A bit of a special episode. I received a few calls/emails from industry folk and riders after Chris Moeller’s polarizing episode, but Brad in particular had the most to say. In the end, the only real solution was to have Brad fly out and sit down to discuss his side of the story…

Here’s some fresh sponsor news for Brad Simms we have been waiting on! Brad is now doing it for Maxxis tires! It looks like he has already started putting them to use in the snow that hit Texas. Check out his Instagram post above, and get ready because it sounds like he has a few more sponsors to announce soon!
Brad Simms off Fit Bike Co. after 9 months with the brand.
Update: Fit have deleted their post on Instagram making the announcement.
Here’s some news we didn’t expect to see this morning. Fit Bike Co. released an Instagram post this morning announcing that Brad Simms is off the team. The post which caused quite a bit of reaction was later deleted. The just of it was that it came down to a disagreement between Brad and Fit on their deal, especially after the big year Brad had in 2020 despite everything going on in the world, and ultimately they decided to part ways.
Either way, it’s definitely a bummer to see this happen, but we would imagine it won’t be long before Brad finds a new brand to ride for, and it will give Fit room to bump somebody else up to the Pro team.
What do you think about all this? Did you expect to see Brad Simms Off Fit Bike Co.? Any guesses where he might end up next? Let us know in the comments below!
