Fit Bike Co. – Van Homan “Fit Life” Section (2007)

Fit Bike Co. coming through with a flashback Friday we know you’ll be stoked on. They’ve uploaded Van Homan‘s section from the “Fit Life” video that was originally released back in 2007! This section is loaded with so many bangers with big drops, wild gaps, heavy grinds and so much more. It’s crazy to think this video part came out 13 years ago already!

“Times are tough. Let’s turn the dial back to easier days in 2007 and give Van Homan’s epic FIT LIFE section a watch. Can we get a VAN HOMAN WILL SAVE US?!

From South Jersey and Philadelphia, to foreign countries abroad, Van destroys every spot unfortunate enough to be in his path.” – Fit Bike Co.

Fit Bike Co. coming through with a surprise upload today with the Mike Aitken “Anthem II” section for everyone to enjoy! This goes along with a raffle that’ll benefit Mike, Posh and Catty Woods as well! Hit play and take in all the glory from one of BMX’s most stylish riders every! This is a BMX video you can have on loop and never have it get old.

More details on the fundraiser below!

“In 2008, while filming for this now legendary Anthem ii video part, Mike Aitken suffered a life-threatening crash at Posh.

He was in a coma for three weeks.

Having suffered a traumatic brain injury, complete paralysis of his right side, a broken jaw, broken eye socket and a tracheotomy, Mike’s road to recovery was a long one.

He had to learn to walk again, to swallow… to control his right side, balance, and eventually, ride his bike.

Mike and his family’s life were completely changed by this incident, and as is common with brain injuries of this magnitude, continues to face multiple challenges as a result… compromised vision, memory loss and fatigue being just a few.

Mike Aitken’s journey and recovery has been an exceptional and highly inspirational one. In an effort to show our ongoing gratitude and appreciation for everything Mike has done for BMX, we are raffling off the very bike Mike rode in Anthem ii to raise funds for both the Aitken family and Posh and Catty Woods’ insurance premiums.

Mike Aitken’s contribution to BMX is immeasurable. Let’s show him how much we appreciate the influence and sacrifice he’s made.

ENTER TO WIN HERE!
……………….
Special Thanks to Stew Johnson for the Anthem ii footage and donation of Mike’s bike to be raffled.” – Fit Bike Co.
