Jack Elkins – Lost and Found

September 23, 2019

It’s pretty crazy to think how fast life can change. Back in 2015 Jack Elkins name was popping up pretty frequently, he even had a full section in the Fit Bike Co. “Holy Fit” DVD, then he just disappeared. Based on the description of this video, it sounds like he got a really sweet job and riding ended up taking a back burner for a while. Anton Ayres was sitting on a bunch of footage that needed a home, so he put together this edit filled with clips of Jack for everyone’s viewing pleasure! Although this footage is a few years old, it’s still real good, so take a peek! It sounds like Jack has been getting back on his bike lately, so hopefully that means we’ll be seeing another video from him in the future!

““So i was on my laptop recently and rediscovered an edit that jack and i started working on 4 and a half years ago that we never got around to finishing, jack became a dolphin trainer at seaworld so it was hard to find time to get out with the camera and get it finished, luckily i had other clips laying around that never made it into other projects, so i used them to fill in the blank spots on this one, jack has been back on the bike lately so hopefully will start again on a new one soon and not take 4 and a half years to finish it this time lol, hope u enjoy.” — Anton Ayres

“F*ck I’m Thirsty” A Brisbane Trip

December 26, 2015

It has been a while since John Young has released a new BMX video, but damn are we stoked to see this pop up today! Check out this video John put together from a trip to Brisbane he took with a couple of familiar faces recently where they tamed snakes, caught sessions at skateparks, cruised street spots and had a good time! This is a great watch from start to finish (minus the big NOPE on the snake at the beginning). Hit play!

“Last September a bunch of us took a week off and headed up to Brisbane to stay at Cody, Damo & Wilton’s place and sample some local treats. Fun was had, sponsors lost and no fucks were given. This video is for everyone that’s in it, and anyone that enjoys it.

Review: “Holy Fit”

October 10, 2014

IMG_1228_600x

In this day and age, thanks to the advancement of technology we are constantly flooded with new videos from around the world all day, every day. The concept of a web video has a lot of different meanings and obviously a lot of quality differences between total shit and “why isn’t this on DVD?”… Every year, we see fewer and fewer DVD’s released due to many factors, most of which come down to money and the reach a video has as a hard copy versus being released online. Despite the cost effectiveness and the simplicity of releasing a video online, there is still a clear reason why DVD’s are being produced, and that’s because the quality is far beyond something that deserves being watched for a few days before it is quickly buried and forgotten in fast moving river of online content.
We have been hearing about Fit Bike Co.‘s 4th DVD release, “Holy Fit”, for quite a while now and we were excited for a lot of reasons about the video being released. Once we saw the final product, it was clear that this video wasn’t just another video project that costs had to be cut to make happen. Let’s talk about this for a little bit…

JackElkins-switch180
All photos and captions by Eddie Welsh

When it comes to Australian street riders Jack Elkins is at the top of the list (hang-5 barspin in the middle of a line!). Seeing him ride in person definitely didn’t disappoint. I got lucky enough to shoot this hefty switch 180 with him while he was on a Fit Bikes Texas to Nevada trip earlier this year.
