August 22, 2017

The Fit Bike Co. crew are back at it with a fresh F-Log for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get a little behind the scenes look at filming for their 2018 complete bikes promos where the crew had to get creative to help Tom Dugan get into the action with a jacked up wrist.

“We’re still making commercials for our 2018 line of bikes (arriving in September) and due to Dugan’s recent accident we really had to improvise. Get a behind the scenes glimpse of the video shoot for Dugan’s complete while the rest of the crew runs around with the original F-LOG cam.

Oh, and it’s BUNNYHOP not pro hop…
