Fave Fit rider? Well, @kevinperaza picking @nightwolfslc. Who's yours? #fitbikeco 12 Nov 2026 MIKE AITKEN. PURE STYLE. Some riders just have that something you can’t teach. Mike Aitken was always one of them. The speed, the flow, the effortless style. Everything he did on a bike looked like art. One of the riders I looked up to growing up, and still one of my favorites to watch today. Nothing but respect for a true BMX legend. 📸 Fit Bike Co. @fitbikeco @fitbikeco_bikes @nightwolfslc RIDE EVERYDAY. RIDE FOR SOMETHING. #bmx #bmxlife #bmxdirt #bmxtrails #rideyourbike 10 Nov 2026 @nightwolfslc at Proving Grounds Skatepark in Pleasant Grove, Utah, back in 2003. This photo was taken by @forgash_unofficial and published by TransWorld in June of that same year🔥 #bmx 10 Nov 2026 In July 2000, Mike Aitken showed up to the Panasonic ShockWave Beach Games in Huntington Beach hoping to finish fourth. He was 17, already making a name for himself on a BMX, but he was up against guys like TJ Lavin and Cory Nastazio. He didn’t think he’d beat them. Then he landed all four jumps in the Pro Dirt final. His last move was a 360 turndown tailwhip. Mike won his first professional contest by just 11 points. First place. $1,500. And a result he hadn’t expected. I keep coming back to that part. Not the money. The chance to show up and find out what you’re capable of. In 2020, I was pretty much at a dead end in Texas. I was an electrician looking for work outside the state because I couldn’t see a way forward where I was. A company in California reached out because of my experience and offered me a two-week working interview. They put us in an Airbnb, which I’d have to pay back once I started getting paid. My family came with me for those first two weeks. We stayed up in the loft. I didn’t know if this was going to work or if I’d be heading back to Texas with nothing. I got the job. After my family left, I stayed behind, sleeping on the floor of a spare room in the owner’s Airbnb. Not for a night or two. For months, while I worked and saved enough to get an apartment so we could be together again. That opportunity changed my life. But it didn’t magically make life easy. About a year later, the company closed. I had to figure things out all over again, and that’s how I ended up starting my own business. I think about that when I read what Mike said after winning. He wasn’t expecting first. He just showed up and rode what he knew he could ride. Sometimes somebody sees something in you before you can see the way forward yourself. They give you a chance. What happens after that is up to you. And sometimes you give it everything you’ve got and things still don’t work out. Either way, you get up and try again. Just like a trick you can’t land yet. Every day, a step forward. RIDE EVERYDAY. RIDE FOR SOMETHING. #bmx #bmxlife #bmxdirt #rideyourbike #enjoylife @ridebmx @xgames @nightwolfslc @bmxactionmagazine @everydaybmx_ 30 Oct 2026 THE ART OF FLOW. There’s a split second in BMX where everything goes quiet. You’re floating between takeoff and landing. Nothing beneath you. Nothing on your mind. You’re not completely in control, yet somehow you’ve never felt more alive. I think that’s the feeling we’re all chasing. Finding that perfect line. Hitting a hip, carrying your speed through a transition, pumping into the next one, and feeling everything connect. That’s what I always loved about watching Mike Aitken. He had this way of making everything look effortless. The speed, the tables, the way he’d float through a set of trails. Nothing looked rushed or forced. It was almost like the bike was an extension of him. And now that I’m older and riding again, I think I appreciate that more than ever. I’m not always trying to learn the next trick. Sometimes I just want to find a good line, feel the bike carry me through it, and catch that little moment of weightlessness. Because somewhere between the takeoff and the landing, the rest of the world disappears. The work. The stress. The responsibilities waiting for you when you get home. For a few seconds, none of it matters. Maybe that’s why we keep coming back. Even after years away. Even when our bodies don’t move quite like they used to. We’re still chasing that same feeling we had as kids. And watching Mike ride reminds me why I fell in love with BMX in the first place. You don’t have to be the best rider in the park. You just have to find your flow. RIDE EVERYDAY. RIDE FOR SOMETHING. What’s that one line you could ride a hundred times and never get tired of? @fitbikeco @nightwolfslc @odysseybmx @digbmx @everydaybmx_ #bmx #bmxdirt #flowstate #enjoy #rideyourbike 26 Oct 2026 The @gob_invitational Transition Edition is in the books.

Others leave an impact far beyond riding. Mike Aitken managed to do both. If you grew up riding BMX in the 2000s, you already know. The speed, the flow, the effortless style. Mike could make the most difficult tricks look completely natural. For me, that entire FIT Bike Co. era was peak BMX. Mike Aitken, Van Homan, Brian Foster, Chase Hawk, Edwin DeLaRosa, and eventually Tom Dugan. Those were the guys I grew up watching, dreaming of riding like them. In 2008, a devastating crash at Posh Woods changed Mike’s life. But his story deserves to be remembered for so much more than that. Something that really stuck with me was an interview before his accident where Mike talked about wanting to stay healthy, ride trails, and simply enjoy riding. Nearly 20 years later, that’s exactly what brought me back to BMX. After almost 16 years away, I started riding again to get healthier and reconnect with something I loved. It’s a huge part of why I started Everyday BMX. Through building this brand, I’ve actually had the opportunity to interact with Mike. We’ve never met, but he’s taken the time to encourage me to follow my dreams. He didn’t have to do that. And to someone who grew up looking up to him, those few words meant more than he probably realizes. When I was younger, I admired Mike Aitken for the way he rode. Now that I’m older, I admire him just as much for the person he seems to be. That’s what makes a legend. Not just the riding, but the impact you leave on people. Mike recently started sharing his journey on YouTube. Go check out his channel through his Instagram and show him some support. Mike, thank you for the inspiration growing up and the encouragement today. Hopefully one day I’ll get to shake your hand. RIDE EVERYDAY. RIDE FOR SOMETHING. Who else remembers that era of FIT being peak BMX? #bmx #rideyourbike #bmxtrails #bmxdirt #enjoylife @odysseybmx @nightwolfslc @fitbikeco @fitbikeco_bikes @poshwoods 25 Oct 2026 BMX HISTORY | BRIAN FOSTER: THE BLUE FALCON Before becoming a BMX legend, Brian Foster was a kid from Maryland dominating the racetrack. In 1988, he won the 16 Expert main at the ABA Grand Nationals. But racing was only the beginning. Through the 1990s, Foster brought his speed, style, and bike control into dirt jumping, trails, park, and street riding, becoming one of BMX’s most respected all-around riders. When Fit Bike Co. emerged around 2000, Foster joined its original crew alongside Mike Aitken, Edwin De La Rosa, Robbie Morales, and Nate Hanson. The original F-IT video helped introduce that generation of riders to the world. In 2012, Fit premiered BF-IT: The Story of Brian Foster at Texas Toast in Austin. Filmed and edited by Stew Johnson and produced with Chris Moeller and Fit, the documentary celebrated Foster’s career. The best part? Brian had no idea his friends were making it. From racing in the 1980s to helping shape freestyle BMX, the Blue Falcon proved you didn’t have to stick to one discipline. Who remembers Brian Foster in the original F-IT? What’s your favorite Blue Falcon clip? RIDE EVERYDAY. RIDE FOR SOMETHING. 📷 Rob Dolecki / DIG BMX Photo 1: Posh Woods, 2008. Photo 2: Butcher jump, 2012.

If you grew up riding BMX in the early 2000s, you probably remember when Fit Bike Co. came onto the scene. But there’s more to the story than just the bikes. In late 1999, Robbie Morales and Chris Moeller began building Fit out of Santa Ana, California, with the backing of S&M Bikes. Robbie had come from Terrible One, where he had worked alongside Taj Mihelich and Joe Rich. He wanted to build something of his own, with reliable production and a team that represented the BMX he believed in. Chris brought the manufacturing experience and infrastructure of S&M. Robbie helped shape Fit’s identity, managed the riders, and built the team culture. And what a team it became. Mike Aitken. Brian Foster. Van Homan. Nate Hanson. Edwin De La Rosa. Justin Inman. These weren’t just names on a roster. They were some of the most influential riders of their generation, each bringing something different to BMX. Then came F-It, Fit’s first full-length video, featuring Aitken, Foster, Hanson, Edwin, Robbie, Justin Inman, Aaron Bostrom, Brian Yeagle, and Mike Cottle. Aitken’s effortless style. Foster’s legendary dirt riding. Edwin’s street influence. The personalities, the videos, the bikes. Fit helped define what BMX looked and felt like during that era. And the story didn’t stop with the original crew. Riders like Chase Hawk, Dakota Roche, and Tom Dugan became part of Fit’s history as the company continued evolving. More than 25 years later, Fit remains part of BMX culture. But for those of us who grew up during those early years, there’s something special about the original team, those early frames, and watching those videos for the first time. Who rode a Fit back in the day? What frame did you have, and who was your favorite rider? RIDE EVERYDAY.
