Here's a sweet way to help the Athlete Recovery Fund:

Booking travel?  Wouldn't you rather send the commission from your travel booking to a non profit organization instead of some corporate online booking company? Book all travel and more at www.ytbtravel.com/arf and go to www.athleterecoveryfund.com to see who you will be helping!  Prices are often better than most online booking companies to you and the commission from your trip goes to ARF!

I've seen this trick done down rails plenty of times, but this is the first time I've seen it up one. Christian Rigal double pegs to icepick UP a kinked rail! Also, Christian is riding a Volume frame. If you recall, he recently parted ways with mankind. Photo courtesy of Demolition.

Dennis Enarson has been hanging out on the East Coast for a few weeks and recently stopped by the Richard Petty Driving Experience to shred the course. Photo courtesy of Haro.

This is going to be NUTS! Dave Mirra is hosting an invite-only jam at his private warehouse and the winner is going to drive away in a brand new Subaru WRX!

Van Homan recently issued this statement on the changes at Fit:

“I became part of the Fit family in 2002 because I was excited to get away from the corporate BMX sponsorship world, where I felt that the bottom line and contest results seemed to be their number one priority. I was excited to work with Robbie Morales, Chris Moeller and the Fit team which included and still consists of Mike Aitken, Brian Foster, Justin Inman and Edwin Delarosa. A lot of smaller companies were having problems getting American made frames manufactured at the time. But with Chris Moeller/S&M providing the machine shop and the know how to design and produce quality products, it seemed like a fool proof plan.

Over the past 8 years, I, along with many others, have helped build Fit into what it is today. Fit is more then one person. Although Rob-o, Moeller, Mike Aitken and the rest of the team have been key players in the growth of Fit, it never could have been what it is today without people like George Ramirez packing boxes, Timmy Ball running the machine shop, Nick Benson heading up the sales force, Neal Wood in product design and the insane number of other contributors most of whom are fellow riders. Fit truly is a family and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of it.

Chris and Robbie have had their differences in the past but as of recently it started to become clear that this time there were going to be some major changes. I have to admit this transition has been hard on me. I have looked up to both parties involved on a number of levels since I was a kid. It feels something like being a 12 year old kid caught in the middle of his parents divorce. All this may sound a bit dramatic and maybe it is but Fit is more then just a job or a sponsor to me.

Fit is something I’ve spent 1/3 or my life being a part of and something I will continue to be a part of and take pride in. I understand that Robbie and the other team riders felt they needed to move on. I respect their decisions and honestly wish them the best in their new ventures. However, don’t let their actions discount what Fit is and stands for.

Fit is a rider owned company that continues to make quality products, sponsor events and supports a number of riders as both sponsored pros and employees. Fit grew into what it is because they do things right and for the right reason, that’s not going to change. I am excited about the future of Fit. I feel like this whole situation has already brought me closer to some of the other team riders. We have great ideas moving forward and are collectively going to work hard to continue kicking ass.

Van Homan “Still Fit!”

Great news - Chris Doyle is officially back on his bike! His ankle is not 100% yet, but he already doing footjams and hitting the road according to Kink.
