Mikey was a perfect fit for the Road Fools-style trips, since he would destroy everything in the first five minutes of riding it with no hesitation, and no thoughts of trying to come back another day to try something. It’s over 2 1/2 minutes of solid footage from two 10-day trips… actually, it’s a bit less than that many days. Mike left Road Fools 15 after the first few days because of the birth of his son, Owen. So this was all filmed in less than two weeks, and entirely on new and unfamiliar terrain. Such a beast. -RD Special thanks to Props. Rider: Mike Aitken Edited by: Stew Johnson
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
