Fit just posted up a new Aitken-inspired Stay Fit t-shirt, and I figured it would be a good time to relay some of the latest Mike Aitken news that I heard last week from a little Elf. Actually, a big Elf that builds dirt jumps for Dew Tour and lives in SLC.
It looks like Aitken is back on the bike and riding a bit, about to hit up the gym to get some of his muscles built up again and doing pretty well. So that's awesome news, considering he was in pretty bad shape less than a year ago. Whether or not Mike will have a full section in Fit's latest video, I can't say, but I can say that it looks like we haven't seen the last of one of BMX's true greats.
You can pick up the latest from Mike's new venture, Vigilantia, through the 5050 mailorder site.
