Animal is putting up two of their sample hats that never made it to production to help out Mike Aitken and his family. The samples look pretty sick and it’s so rad to see BMX come together to help, with all the dontations, jams, and auctions, it really shows how much people care!
Stew Johnson sent this Aitken shirt ad through. It’s got a bunch of your favorite riders sporting the Aitken shirt, and has a list of all the fine spots where you can pick one up. Click below.
All proceeds go to the Mike Aitken recovery fund.
If you live in the So. Cal area, check out some jams below that are going on this weekend.
Thanks to Dylan Ambrose for the flyers.
I just got back from Utah, where Jim Bauer and I went to hit up the Mike Aitken Tanner jam to help support the cause.
The 50/50 crew and Tanner locals did an unreal job putting on the jam, and decorating the trails with pumpkins and Halloween stuff. I can only imagine how long it took to lug all those pumpkins down to where the trails are. Good job guys!!! Riders showed up and shredded in costumes too. Check out Skier J’s Flickr page for a few pics.
If you are able to donate and help Mike, please visit the 50/50 site.
Over the passed few months, I had been working on a little shoe project with DVS. We initially started working on concepts using DVS’s Carson shoe (a nice standard shape with a vulcanized sole, but have decided to move to a different model). In the design process I received two sample from DVS, and we will be auctioning one of them off to help raise money for Mike Aitken and his family.
The shoe is a one-off sample, so it’s a size 9. Check out the auction here. The shoe is starting at $40, so get your bid on and help a fellow BMXer!
Click here for the auction and check out a bunch of photos of the shoe after the jump.
