Notable:


Now a married man, this Utah native has become something of an enigma over the years with his influential riding style and unbelievably smooth dirt style that few riders can figure out. Many of the new school dirt jumpers try to emulate Mike's style but accept no imitations, Mike goes higher and clicks his turndowns further than anyone in the dirt scene. Mike has his 720s dialed and the transfer lines on the '05 Dirt course will be a huge advantage for this true trail rider, expect the unexpected from Mike Aitken.

Mike has style for miles. He is one of the most recognized riders within the BMX industry with his super fast tricks on the dirt course and huge 180s over anything in his way-dirt or street. Mike continues to take a lifestyle approach to his riding and has furthered the BMX rockstar cause by purchasing a 1979 Firebird in 2003.

At 18, Mike has already etched a place for himself as one of Dirt Jumping's most stylish riders. He has trails style, flows from jump to jump effortlessly, and contorts his body in very esthetically pleasing ways. He rides for the newly founded Fit Bike Co.


Quote:
"Mike claims there are three ingredients to success in BMX: "Keep it simple and have fun. Don't get too stressed about sponsors. Live life and ride your bike.""
"It's definitely weird riding with all the guys I looked up to growing up. It's super fun getting to know them all because they are all really cool guys and they all help me out. "
