Team Rider: Mike Fitter

Fitter throwing one of his legendary toesides at a slide jam somewhere. This dude dumps enough thane to offend greenpeace.

Fitter showed up one day with more steeze than most had tried to accumulate over entire lifetimes. He has got a wicked background in street skating, but riding a vandal hasn’t stopped him from throwing down fat kickflips. He garnishes a pandagram like a crest of honor, and upholds the age old tradition of shredding regardless of the terrain, even if its a mountain. And when you go as big as Fitter, you are bound to take some mind blowing highsides. But luckily that hasn’t stopped him, and he continues to progress at a wicked rate. His switch toesides speek for themselves. Watch out for him at your local slide jam, cause he is on a roll (no pun intended).

And if you were unaware. He is a heavy hitter.

Sources of inspiration?

I dont have any particular source of inspiration as such. I was and still am a huge Mike Benda fan, that guy kept me going for sure. I would say I mostly inspire myself to keep riding and progressing each time I step on my board. If you’re not progressing in some way, shape or form – get off your lazy butt and do something about it
