Modifications/Other/Extras:
I bend my lever and put the Tree bloody finger bolt on. I cut my bars down a tiny bit.
Other than tubes, what parts do you go through the fastest?
I guess tires.
What is one bike setup trend you were (or are) guilty of following?
I had purple proforks in the early 90s.
What is the oldest part on your bike?
Brake Lever. I usually keep those till I don’t have a choice.
Now that you’re Fit Team Captain do you feel like it’s more important for you to keep your bike looking fresh?
Haha… That’s nothing official. I’ve just been helping out with Fit as much as I can. I’ve been hyped on keeping my bike fresh ever since I started Two by Four a few years ago. When you see all the nice parts all the time you want to rock them.
So you just got back from a trip out California with Eddie Cleveland, Pat King, George Ramirez, and Jackson Ratima. How’d that trip go?
It went amazing. Pat was new to the crew so we weren’t sure how he would mesh, but the vibes were great. He’s like family already. We rode a bunch of good spots, stopped by some cool shops, and meet a ton of locals. It’s cool to get a chance to meet the riders and shop owners that help support Fit and BMX in general. Thanks guys!
Where is all the footage from that trip going to be seen?
Fit is putting out a trip DVD. I can’t wait to see all the footage. We wanted to give people something they could actually watch on their TV, and not just on the computer.
How are things going with Two By Four, I know you opened a second store in Philly and you guys took a trip down South not too long ago…
Things are good. We our working on some new things right now. The trip went amazing. It’s always good getting the crew together.

The tires don math yo.
Its no Mean Street frame, but its dope.
This guy and his bike rule.
fuck cult …cult is a peace of shit bike company with the fagit ass riders on earth like dakota and chase hawk….bitches couldnt stay with a real company
cult is a very stable upcoming new independant company,robby morales is a good guy, and hes been personally dedicated to fit and bmx for along time so to break off with joe rich to do something new but completely original is a new concept to bmx,if none of you noticed there arent many bmx riders out there right now,and with new trends were becoming old as dinosaurs! cult is reviving original with a lightweight perception. most of their frames came out in raw and i think that describes the company perfectley,RAW and original,bring back old school re invent new school,lets do it! -we8thec@yahoo.com
