Mike Aitken in F-IT

As Fit‘s first installment of their Throwback Thursday series, they decided to kick things off with Mike Aitken‘s section from their 2001 release, F-IT.

Matthias Dandois Tattoos

To say there’s an interesting collection of tattoos on Matthias Dandois‘ body is an understatement. Not only does he have a random (literally picked out of a hat) tattoo of Tom Selleck’s face on his leg but after losing a friendly bet with Aaron Ross, he now has a twitter shoutout on his foot (don’t worry kids, he’s not eligible to win the Twitter Bike).

To keep things fresh, if he gets 5,000 twitter followers by Sunday, Terry Adams’ face will be added to the collection. To make things easy, here’s the button:

Top 5

Terry Adams laces some new lines and combos in his indoor spot and tells us 5 of his most favorite things. The Matthias Dandois impression he throws in there is pretty priceless.

Here’s Terry Adams’ old bike! Kinda weird to do a bike check on an old bike, but we have been sitting on these photos for a while. This is the Bike Terry rode in Terry and Aaron, The Sequel.  This was the prototype stuff that we didn’t want to show until it was out, complete with an updated look of The Waltz frame and his new signature Hobby Bar. You can’t get this bike in Purple, but like Terry’s New bike (Bike check coming soon) it is all available in Blacker than Black. Click around the flipbook to check it out!
