Who stays and who goes...Let's go from the start... About half an hour ago Vital posted an article about Trey Jones leaving the Fit team. This was right after posting about him leaving Nike 6.0 so I was like what is Trey doing, quitting BMX? Thennn, it got big. I saw the article posted EARLIER (I missed it?) that Robbie Morales left Fit. ALONG with Chase Hawk and Dakota Roche. In case you didn't know, Robbie Morales pretty much runs Fit. Chris Moeller who owns S&M owns Fit. You knew that. S&M is like the parent company. So, apparently Robbie wanted to created a new company (within the same family of S&M) for just the younger Fit riders to move to. I suppose this was to separate the market of hardcore OG riders such as Van Homan and Brian Foster from the new breed of Dakota Roche and Chase Dehart. Apparently, this idea went sour at this point... THEN... Chase Dehart is said to have left JUST NOW. (from Vital aka BMXTMZ!!!) ![]() Chris Moeller released this statement: "From day one Robbie helped build an amazing team for FIT. I had known Mike, Van and BF for a long time but I actually never imagined they'd ride for us...Robbie did-and he made it happen. He also introduced us all to Edwin, one of the most innovative and influential riders ever. Robbie definitely has a gift for spotting the best and most stylish riders around. I called Robbie yesterday to ask him about some more shady rumors I heard at Interbike and he got frustrated and abruptly quit his job. I immediately got a call from Hawk and Dak who also quit the team. Months ago I had been approached by Robbie to start a new brand with only the younger team riders so this didn't surprise me but I was bummed to lose these two because I like them both a lot. I have no hard feelings toward any of the guys and I think everyone should do what makes them happy. So good luck boys, and new frame sponsors be aware if you need some Dak or Hawk frame gussets we have some for sale!" So, what happens to Fit now? I assume Chris Moeller has to take over Fit for now if they decide to continue it. Will Eddie Cleveland leave Fit as he did when friends of his left MOSH a few years back? Now it's like a who will go and who will stay game... and considering who's left, what will happen to FIT? (LOL, I hope Jim over at Sunday has some spots on the team open, even after he just added Gary Young!!!) Channels: BMX < previous 48 of 241 next > |
