Fit bike co’s Marv is nothing to do with us officially, well he lives in the same town as me ,so i guess we are some what connected, anyway who cares heres some top 5’s from the Marv.

1998-where was ya?
Living in Newbury hanging out down the jumps and the skatepark, drinking and learning barspins. Pretty much a nerd at this point and had only been riding about a year, our Newbury riding crew was really strong and everyone loved riding jumps. Pretty much loving life to the max!
