Van Homan Speaks On The Fit Break-up.

Van Homan has been very quiet since the Fit break up that rocked the world (here, here and here). But he just sent over a statement about the whole situation, clarifying what his opinion is on everything. So check that after the jump, and in case you want to marvel at some great riding on this slow day, here are 5 Van Homan videos you should watch as well:

I became part of the Fit family in 2002 because I was excited to get away from the corporate BMX sponsorship world, where I felt that the bottom line and contest results seemed to be their number one priority. I was excited to work with Robbie Morales, Chris Moeller and the Fit team which included and still consists of Mike Aitken, Brian Foster, Justin Inman and Edwin Delarosa. A lot of smaller companies were having problems getting American made frames manufactured at the time. But with Chris Moeller/S&M providing the machine shop and the know how to design and produce quality products, it seemed like a fool proof plan.
Over the past 8 years, I, along with many others, have helped build Fit into what it is today. Fit is more then one person. Although Robo, Moeller, Mike Aitken and the rest of the team have been key players in the growth of Fit, it never could have been what it is today without people like George Ramirez packing boxes, Timmy Ball running the machine shop, Nick Benson heading up the sales force, Neal Wood in product design and the insane number of other contributors most of whom are fellow riders. Fit truly is a family and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of it.
Chris and Robbie have had their differences in the past but as of recently it started to become clear that this time there were going to be some major changes. I have to admit this transition has been hard on me. I have looked up to both parties involved on a number of levels since I was a kid. It feels something like being a 12 year old kid caught in the middle of his parents divorce. All this may sound a bit dramatic and maybe it is but Fit is more then just a job or a sponsor to me.
Fit is something I’ve spent 1/3 or my life being a part of and something I will continue to be a part of and take pride in. I understand that Robbie and the other team riders felt they needed to move on. I respect their decisions and honestly wish them the best in their new ventures. However, don’t let their actions discount what Fit is and stands for.
Fit is a rider owned company that continues to make quality products, sponsor events and supports a number of riders as both sponsored pros and employees. Fit grew into what it is because they do things right and for the right reason, that’s not going to change. I am excited about the future of Fit. I feel like this whole situation has already brought me closer to some of the other team riders. We have great ideas moving forward and are collectively going to work hard to continue kicking ass.

fit sucks dick anyway. only new faggot shits still like thier new parts fit is the scum of bmx
You’re dumb as shit.
do you ride colony and profile parts lol
New faggot shits? What asshole did you crawl out of? Go to school and stop polluting the gene pool.
Kinda sad cause the team split up. It was a really solid and magnificent crew. Too bad
And it’s officially cool to like Fit again.
yes!
it’s a shame hawk is leaving, but you have to be pretty thick to buy anything designed by that lad anyway
you have to admit, stay cult is a super catchy slogan…
why hate on Robbo or chris i dont expect any of you know them.
oh shit yeah, Cult. Shit name for a brand. GAY
ide like to see you think of something better faggot
i have so much respect for this guy
chase d ,dakota and hawk proabily didnt want to leave Fit , robbo kinda told them that they owed it to him seeing he made them . I think Fit would still have been popular without robbo in the mix . I mean the team is made up of very influential riders . such as Mike aitken & brian foster (trail master) Edwin Delarosa and Van Homan street legends , Brian foster aswell as eddie cleveland which started the whole low seat big bars mania.
how do you know about what robbie said to any of the team members?
when is someone gonna sack up an say homans wife is hideous
your an immature tool, why say something like that…..dont be sad cause nobody but your momma ever loved you and you have to talk shit on pros wives on the internet
he thinks she is hot and i guess thats all that matters. in all honesty, this is bike riding. who really gives a fuck about half of a team leaving? does it directly affect you? nope. nobody seems to make fun of your idol dakota roache for looking like a fucking hobbit, so why diss on van’s wife? deal with it pussies.
I think she’s so hot for some reason. No offense to the great one.
just because she doesn’t look like one of the whores in your magazines, doesn’t mean she’s hideous.
adam. you like underage girls. your opinion does not count.
Van’s wife is bangin!
hell id stick my P in her V.. that shit has to be so beat up though, it’s been Homanated. Van did a ballsack to hopover double pen on her ass. shit was nutty
HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA oh god that was the best comment in bmx blog history.
How did adam pick this photo to post? He likes to put people out there to get judged in the comments. Then he’ll ring in and say something to cover his ass. You know damn well this blog is frequented by asshole kids and you think it’s funny to stir up shit up any way possible. You are an insincere cunt, even though you try to cover it up whenever you can. I’m guessing it is bitterness from being picked on when you were younger.
Be a decent human and leave peoples loved ones out of this pissing gallery. You should know your audience as well as anyone, so this type of shit really shows your character to anyone paying attention.
van is going to be the nextTM.
VAN THE MAN HOMAN… FIT IS BACK TO THE OG’s IT STARTED WITH…….

Deco.
VAN HOMAN FTW!!!!
yoooooo stay van!
pretty much every comment on here was posted by van or robbie – well, politics DO matter fk it stay shit
If Fit is “rider owned”, who owns it? Moeller? I’m confused, I always thought that Robbie owned it. How do you quit something you own? Sell it?
yea dude, moeller owns it. why is this concept still blowing peoples minds?
“How do you quit something you own?” – get your own word, son and stop biting off of PP on the Big Big BMX show. Have an opinion of your own.
I used to love fit I just hate how they are turning into this huge company.. I liked when there were only a few frames, back in the aitken S2 frame days.. The products are still good but I don’t like how they are producing all these parts, look at aitken he already has odyssey as a parts sponsor.. I think it conflicts with the riders. Also I think Rob-o could have came up with a better name, cult? Seriously that’s what fit was turning into and it’s funny he named his new company is called it. Maybe Fit will get better, I also remember Rob-o doing some dumb fucking LRG collabo ad with Fit shit was so gay!
Didnt catch that episode. Don’t assume so quick next time ya dumbass, there’s my opinion.
go ride your bike bunch of pussy
yeah… your all gay.
van is one of the best riders every. but mike is the one that should be team manager after every thing he has been though and is the BEST rider out there right know.
