That was tough to watch. As someone else said, he died doing what he loved. Thats more than a lot of people can say when its there time to go.

R.I.P.

^^^i dont think so because mike aitken couldent get any and he got hert whell he was bmxing and he had to pay all of it by himself

Life insurance means your family gets money when you die, I'm pretty sure Aitken didn't die.

aitken didnt die, thank god.

and pete, he died in a regular freestyle moto-x comp. the jump wasnt even huge like the sh!t they build in the X games. he just under rotated, is all. you cant really change the basic freestyle event of moto-x or put limits on it and be like "oh hey, no more flips." The majority of the fanbase will become disinterested, and stop following it.

As for the Xgames, they're fucking stupid now. the action sports community has pretty much stopped watching it completely, and primarily watch the Dew Tour now. the only people who watch the Xgames now are people who actually WANT To see someone do a triple flip or get fucked trying.
