The name comes from living in a place where the city parks official calls your house personaly to threaten you with FELLONY TRESPASS ARREST for riding the sk8 park you donated over $1000 at 8am. And then arresting rider/ friends for riding a ditch or anywhere near a store , public park ,or street. Yes it was that bad in Brooksville Fl. We have to street ride as hitmen. Hit it and get the f out b4 arrest. My guess is you have it so good in your area that you forgot how to scale a 12' fence with the bike on your back just to ride at 1 AM. Must be nice not to be angry, i wanted to murder these city officials who claim "I dont see how you can share with sk8boards". They took my money, ideas, help, and at the opening big city party day they told us for the first time, NO BIKES! We protested and it made them even more hateful towards bikes. SO I bought a run down building and converted it to a free sk8 park, (ghetto but nice and free) then opened a store, made some shirts (like all bmxers) then when S&m/fit offered us some frames to start up we went with the hitman design/name we had already sold 1000+ shirt to world wide. yes im pissed, bikes still cant ride where they want when they want as in the U.S. constitution: the right to happiness unless it interfers with the right of others. BMX IS MY RIGHT AND ILL BE PISSED UNTILL EVERY PARK IN USA ALlOWS BIKES AND WE ARE NOT TREATED AS A 1950s evil minority. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS! PROTEST PARKS THAT WONT ALLOW BIKES! ITS YOUR TAX DOLLARS SUPPORTING # WHEELED RACISM, bikes have been in SK8 parks since 1977. ALSO WE ARE 100 RIDER OWNED AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT PROFITS MARGINS, QUOTAS,OR ANY OF THE OTHER STUFF ALL OTHERS CARE ABOUT. NOTHING BUT HEAD ANGLES, TUBE SIZES, AND LIFE TIME LASTING FRAMES.(ive broke so many) HITMANBIKES RIDING BMX SINCE 1975BC (BEFORE CROSS BAR).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-20888550644217257462008-07-08T23:52:00.000-04:002008-07-08T23:52:00.000-04:00the thing looks killer to me , why you all always ...the thing looks killer to me , why you all always hating on new stuff? and hitman was in florida in 05, ur just now seeing them.they have a free sk8 park also, florida boys for life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-68898017432349675472008-07-01T13:34:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:34:00.000-04:00quite honestly the comments about FBM etc. were o...quite honestly the comments about FBM etc. were originally meant to be a bit light hearted but turned serious. sorry to get everyone worked up and in a defense mode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-38121646456323196902008-07-01T13:33:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:33:00.000-04:00This is not a defense of Hitman...but it is a defe...This is not a defense of Hitman...but it is a defense of FBM, Little Devil and Shadow Conspiracy.
