Looks like this might turn out to be Eric Lichtenberger week on the Daily Word. Here he is gracing the new cover of Ride BMX and we couldn’t be more psyched. He has an interview in this issue filled with plenty of other bangers so make sure to pick one up.
Also, if you haven’t done so already, make sure to download his wallpaper from our latest print ad.

Tom Dugan is up to bat for Ride BMX‘s next pro Q&A. Dugan ain’t scared and you shouldn’t be either so feel free to ask him anything.
Dirt Ron has a knack for can-cans (reverse pun intended) and he fired out his fair share during our So. Cal to So. Oregon ODSY Vision. Here’s one in the hills of Jacksonville.

We have a bit of sad news today. Chase Gouin has been going through some serious medical conditions and could use a helping hand. If you’d like to donate and help out, you can PayPal some funds to chasegouinrecoveryfund@gmail.com (that donate button on the right should do the trick).
Please continue reading after the jump for the full letter about his situation from his good friend, Brandon Fenton. Below is a quick one from Chase.
BMX Friends,
This is Chase Gouin, I am writing quickly to say that the letter from Brandon Fenton is the truth of my situation, just in case some people think it’s a joke. This is a real and serious matter. Just for the record, I fully realize that i have not been an active/popular or relevant rider according to modern flatland, and I do not expect that the sport owes me anything. I am simply in need of help and hoping that some of you will be able to donate. Brandon is a long time friend of mine who has agreed to help me by reaching out to the BMX public. Also, my good friend Ryan Quinn from my hometown has set up a Paypal account and will transfer any donations into his bank and the money will be given directly to me for medical expenses only. I will be keeping all receipts so that I can prove my expenses to anyone who needs to know in the future. I thank you all for your time and consideration regarding my health problems.
Sincerely,
Chase Gouin
One of the highlights during our So. California to So. Oregon trip was taking a well deserved pit stop over at Lakehead-Lakeshore, located in the mountains of Northern California. With lush vegetation providing plenty of shade and water temperature comparable to a heated pool, it was a prime spot and the perfect escape from the ball-sweating summer heat. To top it off, we found a rope swing nestled atop a little drop into the lake.
