Here’s Terry riding in the Diag at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Electronical: Mike Aitken
I suppose it’d be safe to call this a bit of an Aitken week on our Daily Word. Two signature part updates and now his section from Electronical. Click Play and enjoy.
In other Aitken and team news, Mikey and Chase are both in the top 5 nominees in this year’s Nora Cup for best dirt rider. Chase is also in the running for Best ramp rider, along side Gary Young, and Terry Adams is in the mix for Flatland. If there was a category for best crankslides, JC would most likely take up all 5 top nomination slots. Click here for proof.

Vital’s Favorite Dirt Rider
Vital BMX had a recent poll asking its members who their favorite dirt rider was and Mike Aitken not only took the title, but he also had more than twice the number of votes than anybody else! Congratulations Mikey!!!!

The Electronical uploads have been MIA lately so here’s another one to kick things back up. This is the slow-mo montage featuring our riders and friends.
Chase Gouin in 2004
Chase Gouin interview and photos from 2004, by Jared Souney
Jared Souney just digitized a hefty 10,000 word interview with Chase Gouin. The interview touches on numerous topics and Chase’s answers were definitely in depth. It’s entirety never made it to print but thanks to Jared, you can now check out the full interview online. Grab a comfy chair, click the photo above and read away.
Tom Blyth!
Joe Cox put up this edit a few days ago of one of our UK riders, Tom Blyth. Tom may not be a fan of web videos but I’m sure any rider can at least appreciate the riding that’s going on in this one.
Taj interviews ARF
The Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF) continues to be a generous help to numerous professional athletes who have found themselves under the gun of piling medical bills. Their list includes the likes of many talented BMX riders such as Mike Aitken, Stephen Murray, Jimmy Levan and recently, Taj Mihelich.
To help spread the word about their ’cause, Taj decided to interview ARF’s insurance consultant, Amanda Savage. She helped Taj take a bill that was over 40K and dwindle it down to $6700! Read the interview.
Aaron Ross Contest!
UPDATE: The contest is over now! Thanks to everyone who participated. We’ll be going over all the entries and we’ll let you know when we pick out a winner!
We’re working on a new signature part for Aaron Ross and he wants you to be a part of it. The rules for this contest are simple; write a phrase using 190 characters or less and the phrase that Aaron likes the most, wins the signature part when it goes into production!

Kyle Hart has a bike check up at RideBMX.com. The product list is a little wacky but that paint job he’s rockin’ is looking good.
Kyle’s of the 3-peg persuasion and out of curiosity, how many pegs are you guys running these days? Leave your peg count in the comments.

The man behind G-Sport; Mr. George French, shredding good and proper like it’s 1993.
