As I type this, there’s a large fluorescent orange shipping container getting unloaded in the back. Expect photos and such after they’ve been inspected. Any guesses on what’s inside?

It’s that time of the year again and this time, the festivities will be June 6th, 2009 in Arcadia, CA. If you live near the area or have some plane tickets handy, make sure to drop by. Bdubbs has some great classics that he’ll be bringing to the show. Read more for the full flyer and a video real of last year’s event. Visit OS-BMX.com and Old School BMX Society for a ride in the Delorean.
Jim just put up a lot of great things on eBay to auction off and benefit Mike Vincent. Pictured above is just a small sample of what’s available. Head over to eBay to check it out.
Here’s a bike check featuring Mike Ardelean’s Verde. Some of the parts he’s running include the JCPC (now in full production), Taper Hex Nipples, Odyssey Race spokes and more. Click around the flipbook for more info.
Along with the bike check, we also have a quick blurb from Mike:
Well I’ve been pretty much living the good life in Venice. If people want to know what I’ve been up to, they can check out my calendar.
Here’s another pic of Ardelean’s bike, not in a bush.
Here’s another @theaaronross wallpaper download. If you’d like to see it in its full glory, pick up issue #127 of Ride UK. It’s the issue with the grizz air on the cover.
Chase Gouin’s part in Electronical is located in the bonus DVD so a lot of people may have missed it. Now, through the powers of the internet, you can watch it above.
Chase also has a Flatware frame in the works and if this 2008 bike check is any indication of how it’s going to turn out, you know it’s going to be one of the most dialed and thought out frames ever created. Also, while trying to hunt down that bike check, I came across this 2005 interview of Chase at BMX Freestyler. Though it’s over 3 years old, it still stands as a fascinating read.
EDIT: I accidentally put up the wrong link for the interview. The right one is up now.
I was trying to find a photo of a lumberjack’s axe and came across the one you see above. Available now in fluorescent orange are Lumberjack Bars, Aaron Ross Spacebars and Classic Race Forks. Hit up suspenders.com to keep your pants up and contact your bike shops and mail-orders to get some Aaron Ross inspired colors on your bicycle!
Speaking of Ross the Boss, you can read about Aaron’s top 5 favorite moments on The Office over at ESPN. More photos of fluorange can be found after the link.

Wallpaper madness! Here are three new ones for you to pick from. If you happen to be sitting in a computer lab (or have a printer handy), open up this PDF version of the Aaron Ross ad and print it out. Tape it up somewhere and shoot a photo of it. Then, e-mail the photo to aaron-ross-is-awesome(at)odysseybmx[dot]com or add it to the Odyssey Flickr Group.
Our new spokes use butting dimensions that are tailor-made for BMX racing, and they’re still strong enough to handle some light street riding too. You’ll save roughly an ounce per wheel on 36’s. Only the best stainless steel has been used, and the gradual butting transitions are ideal for the stresses that a 20″ wheel has to endure.
» Proprietary professional-grade stainless steel.
» BMX specific butting transition dimensions.
» 184, 186, 188, 192mm.
» Black or silver.
