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.
Electronical: Chase Gouin
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.
Fluorescent orange bars and fork
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.

Aaron Ross ad and a few wallpapers

Matt Beringer: Wallpaper at RideBMX.com ( Widescreen | Standard )
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.
Butted Race Spokes
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.

The title doesn’t really make much sense but whatever. Here’s a fairly hefty update from internet land and the real world. One of the big news of the weekend is Terry Adams won another flatland comp. This time it’s the Twilight Contest. Visit Global-Flat for more info. There’s a 2 minute edit of the event after the read more link.
The other recent big news is there’s a Vigilantia preview over at MikeAitken.com. Things are moving and they should be available very soon. Outside of Vigilantia, Mike’s recovery is moving forward and it looks like he’s on the road to getting his full vision back! Full details over at his site.
Read more for a break down of some awesome things we found in the mags pictured above. Oh and when you’re done, check out Krt Schmidt‘s bike! All sorts of radness going on; f&r stoppies, chromies and posties. Plus, the write up he did to go along with it will get you even more stoked on riding.
Matt Beringer’s snow bike!

JTML Interview!

Earlier today, I was trying to track down the online scan of Jimmy Levan jumping the Austin Church Gap and came up empty handed. I was bummed… but then this interview popped up at DigBMX.com.
EDIT: The photo’s in there now, along with a better, non-sequence photo of the trailer gap! What a great way to start the day. Thanks Will!
