We finally received another shipment of rimstrips so you can lay off the electrical tape for a while. Hit up the shops to get a pair. If you get a bunch, you can weave a basket!

Dig just put up a gallery of Mike Aitken photos. Some of them have been published in the mag and some of them haven’t. All of them are awesome and there’s even a classic no-footer in the mix!
Chase Gouin and Terry Adams
Chase Gouin in Costa Rica (Ride BMX)
Fat Tony just posted a flatland gallery over at the Ride site. In it, you can catch a few flicks of Chase Gouin and Terry Adams riding in places around the globe.
Hit up the read more link for Chase’s video part from our 2003 video and if you haven’t done so already, make sure to watch Terry Adam’s crackpacker jump from yesterday. It’s a wild one.
Heath Pinter’s trail jam photos
Heath Pinter’s annual trail jam happened this past weekend and the place was packed with plenty of bikes, Rockstar drinks, free tacos and massive sets of tan, voluptuous doubles. Heath keeps his trails pretty dialed and it’s cool that he and Lonnie Paxton are down to open them up and hold jams for everyone to enjoy. Hit up the internet jump for pictures of real jumps and plenty of Chase Hawk.
EDIT: There’s a video from BNQT in there now, too!
the crackpacker
Terry Adams just sent me this video of him cruising out of a parking garage in a crackpacker, hopping a grass thing and then ending it with a link for good measure. Freeeeestyle.

Mario Carrasco (Give D!)
“Mario shreds New Mexico terrain all day, all long. He just recently dialed in his new Brosnasnu Pandora with a bunch of fresh ODSY goodies so he decided to shred and get some photos with his new set up. What he didn’t plan on doing after dialing in a new bike was un-dialing his knee… Mario recently got broke off on a toothhanger gone wrong with a case of regretful footdown… Mario’s part of the knee club now and he’s now awaiting more doctor visits and surgery. I don’t know the full extent of his messed up knee but he should be back up and healthy in about 6 weeks… Get well brotherrrrrrr!” – Alex Bermudez

Dragons, elephants and more Gary Young
Yo Dudes,
My trip to Thailand was amazing! We rode some really awesome stuff, including elephants. All of the Thai riders that we met were so hospitable, and the Thai smile really is infectious. Everywhere we went, we were met by smiling faces. It was really quite nice, with the exception of the sun dial that was shaped like a half pipe… but we were expecting to get kicked off of that thing.
Unfortunately at the end of the trip I twisted my knee. It was on this weird road gap, when I pulled up in the air, my hand slipped off the grip. In hindsight, I fell victim to the humidity.
Talk soon,
Gary
