Ride BMX caught up with Adam Banton during our Palm Springs trip and got the full scoop on Adam’s current bike. Click on the photo to see more close-ups, a Q&A and a solid view of the shirt he’s wearing.

Darryl is hands down one of the best dudes you’ll ever encounter. He recently put together this bike check with Props and to go along with it is not only some awesome riding but also roughly two pages worth of thanks to everyone who helped chip in. This is Darryl’s first new bike in 13 years and we’re proud to have had a hand in putting it all together.

You’ve probably seen at least one or two videos by now of Aaron Ross riding an all Orange bike. Well, if you’re interested in adding a splash of orange onto your trusty whip, you’re in luck. These guys are available now in every single part that Aaron runs!

G-Sport also has the matching Safety Orange hubs and rims!
And, if you want to go all out, Sunday Bikes has a matching Aaron Ross Funday frame!

Here’s Justin Simpson’s latest ride. As an added bonus, there’s even some riding footage thrown in at the end!

Watch the vid and then say hi to him on Twitter @JShemidragon!

The first bike up on the list is Aaron Ross’ Orange! Safety Orange is the new colorway we have lined up. The only part we have available right now for sale is the Aaron Ross Grip but you can expect everything else to come trickling in later this year.

One other thing that’s new in this bike check is Aaron Ross’ signature tire! It keeps the keyboard theme of all his other signature parts and the thread pattern are inverted keys which spell out some fun messages from Aaron Ross and a handful from the contest we held last year (we’ll be announcing the winners soon (credit karen here)). Click around the flipbook above for more photos and a complete parts list!

A while ago, Sunday Bikes put up a bike check with Jim Bauer and we never got around to showing off the whole bike. Here it is now with detail shots and a complete brake down of parts.

Oh and the white/tanwall Aitken Tires were prototypes at the time but they’re available now for purchase!
