Aaron Ross recently had ankle surgery done and is currently in the recovery process. ESPN has an interview about it which you can read HERE. Although he’s already able to walk around again right now, the official date where he can start riding and doing tricks again is June 1st. Until then, you guys should probably constantly send him messages on Twitter and Facebook.

We normally post things that have to do with our riders on Dailyword. Even though this article does mention Terry, I wanted to post it strictly because its a good read and Povah is spot on, as per usual.

Jim C has a pretty sweet bike check and photo gallery up over at ESPN. In it, he talks about his 24″ Model C and what it’s like riding it and switch back and forth between the 20″.

I know you ride your Sunday cruiser more than a regular 20″ bike nowadays. Is there a specific reason for this? To be honest, I go back and forth between the 20″ and 24″ throughout the year. I run a BMX bike company, so I should have experience in both bikes. Before I started riding this bike in October, I rode my 20″ for a whole year straight. For me, it’s difficult to switch between the two just because the 24″ makes the 20″ feel small. The main reason why I ride the 24″ is that I like the idea of taking something you already know how to do and making it different. It’s like riding bigger stair sets or steeper rails, you want the challenge of taking something you already know and making it different or more difficult.
