Aitken Snow Tires?

If you live in the upper regions of the northern hemisphere, you either already have or will soon feel the wrath of this year’s winter snow. If you happen to find your town blanketed with inches of that white stuff, don’t fret, here’s a little how-to from the dudes at Ride UK to help keep you shredding. With the help of an Aitken tire and a box full of screws, you and your friends can get a grip of winter in no time.

Just try to stay away from tire grabs…

Some sweet stuff popped up on the internet and in my inbox today. First on the list is a battle between Terry Adams and Shinichi Kiba at the last KOG comp in Japan. Some of the links and hops Terry does is unreal. Though the red flag in the end indicates he lost, the 360 hop he does shortly afterwards is dialed!

Next is a video for our Beta Bag made by our Russian distributor, Toy Bike. If you’re from that part of the globe and in the market for a nice bag, give them a ring. If you’re from the US, you’re in luck ’cause it’s in the closeout section of our online store!

The Ride to Glory trip is done and you can check out pics from Day 7 and the Final Day at the Ride UK site.

And finally, hit up Defgrip to get a glimpse of what’s in Aaron Ross’ iPod.

Ride UK has an Odyssey Day 6 update on their site, so make sure to check it out for some pics. According to various internet sources, I guess the crew was out riding till 3AM the previous evening! If you’re in the mood to be jealous, this is what they’re currently riding (via @sundaybikes).

Also, here’s the prize package we put together for the trip.
