The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
The other day, my buddy over at Quintin mentioned they had a new edit of Aaron Ross they were sitting on. I convinced him to give me a sneak peek and I was super psyched on it. They’ve opened it up for the world to enjoy, so take a look! Also, make sure you have a look around the Quintin store, they’ve got a couple new hats you might be into!

“A few of the highlights from the recent Etnies BMX / Blackout Distribution tour stop at Joe’s Bike Shop in Lafayette, Colorado. Riders were Tony Neyer, Nathan Williams, Tom Dugan, Sean Sexton, Aaron Ross, Lloyd Wright, Bobbie Altiser and Geoff Slattery. The edit includes a interview with Aaron Ross by our man Nick Soloninka. Thanks to everyone for coming out!”
Alex Magallan EX bike – Specs
For some reason, every time I see a complete bike these days, my jaw hits the floor. I think anyone who started riding at least 8 years ago gets the same feeling. Complete bikes then weighed 40 pounds from the the full steel frame and parts. The bikes had these one-piece cranks that would bend as soon as you were about a foot off the ground and that’s just the start of the problems. Now days, bikes come stock closer to 20 pounds with aftermarket parts that the the pros actually ride. It’s amazing. A few weeks back, Sunday announced their new limited edition “Bonus Bikes”. These bikes are collaboration projects with riders, artists, brands and more. Needless to say, they turned out real nice and sold faster than you could say “What is a Bonus Bike?”. I got ahold of the man in charge, Jim Cielencki, to find out a little bit more about these bikes. So, let’s take a closer look at these bikes…

Fox dropped this new edit featuring Aaron Ross, Ruben Alcantara, Chase Hawk, Sean Sexton, Joe Rich, Liam Eltham and Russell Barone from their team trip (even though half the guys already live in Austin) to Austin, Texas for SXSW. These guys all kill it.
See that Watermelon! from Sunday Bikes
“We present to you the latest installment of the Sunday Bonus, the Aaron Ross/Watermelon PRO. Aaron came out with the Watermelon bike last year and it was such a hit that we had to bring it out as a complete bike. This bike is the same spec as his current PRO complete bike, but now it comes in watermelon. It will be available at Sunday dealers starting June 4th. Remember it’s a Sunday Bonus, so there is only a small run of these made. If you want this bike then have your local shop get ahold of Full Factory today!”
You can see all the specs and a photo of the bike by hitting the Sunday site.
Tomorrow morning I’ll be making the drive up to Minneapolis for the Journeys Backyard BBQ at the Maplewood Mall. Corey Martinez, Nathan Williams, Ruben Alcantara, Brian Kachinsky, Aaron Ross, Tony Hamlin along with some of the Etnies skate team and Metal Mulisha dudes will be doing demos and signing autographs. They will also have bands like the Plain White Tee’s playing. If you can make it, do it. It’s a free event and it’s going to be a damn good time!
Defgrip caught up with Aaron Ross and Chase Hawk at the 45th Street Ditch in Austin, Texas for a fun Game of B-I-K-E. As you all know, Aaron and Chase have pretty different styles, so they made a few rules. Needless to say, that lead to some real interesting choices for tricks in this one. Who was the winner? Well, hit play and find out!
“The other day we started the day off with a little session at the 45th street ditch. While waiting for everyone to meet up, Chase and Aaron decided to play a quick game of B.I.K.E. for fun. The game ended up lasting a lot longer than we anticipated with Aaron doing some tricks he has never even done before. Enjoy…
Rules:
-No tricks that require brakes. (Fufanus and Abubacas)
-No tailwhips or barspins. (Kinda)
-Last letter gets two tries.
-Some tricks may have to be redone if not pulled clean.

A few weeks ago, I got my hands (or feet?) on a pair of the new colorway of the Aaron Ross signature Etnies Number mids. I figured there had been a lot of hype about the shoes, and they seemed to be designed real well to hold up to BMX. At least, I’d hope so. It’s Aaron’s shoe and he needs something that can hold up to the riding he gets into. I decided it would be a good idea to give these a go for a few weeks and see how well they held up. So let’s take a peek…
