Defgrip always seems to come up with some original content and this 5×5 with Aaron Ross is no exception.
Aaron Ross/Corpus video
Aaron Ross has a new video posted up on the Fox site. It has Aaron destroying spots in his hometown of Corpus Christi, TX over a 3 day period. Based on his bike color, it looks like this is from last fall. Either way, he lets his old spots have it in this video. If you didn’t see the last update, Aaron’s currently on Fox’s Gold State of Mind Tour in California.

Gary Young/Blackhawks fan!
Wind and rain during the Red Bull Stomping Grounds contest in Chicago, couldn’t stop Gary Young from opposite turndowning this set. Even the Chicago Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup parade couldn’t stop him either! Photo by Greg Dickson.
Alex Magallan update!
Alex Magallan is back in Nashville and has been working on a new web video. The heat and humidity is hellish, but that hasn’t stopped Alex from banging out a bunch of tricks including this sneak shot. Any guesses as to what’s going on? Go over to Defgrip to check out Alex’s most recent edit.
Bryan Lacombe’s Forecaster
Here’s a few photos of Bryan Lacombe’s new Forecaster frame kit built up! His full kit includes matching Triumph bars and Morning 2.1 forks! I’m liking the seat grab nosepick in the last photo. Frame kit is available now!
Introducing Victory Bars!
Here are some photos of our new bars called the Victory bars. These dimensions might seem familiar because the Victory bars are the new name for the Forumph bars. There was some confusion with the name being so close to the Triumph bar, so we decided to change the name away from -umph that is common between both bars. We did however keep the naming theme. So, if you’re not quite ready to make the jump up to the ultra tall bars of today, but still need to go higher than 8″ then these are the ones for you.
Rise: 8.32″
Width: 28″
Backsweep: 12 deg
Upsweep: 4 deg
Weight: 1 lb 10 oz
Colors: Black Magic, white, watermelon green and purple
Features: 41-Thermal heat-treating
The Two Sides of Reed Stark’s Bike
Team Dilly is represented again on the Sunday site with Reed Stark’s new Third Wave frame. Reed’s bike is sort of two sided with one side having a huge Team Dilly sticker and the other having the Third Wave’s stickers. Reed has been killing it lately, he won best trick and took second at the Verge Music Festival Jam a few weeks ago. He’s got some big plans this summer and I can’t wait to see the results!
Tom Arkus Photo
Check out this photo of Tom Arkus doing a back rail fufanu! When was the last time you saw one of those? It’s been a long time since every other photo in a magazine was someone doing a fufanu. I know I’ve done my share. Tricks come and go I guess! Enjoy this photo of Tom getting retro for us. Photo Brian Yeagle. For more of Brian’s photos go check out his Flickr page.
Watermelon Triumph Bars
Check out the tried and true Triumph bars in Aaron Ross watermelon green! They also come in Black Magic, white and purple. Triumphs have an 8″ rise, 28″ width, 12 degrees backsweep, 1 degree of upsweep and use 41-Thermal heat-treating. Available now!
Seth Peterson Bike Photos!
Here’s a bunch of photos of Seth Peterson‘s new 21″ Third Wave frame with Morning 2.1 forks and Triumph bars. These were all shot with in riding distance of the office. Check out how the grips, pedals and Parends go with the frame’s stickers. Notice the Sunday seat clamp that comes with all the new frames for 2010. Super solid and super clean!
