Do you remember the Aaron Ross Etnies x Sunday collab bike from a few years ago? Well, Empire BMX is holding a raffle to give one away (shoes not included). All proceeds go to help Austin’s, Nina Buitrago, pay her medical bills that she received from getting a broken jaw last fall. Follow this LINK to enter. Watch the the Aaron Ross Triple Shot video right HERE.
Props just released our Megatour 10 section that we went on last February! The trip was a blast and it features riding from Aaron Ross, Gary Young, Alex Magallan, Garrett Reeves, Eric Lichtenberger, Jake Seeley and former Trail Squad member Mike Gonzalez.
Check out some previous posts from the trip HERE.
Lee Dennis seems to have bad luck when he comes to Austin. He pulled his shoulder out of socket a few days ago while here filming. Aaron Ross and Jim C team up to put it back in place. Two years ago when he was in town he did the same thing. Get healthy soon Lee.
Well, 2011 is about to come to a close. It’s been an amazing year for us. The team was all over the place this year. We hit up both Woodward West and East, went on Megatour 10 in Texas, hit up Texas Toast Jam, went to the Ed’s Games, traveled to Colorado, rode trails along the east coast, got lost in Tennessee, traveled around the Baltic Sea and went to Simpel Session. I know I’m exhausted from 2011, but 2012 is planned to be just as busy. Thanks for the great year everyone.
During the fall, Aaron Ross, Alex Magallan, Jake Seeley, Scot Draper and Jim Cielencki joined up with Full Factory’s Bobby Parker to visit a bunch of shops and skateparks in New England. From huge games of Footdown to a bunnyhop contest on a 40 lb bike, we had a blast. Thanks to everyone that came out and to these shops Circuit BMX, Dick Maul’s, Fat Trax, Full Circle and the Garden.
Aaron Ross was ranked fourth in Ride BMX’s Most Popular Riders of 2011. And over the weekend, he ended up getting the Worldwide Rider award from Ride UK magazine. Not a bad week for Aaron. Congrats!
Aaron Ross took the Ride UK magazine’s Reader’s Award for top Worldwide Rider. I think this is a first ever awards for Ride UK. Either way, big congratulations going out to Aaron!
Both Aaron Ross and Eric Lichtenberger will be teaching at the Woodward West Winter Camp from Dec 26th-31st. This is really cool because they’ll be some of the first people to ride the remodeled Hanger. The pictures look insane! If you’re going then you are very lucky, this will be a lot of fun.
As previously noted, Aaron Ross took the win at the Red Bull Most Wanted contest held in Austin at the end of October. Here is the video from the event along with the Halloween Jam at 9th Street Trails. This event is so much fun to do! I’m already anxious for next year.
