Aaron Ross Bike Check

Pictures by Devon Hutchins

Aaron Ross has had a great year no doubt about it. When the Empire video dropped everybody was talking about his part in it. Then the Etnies Grounded video came out... another monster. Follow that up with a NORA Cup #1 Street Rider of the Year award and a medal at the X-Games in Mexico and life is good for gorilla Ross. As the year comes to an end we caught up with Aaron to ask him a few questions and peep his new whip.

Q - You are going on the road for a month, tell us a little about that trip.
Aaron - I’m going on a filming trip for a few weeks for the new Odyssey video, Electronical. We’re heading out to New Jersey then from there to LA for a few days then I will be back in Austin.

Q - Can you tell us a little about your new FBM frame?
Aaron - It’s just cleaned up more from the last one, lighter, and gyro tabs you can take on and off and it looks sweet....

Q - Is there a new part that you're really stoked on?
Aaron - My new bars and grips are both sweet. The grips are super soft and the bars are big but still good for barspins.

Q - Can you tell us anything about the new Odyssey video - or is there anything you want to say about it?
Aaron - It’s going to be sweet and I can’t wait to see it all put together at the end. You need to check it out in a few months it’s definitely going to be good. I can’t wait.
