If the spot in this video was a dragon, Aaron Ross a medieval knight and his bike a sword, the mighty dragon would be slain and Aaron would ride off into the sunset with a princess standing on the back pegs. Far fetched analogies aside, there’s a Zack Morris cellphone chilling next to his laptop.

Electronical:
Chase Gouin
Chase Gouin’s part in Electronical is located in the bonus DVD so a lot of people may have missed it. Now, through the powers of the internet, you can watch it above.
Chase also has a Flatware frame in the works and if this 2008 bike check is any indication of how it’s going to turn out, you know it’s going to be one of the most dialed and thought out frames ever created. Also, while trying to hunt down that bike check, I came across this 2005 interview of Chase at BMX Freestyler. Though it’s over 3 years old, it still stands as a fascinating read.
EDIT: I accidentally put up the wrong link for the interview. The right one is up now.
