As a young rider starting out, it’s probably normal to think that working for a BMX company (or any sweet company) would be the “best job ever”. As a young adult, I can tell you that it’s really just a job, and at times, hard/stressful/annoying work (while ultimately not being that bad at all).

Today however, would fall into the “best job ever” category. Aaron Ross was in town and was at Odyssey ALL DAY. Gary Young and Tom Perry also showed up mid-day for some bike work and chilling. Aaron ended up doing a spontaneous live streaming web chat which got pretty crazy and we all couldn’t help but join in and out as that was going on. Once the word went out on the internets, there were hundreds of kids tuning in and asking Aaron questions. It was crazy and loud.

Out of nowhere, Bauer was egged on/forced to bunnyhop the Odyssey couch inside the office somehow. As soon as I saw that was about to go down, I grabbed my camera and set up as fast as I could. Bauer got it done, and it was the perfect wacky end to an unusual day of hardly getting any “real” work done.

Wasn’t too inspired to pull off the Week in iPhone Photos this week, so here’s a shot of Bauer’s dog, Foxy lady, at the office this week.

Just got back from a road trip to Austin, TX. Sweet place.

I posted a photogallery from the trip on Defgrip. Click below for a few samples and hit up Defgrip for the whole lot.

You may remember a photo a while back of Bauer bunnyhopping Francis’ scooter.

Well, this photo above is after Jim attempted to 180 over the scooter and clipped. The brilliantly captured action shot above is actually the scooter tipping over while Jim and Francis try to save it, haha…. classic.
