SOME INFO.

Sorry for the lack of updates.

The new RIDE bmx magazine has landed in our hands and there was a cool unexpected photo of flatlander Chase Gouin doing some kind of cross-footed nose wheelie link, while working those special edition 20x1.75 Frequency G tires.

Matt Beringer scored a bike check in this issue, so be sure to check that out.

Gary Young, Danny Hickerson and Mike Aitken also have cool photos in this issue.

Adam Banton was in today building up his new Eastern Reaper frame. The Reaper is his first frame with internal headset and he is psyched. Those things are so easy to set up that i even had to help him out with it. Adam also has the sweet 2-page spread in the above mentioned issue of RIDE bmx.

Thats all for now. Have a good weekend.

Its True..

This is the new JC limited edition color. Looks like a normal Pearl Blue....

But in the dark they look like this....

Bikes are worse than Crack.

So while Jeff Z and I were riding this fine morning, a cop came upon the Public Skatepark. He rides right past 3 kids WITH CRACK and doesn't pay them any attention. They are all nervous(because of the CRACK). They had no need to worry because he was just kicking two bike riders out of a public park. He then rode past them again while they were fumbling to hide the crack. We don't need to hear all of your cops/parks stories, I'm sure you have worse, but I felt I needed to vent.
Thanks for listening.

Random Mexico Pics

Getting stopped by the cops is pretty common in Mexico. Sometimes you just have to give them some pesos, or have Mafia guys driving the vans. Either way it helps when they are wearing Odyssey Gloves, and you ride for Odyssey. They get psyched.(photo:rob tibbs)

Twenty BMX

We got a sneak peak at next months premier issue of Twenty BMX magazine, so I figured you guys might want to see it.

The first issue of Twenty BMX Mag is beginning to ship, and will be on
newsstands on April 1st.

This mag will cover all aspects of BMX: race, street, dirt, ramp, and flat.

Everyone seems to want to know what percentage of coverage will be assigned to each discipline; all we can say is that, that is impossible to predict. We'll do our best to provide equal coverage, but the bottom line is that whatever notable happened that month in BMX will do more to dictate what ends up in the magazine.

The editorial staff at Twenty is open to all things BMX, and feel that's the way riders should be, so the mag will reflect that. If you're a strict, judgmental tightwad, you'll find a way to dislike it, just like everything else. If you're open-minded and down to have fun on your bike, hopefully you'll support it. Thanks.

-Kevin McAvoy and Justin Kosman, Twenty BMX Mag

New Shirts(part three)

The third installment of new shirts. The Coat of Arms needed a special screen/print press to make such a big graphic. Subtle brown on burgundy. Hard to see in the photos, but looks hot in real life, trust me. Gold ODYSSEY wrap around. Have fun.

New Shirts(part two)

This is the second of a few new shirts. This is a new graphic called Digital Orange. 3 Shades of Orange ink on an orange(poppy) 50/50. A few of the squares slide around the hip onto the back. Bobby Digital would be proud.

The last of the 3 new styles should be finished tomorrow, so I will get it up here when it is.
