OFF THE SUBJECT ARE THERE ANY BIKERS' FROM THE SANDIEGO AREA THAT LIKE TO COME DOWN TO BAJA AND RIDE CUZ' I KNOW A MOTHER LOAD OF KILLER SPOTS' INCLUDING A 30FT. STRAIGHT RAIL AND THE CHUNKS OLDER KINKED BROTHER!!! SO POST BACK AND MAYBE WE CAN RIDE BAJA ONE OF THESE DAYS' I PROMISE YOU WONT' BE DISSAPOINTED. LATER

SO HOWS' THAT FOR A FIRST POST!

When are the Homer to Monkey conversion axles coming out?

haha i know that car pretty well

sweet

gota love the new (old) color
hehe

now you just have to come out with a line of your parts in that color to match it all up. i think the post-it yellow jc's are real nice, how you get those threadless pins? can you buy them separate?

odyssey u are late i saw him with those pedals 3 weeks ago

It used to be that I heard about all your stuff coming soon before it came out, straight from this site. Just today though, I already saw the pedals before you had this post over at the Goods BMX shop. And I'm hearing about you shipping out with new color cables soon too, is this false, or are you just late in letting us know the news? So far I've heard green is first, and then might come orange, yellow, and purple.

that color is pretty sweet

threadless topped pins?

i like it, you need teal bars forks + seat posts to go along with it...pea green would look good too

When will we be able to buy those pins seperately?

...okay what is the deal about product being out there before you even post it? some one needs to tighten up that one...

but seriously, when is the light brown/tan leather seat going to come out for purchase. i saw scott last night and he had one on his bike and i am so ready to get that seat.

Glad you guys like the color. It was kinda a joke at first, about me having a teal sports car (it IS an EX!). But that's just the way I roll. Cutting Edge Color with the joke on me. I heard Scott Foster was painting his Neon that color too...........?

I heard Teal is the new girl jeans of BMX.

I heard Teal is the new girl jeans of BMX.

Hey Adam, let's go on a shanking spree and shank anyone with a non-teal Civic, that would put the joke on everone without teal then...

Or you could just put out a Teal pedal and everyone who does not have a Teal Civic could just get a set of pedals...

Still a newspaper reading Adam Banton shanks some punks with a black civic would be funny to the MAX.

I just noticed today that I used to have mostly Odyssey parts on my bike and now I have none, maybe I should support the return of Civic teal by buying Odyssey pedals... Hmmm?

If you saw Adams bike he has had the teal pedals on his bike, and he gave a pair to kevin porter, so if you saw thier bikes you saw the prototype and the first pair out of the box.

If you work "in the industry" ie at a distributor, they have some information first.

Scotts seat is a prototype that is in production now(with slight changes).

Damn, I didn't know you guys made a Ti Cass. Axle...

SO WHEN WILL THIS SITE HAVE A PROPER TEAM SECTION WITH BIOS' VIDEOS' AND INTERVIEWS'? BECAUSE THIS SITE IS BEGINNING' TO BORE THE HELL OUTTA' ME!! SO HERES' A LITTLE INFO, THE WTP SITE IS ALWAYS' UPDATING, AND THEY PUT UP SOME COOL VIDS' AND PICS' THEY ALSO HAVE AN ARCHIVES' SECTION WITH THE VERY FIRST VIDEO CLIP THEY EVER PUT UP!... SO YOU ODYSSEY DUDES BETTER GET ON THE WHATS' UP AND MAKE YOUR WEBSITE PROPER AND WORTHY OF THE KILLER NAME AND IMAGE YOU GUYS' HAVE!!!

OH YEAH, HEY ODYSSEY I THINK A WEBSITE SUCKS' WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER SITE TO SEE ONE OF YOUR TEAM RIDERS' IN A VIDEO SECTION! SO GET TO IT!!..........NOW!!!

thats color is sooooo adam banton its ridiculous

wow nice color i think i will paint my bike that color

Whats up Tibbs? Good to hear from you. Richmond isn't scared of Teal. What does your post "exactly" mean there anyway, buddy?

Stop the all caps. Please. Kills me.

odyssey is what makes bmx sweet. and these pedals prove that.

very sweet.

finally: threadless top pins

links dont work. fix them please i love teeeeal

links back, word

you know you guys could always just paint your parts teal instead of asking for bars and forks... i mean i'm sure odyssey doesnt use some super light weight paint

Yeah, but keep in mind Odyssey's paint comes on new stuff, and people love new stuff.

the civic has czech registration plate:) how did you get picture of czech civic?

most parts are powder coated and not painted... it's really hard to do powdercoating yourself and i am sure your mother doesnt want you to use the kitchen oven for the baking process. spray paint sucks. people want the bars and forks to match the pedals, its pretty easy to figure out, it looks way better if they are all professionally done. bmx bikes look pretty whack when fools get stupid with a can of krylon.

I think I'd still rather have some JC's that were even half-way grippy as opposed to some which happened to match X part on my bike?

The other 3 riders in my area have all tried my JC's and they've all had problems with them just being slippy as greased turd. That's with a variety of shoes and so on too, so it's not just a haggered old shoe problem. My brother even took a fairly harsh slam just because his front foot slid off the pedal leading to some pretty savage rib-cage/bar interface.

Either way, they seem to work for other people and the fad-loving BMXers of the world (about 90% of all BMXers covered there?) will probably lap this up, so kudos for Odyssey's pretty keen business sense I guess...

There's obviously a lot of riders that don't agree with the "too slippery" take on the pedal. Pros that we don't sponsor or flow parts to ride the pedal by choice, and I can assure you that the great majority of them aren't doing it to keep up with "fads" (and they're certainly not going to put up with slipping the pedals unexpectedly on regular occasions).

The bottomline is that the amount of grip on the platform is what JC was looking for. It addresses his needs. He's said many times that this is the first pedal that he can actually ride right out of the box without "wearing" them in first.

If his needs don't mesh with another rider's, then there's bound to be another pedal out there that would suits them better.

Chris/Odyssey

Hey Chris,

I know what you're saying about the JC pedal and I fully accept that. I just meant that I found it too slippy, which was a bit gutting after spending that money on them. Either way, another lesson.

I'm sure I'll find my ideal pedal one day. Getting a bit unicorn-style now though :-\

I wasn't refering to your flow/pro riders as following "fads" either, moreover there are kids out there who just buy up that stuff just because it's "new" and "limited edition" and it's the in thing to have. Nothing wrong with that if they can pay the bills though I guess.

Either way, like I said, I knew that there was a great majority of people who dig the pedals, I just don't happen to be one of them. I really like the size, look and feel of the pedal, it's just that they didn't give me enough grip.

C'est la vie.

Mark, you DO know that odyssey sells longer pins in the store, right? So if you like everything about the pedal except the grip, why not fix the problem with longer pins?

Will the new svelte dirt forks come in any colors other than black?

I'd tried taking the longer, side pins out of the 'underside' of my pedals and put them in place of the stubbier pins at the fore and aft of the pedal, and it didn't really make much difference. The "Long" pins in the Store appear to just be the side pins, which seem to be 'longer' than the fore and aft pins, having compared the two.

It doesn't really look like the JC pedals come with very long pins so if and when i get them (theyre next in line) ill have to try em out.

HEY ODYSSEY, ITS' SEPT O5.05. UPDATE ALREADY MAN! F#!K THE TEAL MAN!! PUT SOMETHING REALLY COOL UP ON YOUR DAMN SITE ALREADY!!!

I agree, but im not that pissed about it

IM' NOT PISSED, ITS' THE ODYSSEY WEBSITE MAN! I EXPECT ALOT MORE THAN SISSY ASS COLORS' FOR PARTS' THE ONLY COLOR I HAVE ARE RED CIVILIANS' AND THATS' CUZ THE SHOP I ORDERED THEM FROM WAS ALL OUT OF BLACK AND I DIDNT' WANT NO ANIMAL BARS' IM' LOYAL TO ODYSSEY FOR THE MAJORITY OF PARTS' ON MY BIKE BUT I DO HAVE SOME OTHER NAME BRAND PARTS' ON MY BIKE BUT THAT ADDS' UP TO LIKE 5% OF MY BIKE. I LIKE A SITE TO HAVE THE WORKS' ON!! THATS' WHAT ITS' ALL ABOUT.

CAPS LOCK MAKES MY COMMENT STAND OUT TOO!

please stop with the caps

some people are really gay. stop moaning about people not updating the website; theres better things to do. go and ride your bike, and if your that worried about coloured parts, dont buy them, or spray your forks black. your gay.

slippery jc's:
take out all the pins in your pedals, clean all the grease and dirt off the pedals, then wipe them down with some rubbing alcohol.

take some griptape and stick it where your foot goes on one or both sides, use a file or knife to get rid of excess griptape off the sides and the insides of pedals. if you do alotta pedal grinds, you maybe jus wanna do one side.

then poke out the holes where your pins thread through, put the pedals back on your bike.

maybe hella ghetto but it gives you more grip, as you may have read this already read this tip in BMXPLUS, it also works for alot of platform pedals out there.

i personally havent had any problems with slippage with these pedals so i have not done it myself.

it just goes to show how some biker comments about a website and then a "moron" i wont mention your name arnold... ok. ok. has to go and judge a person by saying that db biker something is gay, so whats wrong with wanting a killer website. i bike the net alot and the majority of the bmx sites i go to are crap. and then there are alot of really good ones, i dont see nothing wrong with complaining about a website when the website sucks. as a matter of fact arny, db biker something was with your sister last night and wanted to pass her down but i dont take sloppy seconds.
