» Anyone can ride... update!
Some time last week, Taj got sick and started taking drawing requests to help pass the time. The concept was simple; suggest an animal doing a trick on a bike and then Taj would then spend a few minutes doodling it out. A lot of you guys chimed in and above is the end result from the experiment. For details on each request, flip through it on our Flickr page.
To wrap it up, Taj even put together a pictorial on How To Draw.
Thanks to everyone who participated. If you don’t want to miss out on the next time we do something like this, make sure to add us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter!
» Anyone can ride...
Taj is resting at home right now and feeling a little under the weather. To pass the time, he’ll be doodling random animals riding bicycles. If there’s an animal you’ve ever wanted to see riding a bike, now’s your chance to submit a request. Post some ideas in the comments section and if Taj digs it, he’ll draw it up for you.
The doodles will be done in a few minutes and under the influence of Nyquil.
See the drawing above for an example.
Check our Facebook and Twitter accounts to keep up on all of the new doodles!
UPDATE: No more requests for now! Thanks to everyone who participated.
Check the Facebook page for all the doodles that came out of this!
» Nitro Circus' Sidehack
We spent a day last week at one of Nitro Circus‘ training facilities and got to witness an assortment of wheeled vehicles get launched into the air. Among them was the Sunday x Impakt Sidehack shown in the flipbook above. This is Impakt’s ‘Elite’ custom sidehack and it’s more dialed than ever! Loaded with Odyssey components, this 3-wheeler is well equipped to take on the toll of Nitro Circus’ ‘mini’ mega-ramp. A couple brave souls took on the challenge and though the first attempts were kinda sketch (see the video after the jump), we’re pretty sure they’ll be ready and sticking some solid jumps come tour time.
Also, add us on Vimeo and YouTube if you’re on there. We’ll be uploading random clips there for your viewing pleasure. Case in point: Dakota Roche Clip.
» Man on the Move
Jim Bauer has an interview up on a website called Man on the Move. In it, he talks about one of his most prized possessions, a 1981 Porsche 911 SC. Boasting elegant curves and a classic 80’s flair, the car is an absolute beauty. If you’re a car guy or just simply looking for an interesting read, make sure to check out the interview.
» Custom Mac Icons
We whipped up some desktop icons for Mac users to enjoy. This batch includes all of our sprockets that are currently available, excluding the Burlington in Fire Engine Red. Watch the video above to learn how to use these icons and click here to download.
There’ll be more batches down the road, including PC versions as well!
» Frostbike!
Kurt Hohberger was busy this past weekend snapping and uploading pics from Frost Bike 2010. Check out the Odyssey booth pictorial up on BMXUnion.com.
» Aaron Ross Facebook
A while ago, Aaron maxed out on the number of friends he’s allowed to have on his Facebook profile. The friend requests kept coming in but Facebook wouldn’t let him accept. As a result, he now has a fan page! There isn’t a cap on that so if you’re a fan, make sure to add him!
While you’re at it, add us too!
