» Tom Perry x Defgrip
Tom Perry, the merrily manualling machine, has a momentously new motion movie up at Defgrip. Watch it over there and download his wallpaper while you’re at it.
Also, if you happen to have a favorite number and a favorite animal, you’re in luck. Those are the only two ingredients you need to become a part of Tom’s Awkward Words experience.

KOG Battle: Terry Adams VS. Shinichi Kiba

Some sweet stuff popped up on the internet and in my inbox today. First on the list is a battle between Terry Adams and Shinichi Kiba at the last KOG comp in Japan. Some of the links and hops Terry does is unreal. Though the red flag in the end indicates he lost, the 360 hop he does shortly afterwards is dialed!
Next is a video for our Beta Bag made by our Russian distributor, Toy Bike. If you’re from that part of the globe and in the market for a nice bag, give them a ring. If you’re from the US, you’re in luck ’cause it’s in the closeout section of our online store!
The Ride to Glory trip is done and you can check out pics from Day 7 and the Final Day at the Ride UK site.
And finally, hit up Defgrip to get a glimpse of what’s in Aaron Ross’ iPod.
» Defgrip Original: Jim Bauer

The latest person in the Defgrip Originals video queue is our very own Jim Bauer. Head over to Defgrip to watch it. Also, keep checking back here ’cause there’s a Bauer web video in the works as well!
» Skier Jay Interview
Jason Eichhorst AKA Skier Jay
Nuno and the Defgrip crew just put up an in-depth interview with Skier J. He produces a LOT of work for BMX and in the interview, you can catch him talking about things from how he got his nickname, printing shirts, photography, painting, design and much more. He’s also the man behind the lens of our latest Mike Aitken Ad and some of the wallpapers we’ve offered these past few months (Beringer – Shed, Mike Aitken and Beringer – Jacket).
Oh and as to what Matt Beringer was doing in his latest wallpaper:
Jump onto the shed, land can can, and I guess you could call it a saran wrap barspin driving it with my leg and it kind of turns me around when it spins. I like tricks that you can’t name because they’re too hard to explain. I do one of these in my day in the life in Props 69 and also in “I wanna live.”
Somebody should do this trick in the air and name it something really stupid and take credit for inventing it.
Later,
Matt
» More Aitken Events / Benefits
We’re flowing some treats to the Kink / Red Bull’s Trick or Treat Jam this weekend and they’ll be raffling it off with proceeds going toward the Mike Aitken Fund. Full flyer after the jump.
If you can’t make it to the Trick or Treat Jam, make sure to check out last week’s post and maybe you’ll find one near you to attend.
Also, hit up Defgrip to check out a collaboration they did with DVS. It’s a pretty cool looking shoe with proceeds going towards the Mike Aitken Fund as well.
» Hercules Sidehacks
This was spotted over on Defgrip. If you’re going to be at Interbike this week, make sure to head over to our booth. We’re going to have a sidehack there that’s fully loaded with Odyssey components.

The big news of the weekend is that style (and crazy 360 variations) beat out flips and whips at Dew Tour Dirt. Mike Aitken gets a well deserved first place spot on the podium.

In other parts of the web, Jim Cielencki was in town for a handful of days last week and has a Top 5′s feature over on Defgrip. Ironically enough, Mike Dominquez was in our office last week too so JC can cross off one of the items in his “Top 5 People I’d Like to Meet” list.
