Head over to Dans360.com to see what parts Hoang’s running these days.

We’re dropping our latest ODSY Vision tomorrow, so start guessing in the comments on what went down at this spot!

Darryl is hands down one of the best dudes you’ll ever encounter. He recently put together this bike check with Props and to go along with it is not only some awesome riding but also roughly two pages worth of thanks to everyone who helped chip in. This is Darryl’s first new bike in 13 years and we’re proud to have had a hand in putting it all together.

We have a few new colors to add to our fleet of Hazard Lite wheels (Hazard Lite rims laced onto V3 Cassette & Vandero 2 hubs). These guys are available now in Hard Anodized Blue, Hard Anodized Red and Ocean Blue. Hit up your local shops and favorite mail-orders to upgrade!

The V3 Cassette (rear wheel) comes stock with a 14mm axle and the Vandero 2 (front wheel) comes with 3/8″ inbound female axles. If you want to run 3/8″ in the back, you can get our 3/8″ Conversion kit.

Jim C has a pretty sweet bike check and photo gallery up over at ESPN. In it, he talks about his 24″ Model C and what it’s like riding it and switch back and forth between the 20″.

I know you ride your Sunday cruiser more than a regular 20″ bike nowadays. Is there a specific reason for this? To be honest, I go back and forth between the 20″ and 24″ throughout the year. I run a BMX bike company, so I should have experience in both bikes. Before I started riding this bike in October, I rode my 20″ for a whole year straight. For me, it’s difficult to switch between the two just because the 24″ makes the 20″ feel small. The main reason why I ride the 24″ is that I like the idea of taking something you already know how to do and making it different. It’s like riding bigger stair sets or steeper rails, you want the challenge of taking something you already know and making it different or more difficult.

If you own a cruiser and want to upgrade your wheelset, make sure to check out our Hazard Lite 24″ complete wheels, spokes, rims and tires!

Here is Tom Dugan’s latest ride, courtesy of PropsBMX.tv.

If you’re on Twitter, hit him up at twitter.com/ericlichtenberg. And while you’re at it, download his wallpaper / print ad as well!

One other thing that’s new in this bike check is Aaron Ross’ signature tire! It keeps the keyboard theme of all his other signature parts and the thread pattern are inverted keys which spell out some fun messages from Aaron Ross and a handful from the contest we held last year (we’ll be announcing the winners soon). Click around the flipbook above for more photos and a complete parts list!

Mint Hazard Lites are in and available now!

We just stocked up on our Hazard Lites in Hard Anodized Blue and Hard Anodized Red. Contact your shops and mail-orders to get rolling on these rims!

Our most complete parts kit ever is here and available now. Hit up your local shops and mail-orders to turn your bike red. Check out the Fire Engine Red flipbook for a complete parts list and more pics!

Although brakeless riding has taken off to epic proportions, we know there are still plenty of people out there who enjoy the irreplaceable feeling of a stalled out abubaca or a properly executed skid. To celebrate and show our appreciation to those who love to lock ‘em up, we’re holding a Brake Dance Contest.

The rules are simple, submit visual proof (photo or video) of a brake related move and the raddest one wins a pair of chrome Hazard Lite rims and a full Odyssey brake kit which includes Evo 2 brakes, a Monolever and a Linear Slic Kable. We’ll even let you choose the color you want from what we have in stock.

Though just about any brake related move qualifies, we will NOT accept feathering and speed checks. However, if you want to do something like gap 30 feet and have to skid to a stop in order to avoid slamming into a wall, we’ll count that.

To enter, you can send it to us through any of our many accounts: YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, Facebook, Vital, or just email it to us.

The deadline is March 29th! Have fun!

Also, keep checking back ’cause there’ll be a new video of Jimmy popping up soon!

While a lot of kids these days are going out and trying on the tallest, largest bars, you actually trim yours down. What’s the width on your bars and have they gotten wider at all throughout the years or are they still partying like it’s 1999?
My bars are cut down about an inch on each side. So yeah, they are narrow for the N.W. However, I must admit, they are wider than they were when I moved here 5 years ago.

Aside from trimming the bars, are there any other things about your setup that you’re particular about?
Just that it’s running solid. I’ve been riding too long to have a slapping chain or loose… anything running shitty.

You’re known to have done some of the biggest gaps in BMX. When it comes to jumping long distances and dropping from great heights, is there a specific geometry you’ve grown to prefer?
I’ve always been a 74% or 74.5% head tube guy. My rear end is 13.75″ and works great. I think landing those gaps you mentioned is just knowing the balance of your rig. You have to know when to drop your back wheel to land, as well as a steady trust on your frame and parts knowing that nothing is going to explode.

Greyboy and Truly have a bike check up on the Ride site, along with an interview about Impakt Sidehacks and an online version of their Sidehack Love article from earlier this year. Constantly carrying 315lbs plus the force of landings and grinds, these 3 wheeled cousins can take and handle a lot of abuse. Check out the bike check to see what type of parts they’re running on it!

A huge thanks goes out to Rob at CM Speed for doing the welding for us!

Kyle Hart has a bike check up at RideBMX.com. The product list is a little wacky but that paint job he’s rockin’ is looking good.

Kyle’s of the 3-peg persuasion and out of curiosity, how many pegs are you guys running these days? Leave your peg count in the comments.

Our very own Jim Bauer has a couple pics up on the Sunday site riding his Model-C. Check it.

Ride BMX has a bike check up for Hoang Tran. You can check out the photos after the Read More link or click the photo above for full details and a video of Hoang almost puking during a food challenge.

A new batch of colors are in for our Hazard Lite. They are now available in Ocean Blue and the following hard anodized colors; blue, black, red and gold.

If you have some dope wheelsets built up using our array of rim options, send us some pics! You can add it to our Flickr Group, Facebook Fan Photos, tag us on MySpace or hit us up with an @odysseybmx twitter!
