Rider Updates!

Here are some random team updates, including a couple old video parts. From left to right (full photos and videos after the jump):

  • Jim Cielencki’s physical therapy is going much better than expected! He’s also been on a Twittering like crazy.
  • Taj Mihelich’s section in Until Monkeys Fly. He has also posted a bikeography (?) on his blog. He runs through a list of a bunch of bikes he’s had from past to present. You can check that out HERE.
  • Adam Banton has some sick, creative lines in the new Inside/Out video.
  • Chase Gouin’s video part in Happy Days has made its way online in Krt Schmidt’s blog. In case you missed it, his signature tire (Frequency G) will now be available in Tanwall!

Odyssey
Give D! commercial

A new edit/commercial has been loaded into our TV, courtesy of the Give D! crew. To go along with this edit, Alex typed up a storm on his mobile Sidekick cellular device and sent us this update:

I’m currently at In and Out in T-Mec and its pouring rain here in the So Cal regions. I just drove down from San Bernardino with Steve Kennedy and John Ludwick, there were numerous car accidents on the 215 and the rain reminded me how badly I need new tires… Rain in San Diego is rare so I’m taking this day in for all it’s worth, if you’re not stoked on the rain then maybe you’ll be stoked on the newest Odyssey/Give D! commercial. Summer of Rot is about to drop online here shortly as well, so keep checking out bnqt.com for the Give D!vd, Summer of Rot. Yes, its free for download, so get on it. Don’t forget to put on your Odyssey tee while partaking in the rot today. – Alex @ Give D!

Cross-industry infiltration

Chris Cole and the jersey shirt
In the music section of Transworld Skate (January 2009)

We spotted Chris Cole wearing an Odyssey shirt in the latest Transworld Skateboarding issue. It’s pretty cool seeing people outside of the BMX industry wearing our threads, especially a two time X-Games gold medalist. Thanks for the love!
