Aaron Ross, Chase Hawk and Sean Sexton

12 Hours in San Diego from Fox Clothing

Nuno mentioned this video to me on the way home from work today. The premise is exactly what the title of the video says and Aaron Ross delivers a double banger. Oh, and as always, Chase Hawk blasts really high.

Dig just put up a gallery of Mike Aitken photos. Some of them have been published in the mag and some of them haven’t. All of them are awesome and there’s even a classic no-footer in the mix!

Heath Pinter’s trail jam photos

Heath Pinter’s annual trail jam happened this past weekend and the place was packed with plenty of bikes, Rockstar drinks, free tacos and massive sets of tan, voluptuous doubles. Heath keeps his trails pretty dialed and it’s cool that he and Lonnie Paxton are down to open them up and hold jams for everyone to enjoy. Hit up the internet jump for pictures of real jumps and plenty of Chase Hawk.

EDIT: There’s a video from BNQT in there now, too!

the crackpacker

Terry Adams just sent me this video of him cruising out of a parking garage in a crackpacker, hopping a grass thing and then ending it with a link for good measure. Freeeeestyle.

Odyssey Integrated Headsets

So, what do we have here? Well, we’re fortunate enough to be working with a facility that has the official patent licensing rights for the threadless headset, and this means that you can count on the headset having the highest level of quality and reliability right out of the box. There’s no fussing about to get it to spin properly, and the tolerances are all being kept to the proper standards. The 45-degree precision ground bearing raceways are laser-etched with all of the pertinent technical information, and our top-cap offers one of the lowest overall stack heights available. As a bonus, we’ve also included some 2 and 3mm headset spacers that use the same finish as the top-cap. The color options are white, black, gold or high-polished. There are no overly gaudy graphics to deal with, and because this is a BMX-specific headset we’ve decided to go without the “throwaway” pre-load and star-fangled nut. Simple and straightforward. We’re confident that you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.

Odyssey integrated headsets are now available! Consult the flipbook for full details. Also, there’s a lot of conceptual stuff in the works on the headset horizon. Please keep an eye on the Daily Word for regular updates.

“Mario shreds New Mexico terrain all day, all long. He just recently dialed in his new Brosnasnu Pandora with a bunch of fresh ODSY goodies so he decided to shred and get some photos with his new set up. What he didn’t plan on doing after dialing in a new bike was un-dialing his knee… Mario recently got broke off on a toothhanger gone wrong with a case of regretful footdown… Mario’s part of the knee club now and he’s now awaiting more doctor visits and surgery. I don’t know the full extent of his messed up knee but he should be back up and healthy in about 6 weeks… Get well brotherrrrrrr!” – Alex Bermudez
