Hoang Tran:
Wallpaper

I always forget Hoang can do tailwhips (and hop whips for that matter). I guess it’s no surprise though, the dude’s a ninja.

Worst experience with an “authority” figure?

Here’s part one of a new segment from Ride where riders talk about their worst experience with a cop, security and/or random hero. KC Badger gets tazed and Adam Banton heckles a janitor.

Brandon Webster:
Red Bull Phenom

Brandon’s a machine. His Red Bull Phenom entry is filled with some hard lines.

Dude canoe with Hoang and Ron

I found a CD with a bunch of random photos in it and figured we might as well do a quick photo dump. I want to say most of them were shot on our way to Texas Toast last year.

Matthias Dandois @ Opera

It ain’t over till the fat lady sings… and by a fat lady singing, I actually mean Matthias lacing some new flatland links. He’s neither fat, nor a lady. He is, however, a really good bike rider.

Bike Check

All photos by Walter Pieringer
Odyssey Aerospace Rims, 36h

6000 series aluminum
34mm wide
23mm tall
36-H

Odyssey Thunderbolt Cranks, RHD, 175mm

Laboratory tested and team proven. Never-Wobble™ crank arm and spindle interface guarantee. 41-Thermal® lifetime replacement warranty against bending, cracking and breaking. Weighs 1lb 11.8oz.

Available in RHD or LHD and in 175 or 180mm sizes.

Odyssey Evo II Brake

The Evo II brake is the industry leading U-brake. Comes with Odyssey’s convenient double lugged straddle cable, custom curved cable hanger and an array of hardware for adapting the brake to every possible set-up.

Odyssey Lincoln Stem

Industrial chain link plates create a reinforced top cap hinge, eliminating the need for traditional bolt holes that can weaken the stem body in this area.

53mm reach. 25mm rise or 7mm when flipped. Forged 6061-T6 aluminum.

Odyssey JCPC Pedals

Extremely light weight plastic bodies eliminate the need for bearings and allow for a spindle that is significantly stronger than normal. Metal pins make the pedal very grippy, and the pedal will still function normally when pins are removed from one side for grind tricks.

Instead of replacing the whole pedal, Pedal Body Halves are easy and inexpensive to replace.

Odyssey GY3 Bar

Gary Young’s signature bars feature a classic looking shape and tall rise. Internally butted throughout. Legendary 41-Thermal® lifetime guarantee.

8.66″ rise. 28″ wide. 12° backsweep. 4° upsweep.

Odyssey Antigram Rear Hub, 9t

The Antigram is a 36-H rear hub that is strong, light and reasonably priced with in-bound axle bolts that is both RHD/LHD switchable and guard compatible.

Odyssey Principal Seat

Gary signature Principal model features a thick padded seat with Pivotal base. The cover is a texturized rubber for grip. Embossed Odyssey logo. Great for barspins!

Odyssey Path Tire, K-Lyte, 2.1″

A time-tested and proven design that works as a great all-around tire. Low rolling resistance, a grippy tread pattern and available in loads of configurations.

Odyssey Principal Seat

Gary signature Principal model features a thick padded seat with Pivotal base. The cover is a texturized rubber for grip. Embossed Odyssey logo. Great for barspins!

Odyssey Burlington Sprocket, 28t

Form meets function in this stiff, strong and lightweight design paired with our Incisor Teeth for increased strength and reduced wear.

Available in 23t, 25t, 27t or 28t.

Odyssey Quik Slic Linear Kable

The easiest and fastest brake cable to install. A straight pull from the built in cable hanger improves performance, too.

Building a replica of Gary’s bike may not automatically qualify you for an X Games Gold, but having the right tools for the job sure doesn’t hurt. Here’s what Gary’s flying around on these days. All photos by Walter Pieringer.

Gary Young:
X Games GOLD!

Put Gary in any park and by the end of the day, it’s guaranteed he’ll be flowing that thing like he’s on home turf and lacing lines that other riders didn’t even know existed. That’s exactly what he did in Barcelona this weekend and we are more than proud to see that the juice man brought home a gold medal for his steeze. Congrats Gary!

Sean Sexton “SXTN” Stem:
Available Now!

Sean is a fan of the top load stem, so we worked closely with him to fine tune his own. Sean’s stem is made from 6061 Aluminum, has minimal branding and will come with a 48MM reach. The shorter 48mm reach is right in line with the needs of street riders today, for which Sean is in the middle of. Odyssey pre-load bolts sit flush with stem when mounted correctly. Simple and clean.
