UPDATE: AVAILABLE NOW!

Some of you eagle-eyed the Tanwall tires in those riding pics that Jim posted from the other day, and emails/comments began.

Above is a better pic of my bike with the Tanwall tires so you can check them out. The front is a knobby Aitken, and the rear is a Path. The label on the tire is not right, so disregard that.

These Tanwall tires are being made to “look” like old school skinwalls, but are way more durable as the casings coincide with what we are offering now. Actual skinwalls wouldn’t hold up very well these days, but the Tanwalls will.

These are a few months out. More info soon.

A bunch of us were on hand at the OS-BMX meet in Long Beach, CA this weekend.

There was a bunch of amazing old school bikes and bmx legends on hand. The pic above is from a vendor who was selling old Odyssey caliper brakes, and other assorted stuff.

Check out Defgrip for a bunch of pics from the day.

We have begun taking pre-orders from our distributors for the above pedals and grips. We approved these samples a little while ago, and its going to be impossible to keep these on the low, so we are showing this stuff a bit earlier than we normally would.

The pedals are the ubiquitous PC’s, and the Grips are the Griswalds. You may remember seeing the Griswald grips from pics of Interbike last year, and they will finally be out soon.

The iPedals and iGrips will be available within 2 months in the following clear colors:

Blueberry
Grape
Graphite
Lime
Strawberry
Tangerine

Contact your local shop/mailorder if you want to get some on order.

You can click on the pic to see it bigger.

Devon has also put up a bunch of pics too, so check them out.

The next round of Twisted PC colors are here, and will start shipping out soon. The colors that will be available are Mint, Orange, Purple and Fluorescent Red.

It’s hard to tell the Orange and Fl. Red apart in the pic, but think Gary Young on the Orange, and think Aaron Ross for the Fluorescent Red.

Sexy!

Ride BMX has a bike check with the tandem bike that was created for Interbike last year.

Thanks to Neal Wood/Timmy Ball and S&M for the helping dial this thing in.

Aaron Ross’s signature Spacebar is available now.

Here are the specs:

If you like the feel of big bars but would prefer a smaller box, than these are for you. We know you love Aaron too.

KC Badger has 6 pages worth of an interview in the new DIG BMX MAGAZINE, where you can also check out Aaron Ross sleeping with his bike.

Be sure to check that out, as well as the new re-designed DIG site.

I just returned from the Red Bull Elevation comp in Mexico. I was invited to Judge, as was Matt Beringer (above). However, Matt ran into some bad luck and crashed on his face, and had to go to the hospital. This prevented him from judging on Saturday, and Nasty filled in.

But since Matt is Matt, we all saw him strolling back to the tower with a huge sombrero and fake mustache on (above), which was super funny. He was pretty beat up, but still in good spirits. That dude rules.

Gary Young was also on hand and qualified into the finals, but couldn’t ride since he tweaked his knee. That was a shame too, as he was riding really well (and I’m not just saying that because he is one of ours). He was doing rad transfer lines on the tail end of the jumps and did the best 360 flatty transfer from right to left that I’ve ever seen. Hope all is well with the knee.

I saw bunch of local dudes with pretty sweet rides and a bunch of Odyssey stuff, so thanks for all the support out there. I’m sure the comp will help inspire a bunch of kids to ride. Not many contests as big as Elevation go down there often, so all the kids were super psyched and getting autographs from all the riders which was good to see.

Check out Ride BMX for some photos and results.

I received an email informing me of a Gary Young interview on Woozy. Thanks Dom.
