Here’s some more Chase Hawk footage lurking around on the web. This one comes in the form of a Vans advert, inter-spliced with riding and hip blasting inverts. He didn’t mention anything about rocket boosters being integrated into his shoes though so the source of his incredible boosting abilities still remains a vague mystery.
Subterranean Homesick Blues
I promise this will be our last X-Games 15 related post and guarantee you’ll like it more than the others. Here’s a little highlight reel featuring Gary Young, Chase Hawk and Aaron Ross. Although Aaron didn’t make it into the street finals, he still managed to throw down some of the hardest tricks of the day. Chase blasted around like usual and boosted one of the largest 180s ever and Gary Young plunged into the deep end as a setup to one of the park’s hardest transfer lines. Click play, then clap.
Terry’s Voodoo
Terry Adam’s annual Voodoo Jam happened this past weekend in New Orleans and here’s what he had to say about it:
The contest was awesome! I wound up getting 3rd place. We had over 600 people packed in the night club for the finals and the head to head battles went off! Thanks again for the product and support. We gave the top 3 from the amateur class all Odyssey and Flatware gear, so they were stoked for sure.

Congrats Gary!!!
X-Games Park finals happened this afternoon and Gary Young flowed the course so well that he didn’t even have to go upside down to get on the podium! He rode the course how it was meant to be ridden, with creative lines and fluid smoothness, earning him a spot in the top 3. Needless to say, everyone here at Odyssey is very happy for him. Congrats Gary!!!
Gary Young Bike Check
The orange is gone and flat black is back. He’s still rocking some flair though with the red tanwalls we introduced earlier this year and some blue G-Sports rims. Click around the flipbook above to check out what Gary’s riding at the X-Games!
extreme games fifteen
The big news from yesterday is Gary Young qualified 1st in X-Games park and Chase Hawk qualified 5th! They both flowed the course fast and boosted high. You can check out some clips of their runs in the video above from RideBMX.com.

Some sweet stuff popped up on the internet and in my inbox today. First on the list is a battle between Terry Adams and Shinichi Kiba at the last KOG comp in Japan. Some of the links and hops Terry does is unreal. Though the red flag in the end indicates he lost, the 360 hop he does shortly afterwards is dialed!
Next is a video for our Beta Bag made by our Russian distributor, Toy Bike. If you’re from that part of the globe and in the market for a nice bag, give them a ring. If you’re from the US, you’re in luck ’cause it’s in the closeout section of our online store!
The Ride to Glory trip is done and you can check out pics from Day 7 and the Final Day at the Ride UK site.
And finally, hit up Defgrip to get a glimpse of what’s in Aaron Ross’ iPod.

Ride UK has an Odyssey Day 6 update on their site, so make sure to check it out for some pics. According to various internet sources, I guess the crew was out riding till 3AM the previous evening! If you’re in the mood to be jealous, this is what they’re currently riding (via @sundaybikes).
Also, here’s the prize package we put together for the trip.
Fluorescent Yellow!
We just received a bunch of new Fluorescent Yellow parts again. Aaron Ross Spacebars, Classic Race Forks, Classic Dirt Forks and Director Forks can now be purchased in the world’s most popular highlighter color.
