Wallpaper madness! Here are three new ones for you to pick from. If you happen to be sitting in a computer lab (or have a printer handy), open up this PDF version of the Aaron Ross ad and print it out. Tape it up somewhere and shoot a photo of it. Then, e-mail the photo to aaron-ross-is-awesome(at)odysseybmx[dot]com or add it to the Odyssey Flickr Group.
Our new spokes use butting dimensions that are tailor-made for BMX racing, and they’re still strong enough to handle some light street riding too. You’ll save roughly an ounce per wheel on 36’s. Only the best stainless steel has been used, and the gradual butting transitions are ideal for the stresses that a 20″ wheel has to endure.
» Proprietary professional-grade stainless steel.
» BMX specific butting transition dimensions.
» 184, 186, 188, 192mm.
» Black or silver.

This time it’s the Twilight Contest. Visit Global-Flat for more info. There’s a 2 minute edit of the event after the read more link.
The other recent big news is there’s a Vigilantia preview over at MikeAitken.com. Things are moving and they should be available very soon. Outside of Vigilantia, Mike’s recovery is moving forward and it looks like he’s on the road to getting his full vision back! Full details over at his site.

Earlier today, I was trying to track down the online scan of Jimmy Levan jumping the Austin Church Gap and came up empty handed. I was bummed… but then this interview popped up at DigBMX.com.
EDIT: The photo’s in there now, along with a better, non-sequence photo of the trailer gap! What a great way to start the day. Thanks Will!

When not breaking collarbones, Nuno‘s been tearing up the trails lately on a Sunday Model D. Jim Cielencki put up his bike check the other day over at Sunday Bikes and there were a handful of extra photos. Instead of letting them collect gigadust in my harddrive, we decided to do an overspill. In case you didn’t know, silver’s the new black and it’s bringing sexy back. The previous sentence may or may not be deleted with time.
