Jimmy Levan’s plate. Photo by Jeff Z from Ride BMX

The Nike Lightning Bolts show happened a couple nights ago and a handful of Odyssey guys had plates in it. You can check out galleries of the event over at the Vital and Ride BMX websites.

Vital also has a video up where Jimmy Levan, Taj Mihelich and Jim Bauer talk about their plates:

If you’re wondering who that girl is in Jimmy Levan’s plate, here’s a YouTube link.

In the music section of Transworld Skate (January 2009)

We spotted Chris Cole wearing an Odyssey shirt in the latest Transworld Skateboarding issue. It’s pretty cool seeing people outside of the BMX industry wearing our threads, especially a two time X-Games gold medalist. Thanks for the love!

BMX Union just put up an interview of Mr. George French. If you’d like to learn more about one of the guys behind G-Sport / Odyssey, make sure to check it out.

Remember those Glow in the Dark Twisted PCs we showed you during Interbike? Well, they’re available now and you can get in touch with your local shop or mail order to get your hands on a pair.

Shops can contact our distributors to stock up.

Ever since we posted the “Custom” Chase Hawk wheels the other day, I have been getting calls/emails from people trying to order them as a stock option, which does not exist. Jim Bauer custom built them for Chase.

We know they look rad, but if you wish to run the “Chase Hawk” wheels, you will need to purchase the Hard Anodize Red Hazard lite rims, Red Vandero 2 hub and Red Odyssey after market spokes and have that hotness built up. All of which is available now.

Once you do, you will be stylin!!!!

If you need a hint, it’s floating around somewhere else on the internet…

EDIT: The photo gets larger now when you click it.
As a bonus guessing game, which smiley face is bigger?

Here’s a few random photos to check out:

2.) Jim Bauer’s number plate for the Lightning Bolt show (previews at Defgrip).
3.) Grey Boy rocking some Odyssey threads.

Kurt’s rockin’ black with Purple Rain these days and it’s looking pretty sweet.

There are two events going on this weekend. One is in Springfield, MO and the other is in Costa Rica. Hit up the jump for the full flyers.
