Odyssey is pleased to announce the launch of our Flatware Series. We will be working directly with Terry Adams, Chase Gouin and other riders on an all-encompassing line of products dedicated strictly to flatland, and we will also be helping them with special custom-made frames. Flatware will be launching throughout 2009. Check the Daily Word for updates and a detailed run-through of the line soon.

“I have had such a great experience having Odyssey as a sponsor this year. Working with them on all the new flatland products has seriously been a dream for me. I have always wanted to work with a company to help the future of flatland by providing great products. Having Odyssey by my side is truly an honor. With that said, they have asked me to come on board to represent their new series of products, Flatware. I was more than excited to accept the offer and work with Odyssey on the Flatware Series that will include a frame, forks, bars, cranks, pedals, pegs and much more! Look forward to some great products to come. Let the Flatware begin!” – Terry Adams

“Odyssey has always been an excellent sponsor and has never failed to support me and my riding. I have been patiently persisting to push the idea of more flatland specific products from Odyssey, so when they told me about Flatware, I knew that they had committed to take a dedicated approach to flatland. This was great news in general, but also to me personally, since I look forward to being able to use even more of their products. Everyone involved will be working hard to make sure that riders around the world will be thoroughly satisfied with the function and dependability of the new Flatware line. I’m happy to be a part of it.” – Chase Gouin

There’s an interview with Nuno over at DeluxeBMX.com. Along with the interview are some great portraits and riding photos. Make sure to check it out.

Give D! premiered their Summer of Rot video at our booth during Interbike this year and the turn out was phenomenal. Great vibes all around… except for the fitness booth next door. They threatened to hire 6 security guards and make Alex pay the bill due to the over-spill of Give D! supporters.

You can check out the trailer in the ODSY TV to the right and Alex has a handful of other photos from the premiere, so stay tuned for those.

Oh and one more thing, Kurt Hohberger over at BMXUnion.com put up a review of the video.

Aaron Ross, notorious chocolate almond eater and occasional provider of autographs for iPhones, talks about his Spacebar. It’s much more fun than the computer equivalent version and it comes in blue.

Jim Bauer, art director and known diet-coke beverage drinker, paid a visit to Shakespeare’s Pub a while ago and exclusive evidence has recently been made public. Watch the video above to witness the insanity which quickly unfolded. Whether or not he paid his tab prior to his hasty exit is still unconfirmed.
