After receiving a bunch of phone calls and e-mails about this, we’ve got to say that we’re flattered (and a little confused) by the profound influence that Adam Banton’s BETA Bag seems to have had over Carhartt Europe’s latest backpack.

Check out Mike Aitken styling through the Long Island trails during the Fox trip.

Thanks to Ted Stachnick for the photos.

Chase Hawk’s got the cover of the next Ride BMX. Congrats!

Jim Cielencki’s Hey Man Woo! part HERE.
Wait for it to load.

The new Props also showed up today. It features a QBP roadtrip which is really good, and Adam Banton represents for us. QBP is one of our distributors here in the states, and they pulled off a pretty rad trip featuring a rider from each of the BMX companies they distribute.

Gary Young also has a rad interview/bio in there with really good footage, including that wild ditch pipe jump that was in Ride a few issues back.

Check for those.

Blackout and QBP should have them in stock. International Distributors should be getting them sometime in the next few weeks. Or you can visit the Odyssey store to buy them direct here.

Details:
Same length and thread as the old stock Monkey and Marmoset 3/8″ bolts but with a head to take a 17mm socket (rather than the old 9/16″). This allows you to use the same socket you use for your cassette hub. Broached the centre for a 6mm Allen Key.

Chase and Mike Gave their bikes to the locals in South Africa. Here is Chase’s new whip. I just realized he gave away prototype TrailMix pedals. Lucky kid over there…..

Jeremy Murray is doing limited edition prints of ICONS OF BMX. It makes perfect sense that his first subject is Taj. This is the perfect thing to frame and replace your wrinkled Reservoir Dogs poster. No girls will date you with beat posters in you living room. Step up your game and get some real art.

Taj has signed all of these which may or may not be a feature in future editions.

The posters are 18×24 handmade silk screened prints that are on heavy french paper stock.

Choose from maroon over light blue or blue over green.

Head over to Empire to purchase these if its your stylo.

When the “black denim series” ad hit, people started asking us if we were making jeans. While we had a good laugh at that thought, it is not true.

The picture above shows our new Limited Black Denim Series of saddles, which include the Junior, Senior, Veteran and Aitken. The Aitken version did not make this shipment, but will be here soon.

The Black Denim Junior, Senior and Veteran saddles are shipping now to our distributors, and will be available in shops/mailorders within a few weeks.

Please contact your local shop for info, and/or to lock one down.
