Sorry for the lack of updates, but we are finally back from Europe.
Video coming soon, but for now here are some pictures from our first day and last day on the trip, our arrival and departure country, France.
Mike Aitken, Adam Banton, Matt Beringer, Ben Foakes(UK), Scott Foster, James Hitchcox(UK), Jimmy Le Van, Fraser “fraggle”Peek, and Gary Young tore up France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. It tore us up right back…

With Jim and the rest of the Odyssey team still on a roadtrip through France, here is whats going on here.
The new Monolevers have arrived and are shipping out to distributors as we speak. Small, Medium and Trigger style Monolevers (check archive for photos)will be arriving in better shops and mailorders in the upcoming weeks. i beleive everyone on the team is running some form of Monolever because the calls have started coming in from non team members for one, so im sure these are going to take over.
Also, be sure to check out the upcoming issue of Transworld BMX (with the crazy Ruben cover) for a little Q and A with Gary Young. And while your at it, you can hang up the awesome Odyssey Jim Cielencki/Matt Beringer poster that comes with it.
Enjoy!
“For 15 years, American-made S&M Pitchforks have set the strength and reliability standards by which all other forks are judged…”
Until 1999, when Odyssey introduced the 41-Thermal process. Now, five years later, every company in BMX, including S&M, is pursuing “lightweight” forks and “heat-treated” tubing in hopes of reaching the precedent set by the same company that once brought you products as ridiculous as the Barefeet Tire and the Leading Edge saddle in the mid 1980
Nobody really likes public transport. We would all rather drive ourselves to our destination. Door to door with our own timetable and agenda. Unfortunately there is a flip side to this. I am not talking about congested roads or the coming apocalypse of global warming. No. Simply that nobody likes public transport and public transport doesn’t like us…. If you don’t believe me go down to the railway station and ask for a ticket to say London. You may at first think that the guy at the counter is trying to guess your mobile phone number but no, that really is the price he expects you to pay! Now turn to him and tell him you want to take a bicycle with you. He may openly laugh in your face so brace yourself and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Here is a sneek peek at the new “DIRT PATH” tire.
The “DIRT PATH” is similar in design to our regular PATH tire, but is a bit beefier and knobier for dirt.
A big plus for the DIRT PATH is that it will have, unlike most front dirt tires, dual ply sidewalls. This means the sidewalls will hold up better than other dirt tires from street/grinding wear and tear.
The DIRT PATH will come in a 20×2.2 size only, and should be available by the end of July, so start saving up now.
Ryan Sher and I were in a race/rally to Vegas. Starting in Hollywood and ending in Miami, we went on the Hollywood to Vegas leg. It was pretty crazy, some guys flew thier cars over from europe. Rich people have to do some crazy things to have fun. I wasn’t as much a race as an excuse to drive fast and party at the stops everynight. We did get to drive on a race course, it was nuts.
We drove Ryans Trans Am.
Enjoy.
