New heat from Germany’s Mo Nussbaumer. Enjoy!
“I spent last winter in Barcelona and got some clips every now and then in between sessions with the boys. The Berlin clips where filmed during several visits to Berlin. Special thanks to Daniel Tünte, Nando Laczko, Jay Roe and Sebi Messerer for filming and Wethepeople, Odyssey(Sport Import) and Nike for the support.”
Hit play to check out some new moves from our boy Matt!
We hope everyone had as much fun riding street this summer as Justin did. This new video part he wrapped up starts off heavy, and ends even heavier. Enjoy.

Regular sessions on the T-1 ramp has undeniably helped Dugan perfect his ability to roast. Click on over to DIG for Tom’s thoughts on one of the most iconic backyard ramps in BMX.
Chase Krolicki is the newest member of the Odyssey squad. One of Michigan’s finest, Chase first popped up on most people’s radar after his standout part in The Michigan Video in 2014. At the beginning of this year Chase spent a few weeks out in SoCal and hung out with some of the Odyssey team. He made a good impression on our guys and the video he filmed while he was out there made a good impression on just about everybody who saw it, so getting him involved with Odyssey made a lot of sense.
When I asked Travis Hughes what he thought about Chase, he said “He is literally my favorite person.” Can’t ask for a much more glowing recommendation than that, and the rest of us at Odyssey are excited to find out exactly why everybody’s so hyped. Everybody follow @chasekrolicki and expect more from this guy soon!
YES!!!! Travis Hughes doing it for Kink PRO. Congrats!

At Odyssey we have always looked for ways to improve the parts that we use. Better parts can make your riding more enjoyable and allow you to ride longer, and the same thing can be said for the equipment that’s not directly bolted to your bike. It goes without saying that wearing a helmet is almost always a good decision, whether it’s because a skatepark demands it, or just because you’ve realized that being sidelined with an injury is not worth the time and hassle. After 30 years in BMX we’ve seen what can happen when people aren’t wearing safety gear, and because of this we’re always thinking of new ways to reduce the possible chance of injuries. Whenever we’ve discussed helmets in the past we were often discouraged to see so many people wearing designs that are little more than basic hard hats; meaning that they provide all the fit-related inconvenience of a helmet while providing only minimal protection against actual injuries.
Developing our own helmet from scratch seemed like a big undertaking for us as a component-driven company, so we began talking directly with helmet manufacturers. Our experience has shown us that most of the stock helmets out there are very basic and traditional, and for the most part they have only embraced some minor technical advancements during the last 20 years. As our research continued we quickly discovered Kali Protectives, a brand that has a passion for technical advancement that’s a lot like our own. Kali’s R&D team are constantly looking at what they can do to make helmets safer, thinner and more comfortable. The more we learned, the more we liked, so went to talk to them and soon found that we were both on a similar wavelength when it came to focusing on the helmet’s safety, fit and durability. As a result of this meeting, we are very pleased to offer Kali’s proven and cutting edge technology in our new VIVA collaboration helmet.
THE TECH:
Kali’s patented Composite Fusion Three technology molds the shock-absorbing foam layer directly into the hard outer shell. This means that the shell and the foam work together as a uniform composite structure rather than as two separate elements. This makes for a more efficient construction, so the bulkiness of the helmet can be reduced, while the amount of protection offered by the design increases.
The result of this technology is that Kali can make helmets that offer more protection, while also being both smaller and more comfortable. By partnering with Kali Protectives we are now able to bring these technological advances to BMXers at a similar price to ordinary low-tech helmets. We’re confident that you’ll be as impressed with the Viva as we were.
Helmets available now at $54.99 retail. Dealers please contact Full Factory Distro.
