Our boy Ryan Fudger from Ride BMX came out to our anniversary jam this weekend and banged out this rad video from the day.

Thanks to everyone who came out and congrats again to Matt Nordstrom for the Odyssey and FIT pro bump.

Enjoy!

Tom Dugan’s  Grandstand pedals are all about feel. When we set out to design a new pedal we knew what we wanted and we didn’t want to compromise. Slim pedals feel great because they put your foot closer to the axle which makes it more stable and easier to grip (imagine bolting a block of wood to the top of your pedal and having to balance on that). Dual concave gives a great feeling for your foot and helps keep you centered on the pedal. It lets you push the bike in any direction like the concave of a skateboard. Ergonomics dictate that the pedal should be big enough that your foot sits in the middle of the concave, so the pedal needs to be wide enough for that too. And of course we wanted a strong axle. And we wanted it to be affordable.

We could have done what most companies do and pick an off the shelf pedal design and make some minor changes to the body shape, but this would have meant big compromises. Most slim pedals either compromise on axle diameter to save space, or they fake being thin by incorporating a big bulge for the bearings that ruins the concave and reduces the pressure on the pins and so compromises grip.

So instead we had to start from scratch and design our own unique new bearing and axle system that would keep a big 14mm axle but allow for a thin body.

After a lot of work we have successfully created a wide platform with a perfect dual concave that feels exceptional as soon as you set foot on it. Your foot hits the pins and then settles down into the concave with an even pressure all round. This attention to detail pays off and all of our pro riders have been after them since the first samples came in.

Features

• Genuinely Thin Body:
  17mm at center with uninterrupted dual concave.
• Foot-sized 105mm wide.
• Full Size 14mm heat-treated axle with 17mm wrench flats and 6mm broach.
• Black or Clear plastic bodies with 8 oversize plastic pins per side.
• Aluminum version with steel pins coming soon.
• 9/16” only.

Nuno and Jim swung by the TCU compound recently for their latest episode of TCU TV. They cover a range of things, so hit play and enjoy!

I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Matt Nordstrom to the Odyssey pro team.

Matt has been on our AM team for more than two years now, and in that time his riding has progressed by leaps and bounds. He’s been busting his ass and put out two outstanding video sections for Odyssey, most recently the banger section in our new 30•15 video (that goes live on Friday!)

But just as importantly, Matt’s got one of the most positive attitudes of anybody I know, and everybody on the team is stoked to ride and travel with him. I’ve been all over the world with Matt for the past couple years, and I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble we’ll get into now that Matt is an even bigger part of what we’ve got going on.

Bottom line, Matt is stoked on what we’re doing, and we’re stoked on Matt, so moving him up to the pro team was the only way to go. Matt is a great kid with great parents and a great pup, and we’re proud he’s a part of Odyssey.
