Head over to The Union for a comprehensive review on our new Springfield Brake!
Jared Swafford update
Our flow rider Jared Swafford is off to Arizona today for a FIT trip. I caught up with him this afternoon and shot a couple of quick snaps before he packed his bike up.
Jared either did a huge air and is about to hang sprocket, or he’s doing a crazy steep pedal disaster. You decide.
Double peg to hard whip. Sure seems hard to me.
J.F. Boulianne – Video Bike Check
We shot this video a couple weeks after our Texas Toast Jam. JF hopped in the van with us on the way back to California and ended up spending quite a bit of time out here. If you’re ever driving down PCH near Zuma beach, keep your eyes peeled on the parking lots by the coast. You might just catch a heavy flatland sesh going down.
JF’s home in Montreal now and nursing some cracked ribs. Once he heals up though, it’s a guaranteed bet he’ll be hitting the road again. In the mean time, here’s his bike check along with a couple clips. Enjoy :)
Sean photos
Sean has been out riding in Austin the past couple of days putting the finishing touches on his upcoming Kink DVD part. We shot these two photos, along with a banger one you’ll have to wait a little longer to see. . . .
270 whip at the skatepark warmup sesh
180 up
Keep your eyes peeled for more Sean updates soon.

Walter Pieringer – New Odyssey TM
January 15, 2013 (Norwalk, California)
Odyssey has had the opportunity to work closely with Walter Pieringer throughout the years in various ways. We have always been a fan of his photography, video work, ability to orchestrate projects and most importantly, his professional work ethic. With all that said, we are happy to welcome Walter aboard as the new Odyssey TM.
Walter has a proven track record and will continue to coordinate his unique brand of content with the Odyssey crew. Furthermore, Walter will also be working in a similar capacity with our stable of brands: Sunday, GSport & Flatware. We are all excited for 2013 and beyond.
Here is what some of our team riders had to say:
“Hell Yeah!! Walter knows best, trust me.”
– Tom Dugan
“That guy is multi-talented, in many ways. And he is a good dude.”
– Eric Lichtenberger
“Couldn’t be more stoked, I have a good friend as my new team manager. Looking forward to continuing to travel and work together more!”
– Aaron Ross
“Walter is one of those individuals that happens to be amazing at whatever he puts his mind to. Giving him the reigns to guide the Full Factory teams is going to be an adventure to say the least. I am excited to be a part of it.”
– Gary Young
Oh yeah…. http://telly.com/YEASB
The Nuno Oliveira Interview
Although he’s only physically wearing one hat in this photo, do not let that mislead you! We all wear many hats in this company and Nuno‘s no exception. He’s essential to keeping Odyssey running like a well oiled machine and we’re psyched he has a comprehensive interview on Orange Juice.

If the photo looks familiar, maybe you’re remembering the clip from our Palm Springs Team Retreat.
Ed Zunda – Hawaiian Holiday / edited by Janis Cunculis
Ed Zunda and Janis Cunculis (filmer/editor) put together the winning entry for The Hunt’s 2012 Gold Rush. As part of their prize package, the two riders from Latvia won a trip to Hawaii to chill at the beach and enjoy some riding done around town. As a souvenir, they brought back this video for us to watch! Also part of the winning prize, Ed will now be getting flow from Odyssey. Thanks guys and congratulations!
