It should be common knowledge by now that Justin Simpson is a beast on a bike. These photos were shot shortly after a heavy session went down on that rainbow rail behind him. Click around the flipbook to see how his Mutiny Loosefer is setup.
We’re dropping our latest ODSY Vision tomorrow, so start guessing in the comments on what went down at this spot!

Feb 12, 2011 • Bike Checks, Team Jim Cielencki bike check & update
Jim C has a pretty sweet bike check and photo gallery up over at ESPN. In it, he talks about his 24″ Model C and what it’s like riding it and switch back and forth between the 20″.
I know you ride your Sunday cruiser more than a regular 20″ bike nowadays. Is there a specific reason for this? To be honest, I go back and forth between the 20″ and 24″ throughout the year. I run a BMX bike company, so I should have experience in both bikes. Before I started riding this bike in October, I rode my 20″ for a whole year straight. For me, it’s difficult to switch between the two just because the 24″ makes the 20″ feel small. The main reason why I ride the 24″ is that I like the idea of taking something you already know how to do and making it different. It’s like riding bigger stair sets or steeper rails, you want the challenge of taking something you already know and making it different or more difficult.
