Ride to Glory 2014

ride_to_glory_odyssey_day_0-5

Odyssey (and, well, everybody else) kicked off Ride to Glory today at Rom Skatepark. Pretty typical day 0 for us… the US guys flew in, the UK guys met up, and we all chilled. Heavy crew: Sean Sexton, Broc Raiford, Mike Taylor, Lloyd Wright and Matt Nordstrom are all here to ride and fire out challenges with reckless abandon. With Broc winning the flat rail challenge, we’re well on our way to complete and total challenge domination. – Walter Pieringer

Make sure to hit up the Ride UK Website for all the updates. Day 2 is a wrap and the crew is hitting up Bristol tomorrow.

Q&A:
Sean Sexton Injury Update

sean sexton, odyssey bmx

Sean (unfortunately) recently took one to the wrist, so we decided to hit him up about it. Get well soon bud!

Walter: So, Sean, you’ve gone and hurt yourself. What the hell happened?

Sean: I broke the radius bone and fractured a couple of the little bones in my wrist, like in the joint. So I had to get surgery a week later, and I have a plate and a few screws.

What were you doing?

I was in, I believe, St. Petersburg, Florida, but I could be wrong. Somewhere in that area. I was trying to 180 a rail hop that had kind of a little gap before it and about a seven-foot drop on the other side. First try went good, just kinda hopped a little too high and had to bail the 180. Then second try I clipped my back wheel and just got sent to my right side, and my arm took the brunt of it. It looked like it was a crinkled can [laughter]. Not too horrible, but it definitely looked broken, you know?

That actually sounds pretty horrible. So, how long are you gonna be out for?

Doctor said 6-8 weeks. I have an appointment tomorrow to get an evaluation, take a few X-rays and whatnot. I’ll know more after that.

That’s not too bad I guess in the grand scheme of things.

Nah; I hope that’s all it is.

So, what do the next 6-8 weeks have in store for you?

Just trying to get back to 100%, trying to not sit around too much. Gonna try to get around as much as possible, which has been easier the last couple of days because I’m not experiencing as much pain as before. But just trying to get back to where I can ride. Hopefully this doesn’t set me back too bad. Trying not to have idle hands for too long, you know? I actually couldn’t play video games at all because of the way my thumb works right now, with holding on to the controller, but I’ve kinda gotten used to it. Yeah, playing Xbox, watching every TV series that’s available right now [laughter], I’ve got a lot of good shows that are running current right now that I get to watch. Having friends come visit, getting out of the house, maybe grabbing a coffee or something like that. But yeah, a lot of sitting around. There’s not much you can do when you get hurt, you know? It just kinda forces you to sit in your house and be bored.

Cool. Well, we look forward to your return to the bike riding community.

Me too!

[RE-UP] Viva La Revolucion Video

In case you missed it when it first dropped, here’s a re-up of the Odyssey / Empire Viva La Revolucion video featuring Aaron Ross, Tom Dugan, Sean Sexton and Tom Smith.

Sean Sexton now Full Odyssey

I’m pleased to announce that Sean Sexton is now a full-Odyssey rider.

Sean has been on Odyssey flow since 2006 and Odyssey pro since 2010, but we’ve been “sharing” him with our friends at Cinema Wheel Co. Sean is awesome and naturally we want to do more with him, so we decided to step it up and make him full-Odyssey, so now he’s on our wheels, too. Well, if you want to get technical, Odyssey doesn’t make a freecoaster at the moment, so he’s mostly on our wheels. But, even more good news, we’ve been working on a new freecoaster design for the past six months, and Sean will be on a prototype very shortly. More details soon!

– Walter Pieringer, Odyssey TM

Odyssey Cufflink Grips

158mm Length
Flangeless
Soft & Durable
Ideal for all riding styles
Matching Par Ends included

Odyssey Sean Sexton "SXTN" Signature Stem

Sean is a fan of the top load stem, so we worked closely with him to fine tune his own. Sean’s stem is made from 6061 Aluminum, has minimal branding and will come with a 48mm reach. Odyssey pre-load bolts sit flush with stem when mounted correctly. Simple and clean.

Odyssey R32 Forks

New, custom, seamless, tapered, butted and specially formed leg tube shaping for improved grind and guard clearance.

>Odyssey Thunderbolt Cranks

Laboratory tested and team proven
Updated open-ended spindle cap
New wedge cluster band with greater flexibility
Never-Wobble™ crank arm and spindle interface guarantee
41-Thermal® lifetime replacement warranty against bending, cracking and breaking.

Odyssey Twisted PC Pedals

One of the most successful and popular pedals, and for good reason with its extremely simple, lightweight, inexpensive and famously durable plastic-bodied design. Available in a limitless supply of colors. Often duplicated but never replicated.

Odyssey Aerospace Rim

The Aerospace features an “aero”, or “V-shaped” cross-section, which creates a unique structural design. Made from 6000 series aluminum, it’s both easy to manufacture, incredibly durable and allows us to create a rim that’s strong, light and affordable. Thick inner sidewalls, and a lowered center wall section provide more room when installing or removing tires, and running brakes isn’t an issue.
