Vans – “Illustrated” Gary Young Section

May 12, 2017

Vans kicking your Friday off right! They have just uploaded Gary Young‘s section from their “Illustrated” DVD online for your viewing pleasure. As you should expect from Gary by now, he goes to work on everything he comes across from street spots and skateparks to pools and ditches with plenty of speed, style and an eye for a unique spot most people wouldn’t be able to ride or even consider. Gary logged some serious miles for this video part and it shows because the spots he rides are so good. He even checks a few clips off his personal bucket list. Get on that play button because this is a MUST SEE!

“Gary Young steps his game up for one of his most insane video parts to date with footage from all over the world and spots that didn’t seem possible to ride. This Nora Cup nominated video part carries a heavy vibe and even heavier tricks for the San Diego native who only gets stronger with age.

Odyssey Travel Tool

May 11, 2017

Let’s take a closer look at the new Odyssey Travel Tool!

Are you on the hunt for a new BMX Tool that is compact and has everything you need packed into a small multi-tool? We have had a couple different options from brands over the years with their own twist on just how to get everything you need to dial your bike into a small, easy to carry package.

It looks like Odyssey have decided to give it a go and design their own multi-tool for you to travel with. The Odyssey Travel Tool has everything you need to dial in your bike whether it’s just tightening up some bolts before your session or you need to break your bike down to fit it into a travel bag for a flight. This tool features a fold out design like a Swiss Army Knife for your bike, with 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm hex wrenches, a 17mm deep socket, 15mm and 17mm spanners (pedal wrench) and a full-length arm to give you plenty of leverage when cranking down those bolts on your bike. This has everything you need in a clean and easy to use tool that doesn’t require any assembly or break down like some of the other tools out there.

The Odyssey Travel Tool is available through BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide now and comes in black only. Take a closer look below.

Here’s a look at the tool completely folded in. Small, compact and easy to use or carry around.

You can find small, clean laser etched logos on the side and the arm of the 17mm socket.
