Red Bull – Panos Manaras In Dubai

March 31, 2016

There’s a number of places in the world that have become common travel destinations for BMX riders over the years. Places like Austin, Texas and Barcelona, Spain come to mind pretty munch instantly. It would appear that Dubai is another one of those places that we can expect to start seeing more and more as time goes on thanks to the insane architecture the city has and the dialed new Dubai Skatepark that makes an appearance in this video. Oh, and Dubai’s travel commission is a sponsor for Simple Session, too, so they must want us to come there, right?. Red Bull‘s Panos Manaras decided it was time to find out just what this place had to offer and made a trip over. Check out some amazing riding on some incredible spots, along with some bonus footage from what he got into off his bike.

Speaking of Dubai… Did you ever see that crazy Ken Block Gymkhana video from Dubai?

Nowear BMX – Worlds Longest Toothpick Stall Challenge

March 31, 2016

A few years back, Ryan Nyquist posted up a super long toothpick that lead to a few others trying to beat it. We honestly forgot about that video going around until Karl Hinkley from Nowear hit us with a link to this new video of him beating all the records on the Nowear Compound ramp. Anyone think they can beat this? Let us know.

“Recently while on the internet we stumbled across a post on Vital from 2010 with Nyquist doing a 2.45 min long Toothpick stall. They requested others to show what they got. Shortly after they posted a kid with the worlds longest stall at 4:25. We decided to have some fun with it. Here displayed is a 4 min 50 second toothpick stall. This video was made with a few of us having fun looking to inspire so many of our friends that we know with crazy amounts of front end skills. So how about it dudes, let’s see just how long your toothpick stall skills are and just how far we can take this.
Video was shot at the Nowear Compound in Nebraska where we offer a full bike park welcome to any BMXers anytime. Message us when traveling through to set up a session. We are here to give riders a place to go and grow bmx. Have fun and stay rad.”

March 30, 2016

We first caught wind of the four piece bars that Odyssey have been working on back in September during Interbike 2015. Now, we get a look at their brand new 49er bars that are available now. These bars are made from multi-butted 4130 chromoly with a butted 7/8″ crossbar, large radius bends for additional strength, welded end caps to help reduce flex and a post-weld heat-treatment for even more strength. The 49er bars come with a 9″ rise, 29″ width, 12-degrees of backsweep and 1.5-degrees of upsweep.

These bars are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now in black only.
