Chase Hawk OFF of Odyssey

December 17, 2015

Wait… WHAT!? Chase Hawk and Odyssey have parted ways! No word on if the decision came from Odyssey’s end or Chase’s, but this is definitely some surprising news! Does Chase has a new opportunity lined up? We would imagine there has to be a reason behind this one and if he doesn’t yet, we’re sure he will very soon. We’ll keep you posted! Talk about a mind blower…

Update: Ride BMX got ahold of Chase to get his word on the news…

“Just got off the phone with Chase and he confirmed that he was caught off guard by the move, citing that he was merely told that he wasn’t putting much effort into working with Odyssey, but he was quick to point out that he’s been putting a lot of effort into filming for the Etnies video. Overall, Chase wanted to convey that while he’s bummed that it was just another bump in the road and that he’ll be full-blown Cult now. He’s looking forward to having everything under one roof and bringing out some additional signature parts through Cult.” – Ride BMX

Product: Odyssey – Vintage Military Canvas Seat

December 17, 2015

To go along with the Chase Hawk Vintage Military Seat, the crew at Odyssey have another option available in the same material for those of you looking for a little more padding. The Vintage Military Canvas seat is available in Tripod and Pivotal versions. The Pivotal version is similar in size and shape to Odyssey’s Principal seat which features a larger padding that wraps around the base of the seat with a custom Pivotal base that is re-inforced for additional strength. The Tripod version features a wider base and plenty of padding to keep you comfortable whether you’re sitting or throwing the bars.

Both versions use the same Vintage Military Canvas material that was sourced from downtown Los Angeles and have an “ODSY” patch sewn on. These BMX seats are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now.

Scotty Cranmer – Street Mission 1

December 17, 2015

The weather has been pretty nice this winter in comparison to past years. Scotty Cranmer and the rest of the crew decided to take advantage of some nice weather to cruise around a plaza for a while. Here’s their webisode that came from the day. Catching some riding, a Ronnie Surridge melt down, a hang five contest and more!

“So it was a gorgeous day on the verge of a long cold winter so we decided to get some out door riding in while we had the chance! Me, Ronnie Surridge, Matty Cranmer, and The Big Boy rode around a plaza in Lakewood, NJ and found some really fun stuff to ride! I made a deal with Ronnie, if he didn’t grind a rail he had to wash my GT-R! Ronnie had a melt down and I recorded the whole thing! we had a hang five competition and Big Boy did the longest fakie ever past a cop! It was a blast and I hope you guys enjoy it!”
