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.

Merritt – Louisville Skatepark Stop

December 17, 2015

A little while back, some of the Merritt crew rolled through the Louisville park for a session. It’s crazy that we don’t see much from this park anymore thanks to the construction going on all around it, but luckily we get a look at what Brandon Begin, Marcas Grubbs, Tony Hamlin and Justin Care threw down during their visit! Hit play on that BMX video to take in some damn good riding. Tony Hamlin absolutely crushes the place!

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!”

Mat Stiehl 2015

December 17, 2015

Canada has been on fire with BMX videos lately. Not sure what’s going on up there, but we’re loving it. Here’s a heavy one from the streets featuring Mat Stiehl putting his pegs to heavy use on everything he could get them on as of lately around Ontario and a few other places! Real good watch!

“Mat Stiehl engineered some elegant technical variations for the fuckclowns at Team Luxury this year, despite being smothered by a team full of unmotivated alcoholics. Mat wreaked havoc on the streets and possibly even some of the girls on the corners in his 2015 street edit. Brace yourself for just over 2 minutes of 4 peg tomfuckery and pure murder of many spots around his local retreat in Eden Mills and the rest of southern Ontario.

December 17, 2015

We caught a look at the Flatland Tricky App a few weeks back. It’s now available now on iTunes for FREE. Above is video review that Diversion TV’s Bobby Carter put together giving you a look at how it all works and some of the special features. All in all, it looks like an excellent learning tool that can have some serious benefits to up and coming and existing flatland riders. Check it out!

“THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL EVER CREATED FOR FLATLAND!!!

Quentin Pelorson in France teamed up with a new technology startup with 4D technology and created Flatland Tricky App. With this app, riders can watch tricks performed from any angle. If you want flatland to grow tell everyone interested in learning tricks to download this app. It is the next best thing to having a personal instructor with you at the riding spot.
