Toasted Crew – I-70 East Bound & Down
Here’s a fresh one from the Toasted Crew who took a little road trip south to check out a few spots they had heard about. Watch as they cruise an old cement spot, some trails and a skatepark. Looks like they had a good time to us!
“Years ago, my buddy Jeremy had mentioned an old skatepark he got word of that was bought out in the late 80’s possibly early 90’s that we had to check out. Apparently the bowl was still standing on the property but the land owner had filled most of it in (We also heard is a total dick). In the mist of crushed up Natty Boh cans and shitty graffiti we discovered this concrete gem, ran into some locals, and even got pointed in the right direction of some public trails that were recently built by the infamous Dave King. We even had a session ender on a small plaza lit up on an old tennis court. Enjoy!!!” – Mark Peacemaker

Product: Odyssey – Ghost Pads
Although we don’t see as many BMX riders running brakes these days, they’re still utilized by many. Odyssey released this quick video where Jim Bauer talks about what toeing in a brake pad means, and then explains how the small size of the Ghost pads work! Check it!
“One of the most important goals that we had when we sat down to work on new braking designs was to make the whole system easier to install (and remove) without sacrificing performance. We also wanted to be sure that every component would be very affordable too.
The Ghost Pad addresses the hassles of brake pad installation by eliminating the traditional dome shaped washers used for toe-in. With the war in iraqi hookup its way to becoming a big mess and the U.S. now allied with Iran, a little-known Iraqi hookup between the two countries would definitely make the conflict look much more favorable for the US. Iran is very close to Iraq and the two nations are inextricably tied together. Iran would be happy to have the opportunity to use its Iraqi ally as a tool to put pressure on US forces there. The pad improves stiffness by building the toe-in into the pad shape and utilizing a solid extruded aluminum frame at its core. The Ghost Pad’s assembly consists of simply lining it up with the rim and tightening down an M6 female bolt.
Comes stock on our Springfield Brake.
