April 9, 2012

Odyssey Tomahawk

Flash back a few years and my eyes laid on the Terrible One Cyclops stem. Something about the design left me just drooling. I waited and waited and… well, I heard it’s almost ready now. However, about 9 months back, I caught my first look at Chase Hawk’s signature Odyssey Tomahawk stem. It had a similar look to the Cyclops and offered up some unique features that were similar to the Elementry stem that I was always pretty fond of. I figured it was definitely something I’d like to give a go. So, I ordered one up when it was released and have been giving it a go for about two months now. Let’s take a closer look and find out what I thought.

Bobbie Altiser on Colony

April 8, 2012

Remember the other day in that interview with Tree about them discontinuing frames to benefit their team riders? Well, Bobbie Altiser is the first to get a fresh frame sponsor. Here’s a few words from Clint Millar about Bobbie joining < target="_blank" href="http://www.colonybmx.com.au">Colony.

“We have a new addition to the flow team with Bobbie Altiser joining the ranks for us over in the USA.

I am pretty stoked myself to have another fellow front brake rider on the team. Bobbie always have a fresh approach with his riding which is always welcome. He is moving to Long Beach in the next few weeks so there should be a lot more of his riding getting seen very soon. We will also have a full bike check in the next few days, so check back for that soon.

Once again, welcome to the team mate !!”
