Odyssey – Preston Okert Welcome To AM

May 29, 2019

Preston Okert has been given the bump up to the Odyssey AM team! The past two years or so, Preston has been on absolute FIRE taking his speed and style to everything he comes across. This video is a clear indicator of just why Odyssey gave him the well deserved move up the ladder toward the Pro team. Hit play and take it all in!

“Odyssey is stoked to welcome Preston Okert to the AM team! Preston rides everything and is up for anything. He’s a rare breed of all-terrain shredder whose top-notch skills and consistently good attitude make him an easy choice for any trip. He even dropped everything to get on a plane to Australia last month with less than 24 hours notice despite a new job and being 100 miles from an airport without his car…. He made it happen and of course killed it down under. Here’s the master of all-terrain himself Gary Young’s take:

“Preston has back-wheel boogied himself into the hearts of all those around him. His positivity, long smooth lines, and creativity have made him an absolute pleasure to share the deck with. I look forward to seeing where he continues to push his technical and often effortless-looking riding in the years to come.”

Tom Dugan is a big Preston fan too: “I’m looking forward to the long and steezy road ahead of this soon-to-be cold-cut savage. We breaking him in don’t worry!” Couldn’t have said it better myself. –Walter Pieringer.

Vert Mission 2019

May 29, 2019

It’s not every day that we get a Vert video to check out. The crew at Our BMX dropped by the Vert Mission 2019 contest that Mat Hoffman threw in San Diego. Here’s a video filled with highlights from the riding to some insight from a handful of familiar faces discussing the current status of Vert from its popularity. It’s not as common as it used to be due to the lack of the number of vert ramps, but it’s safe to say it’s alive and well. Just watching this contest, it would be awesome to see more of these happening since it could very well re-energize this side of BMX. This contest looked awesome.

“A vert event is few and far between these days, but it just so happened that Mat Hoffman decided to throw his Vert Mission event in San Diego. An X Games qualifying event, Vert Mission, gives the top three riders their time to shine at the biggest event in the world. I went out there the day before the event during practice in hopes of filming a “favorite rider” video with DMC and Hoffman, but also had the idea to get the opinions of the dudes riding the event on the state of vert riding… So here’s their answers mixed in with the contest footage and some random banter in between. In no way do I think vert is dead.” – Our BMX
