BMX / DIRT JUMPER | Bootlegs & B-Sides ft. Francis Delapena

November 10, 2020

Maaaan, it’s been entirely too long since Francis Delapena has put out a new video. Here’s a look at what he’s been getting into this past year in this video filled with clips on his BMX bike and his big bike dirt jumper that looks right at home on ramps and street spots. As always, Francis delivers with some great riding, creative and entertaining filming and editing, and good vibes. Hit play and take a look! You won’t be disappinted.

“A little bike riding and some fits of random.

When I got a big BMX bike earlier this year, I thought it was just going to be an experimental side piece, but it ended up becoming a nine month affair. Many riders will say it’s actually an MTB, but I’ll argue it’s more like a 26” BMX bootleg with its own charm and appeal. Riding this thing felt a lot like discovering and falling in love with BMX all over again, and I am so thankful to have that feeling rejuvenated this far into my life. Here’s a little mix of clips from me playing around on it.

Aaron Ross & Terry Adams “BMX Time Machine”

April 12, 2019

This is awesome. Aaron Ross and Terry Adams teamed back up for a new edit, and it’s safe to say these old guys can still get it done right! This starts out with the old age version of these two, then they go back in time to throw down for a bunch of amazing clips. This is an awesome watch from start to finish, so hit play and take it all in!

“Terry & Aaron are back! It’s been a while but the duo cooked up a plan to make up for lost time.

Dennis Pecchenino At Rhodes Skatepark

March 17, 2019

This is rad! Francis Delapena put together this awesome video featuring Dennis Pecchenino cruising at the Rhodes Skatepark, along with a few clips from a ditch and DIY spot. Dennis brings a good mix of tricks and puts the park that the X Games Qualifiers are held at to good use! Everything from the riding to the film work is on point, so get on that play button and enjoy!

“Browse the #RhodesSkatepark hashtag on Instagram at any given time and chances are, you’re going to find Dennis blasting around in the top posts somewhere. He’s the mayor of the park as far as I’m concerned and sometime in 2018, we decided to start piecing together a compilation video of his favorite clips from under the bridge. Some of the sessions spilled out into ditches and other spots around town though, so we said fuck it and sprinkled some of those in as well. -Francis

Fairdale France

July 9, 2016

No, this isn’t BMX, but it’s always interesting seeing what a few BMX legends are getting into these days. Some of the Fairdale Bikes crew took a trip over to France to do some touring around the French Alps and came back with this new video. There’s some awesome sights to take in, in this one and it looks like the guys had an amazing time. Take a look!

“We took Taj Mihelich, Leif Valin, Sandy Carson, and Chris Cotsonas to the French Alps and celebrated Chris’ birthday in one of the best ways imaginable.

Francis Delapena Bike Check

October 31, 2012

It was funny, yesterday when I posted Stephen’s bike check, I was thinking it was time for Francis to drop a bike check. Francis handles all sort of jobs for Odyssey from their website designer, filmer, editor, website maintainer and about 1,000 other roles behind the scenes over there that you might not hear about but you definitely have seen. Hell, he’s the creator of the player showing you those photos…

But yeah, check out his dialed ride and some real good riding shots above, then hit the Odyssey website for a full parts list!

Anyone else think it’s time for Francis to drop a new edit? Haha, I hope he see this…

New Odyssey Website

Odyssey BMX

While posting the new colorway kit, I noticed Odyssey dropped a new website and failed to tell us. Francis has been busy making the new site look dialed, and I’m real into it. Head over to http://www.Odysseybmx.com and take a look around.
