Hoang Tran off Odyssey

January 3, 2014

Hoang_Tran_BMX

Man… This is a bummer. Odyssey have had to release Hoang Tran along with Matthias Dandois that was announced the other day for 2014. I’m sure both of these guys will have no trouble finding a new home, but still a bummer. Check out the official word from team manager, Walter Pieringer below.

“Letting a team rider go is never a decision that anybody wants to make, especially when they are great riders and friends. Over the years, our pro team had grown to the point where it was hard to pay enough attention to all of our riders. So, for 2014, we slimmed it down a bit. Hoang Tran and Matthias Dandois are both amazing bike riders and incredible people; there is no question about that. But in order to give the rest of our guys the full support they deserve, we had to make the toughest call and let them go. There’s only time for so many trips in a year, and with so many people on our team, getting everybody out on the road and in front of a camera as much as they should be just wasn’t possible. It really sucks losing Hoang and Matthias; we don’t have one bad thing to say about either of them, and we wish them nothing but the best.” – Walter Pieringer

Subrosa – Hoang Tran “Get Used To It”

December 19, 2013

Subrosa has released Hoang Trans section from the “Get Used To It” DVD for your viewing pleasure! This video part was nominated for video part of the year, so you already know it’s amazing. Hit that play button now!

“Being a part of Subrosa since it’s creation in 2006 Hoang Tran had a lot of time to work hard on his video part, and that’s just what he did. Meticulously, scouring the globe for the just the right spots to release a brutal beat down on.

His hard work and talent payed of with a top 5 nomination from Ride Magazine for Nora Cup “Video Part of the Year”! An award voted on by industry members, his peers, and fellow pro riders, a nomination alone is a massive achievement! Everyone at Subrosa is extremely proud of Hoang for this.

Hoang’s footage, and his desire to have “the best damn time with his best damn friends” shines through in his part, and easily earned him the sought after last section.

There’s a pretty awesome story when it came to the music for Hoang’s section. Hoang wanted to use the song “Race With the Devil” from Gun. For “Get Used To It” we wanted to work with various artists and labels to clear all the music. A few emails later, we received a phone call from Paul Gurvitz, one of the founding members of Gun. We had never attempted to clear music before, and Paul actually took the time to help explain to us the different ways songs could be owned, bought, licensed or in this case re-recorded.

Yes, that right, Paul Gurvitz actually recreated the track in it’s entirety specifically for our video and Hoang’s section! I could be wrong, but I think Get Used To It is the only video that can claim that.

A huge thanks to Paul Gurvitz. Check him out at
