August 17, 2016

vans-50th-anniversary-sk8-pro-shoe-front-angle

As you probably have heard by now, the crew over at Vans are celebrating 50 years of producing some of the best BMX and skate shoes. One of the ways that they have been celebrating, Vans have released some special edition 50th Anniversary shoes that highlight some of their heritage. The other day we received a surprise package from Vans and inside was a pair of their new 50th anniversary SK8-Hi Reissue Pro ’86 shoes that are available in this navy, baby blue and white combo. We were really digging the look and figured it would be rad to give you guys a closer look just incase you’re on the hunt for some new shoes!

The 50th anniversary SK8-Hi Reissue Pro ’86 was brought back for Dennis McCoy who has been one of the longest standing BMX team riders for Vans. The color combo was one of the most popular color combos back in the 80’s, so it made complete sense to celebrate Dennis since he’s been a key part of the Vans family over the years.

Taking a look at the shoe, it features a suede, canvas and leather upper with the iconic wave logo, a small Vans tag on the heal, a sewn patch on the tongue and the DURACAP reinforcement rubber underlays in some of the high wear spots. Inside you can find the UltraCush HD sockliners with a high level of cushioning to absorb impacts like a champ. Of course, you can also find Vans’ iconic Waffle sole to wrap things up. You know your feet won’t be sliding around on your pedals with those.

If you caught any of Mark Webb‘s recent videos, there’s a good chance you heard him mention that he has been working on “The Webbie Show 3”, the third in his series of absolutely mental BMX videos. Well, today the video dropped and Mark came through with an absolute banger of a video from the Southsea Skatepark that is filled with crazy technical lip tricks to massive blasted tricks out of the baox jumps and quarterpipes. Mark absolutely crushed this!

Did you ever see the other 2 “The Webbie Show” videos?

“After all of my crashes and injuries in the past, the long awaited TWS3 is finally here. This video I wanted it to be purely about the riding. No expensive budgets, no fancy camera set ups with amazing locations. I wanted it to be 100% about the riding and that anything is possible at your local skatepark.”

Mat Hoffman – Backyard Sessions 2016

August 12, 2016

We’re not sure how many times Mat Hoffman has been told he will never ride a bike again in his lifetime, but so far those doctors have been wrong and we’re more than stoked on that. Mat just dropped a compilation of footage he collected from some of his backyard ramp sessions that he has been getting in this year, along with a few random clips from Woodward’s Mega Ramp and a few other ramps. This video is loaded up with a TON of different trick combos (Not to mention a bunch Mat invented over the years) with helmet cam and second angles mixed in. We got some good laughs out of the commentary, too… Mat literally calls himself out on a few of the tricks mid-air. This kicks a lot of ass, so hit play and check it out!

The Art of the Twisted PC

August 10, 2016

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-black

When it comes to BMX, it’s an ever revolving door of products that offer a number of different things from special features, unique geometry, different materials, different sizes all the way to interesting graphics and color combinations. We have seen trends come and go, innovative ideas that completely changed the game setting a new standard, ideas that were complete flops, some of those complete flops re-introduced years later and end up popular, ideas that were copied and replicated by multiple brands flooding the market and more. BMX frames have gone from 8 pound beasts to a more back friendly 5 pound range.

Looking back over the years, it’s really pretty crazy to think of all the different products that have come and gone. Some popular that riders were sad to see go, to products that we can only hope never make a comeback (stripped plastic seats anyone?). Although there have been a lot of changes, it’s pretty cool to see the products that have really stood the test of time with pretty minimal tweaks. If there’s one perfect example of a product that has stood the test of time, it would be Odyssey‘s Twisted PC pedals. Who would have thought something as simple as a plastic BMX pedal would come out so well, that it would become and remain popular for years. As some of you might know, Odyssey originally released the Twisted PC pedals back in 1997. You can learn all about that right here — Drawing Board: Odyssey Twisted PC Pedal. The pedals originally weren’t very popular because it was a time when metal pedals ruled the world, but eventually people started using them and plastic pedals became more common and they blew up in popularity. Other than some minor changes like the spindles, the plastic material for different colors or styles like clear plastic, there really hasn’t been too many changes. That is other than the different color options that we’ve seen over the years. Yesterday, Odyssey released their new Black Tie Dye color and it got us thinking about some of the different colors we’ve seen over the years, so we hopped on the old Google and did some searches to compile a bunch of the different pedals. Here’s what we came up with…

odyssey-bmx-tie-dye-black

Black Tie Dye

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-pedals-tie-dye-colors

White Tie Dye

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-color-changing-pedals

Who remembers these? The color changing pedals. They were white, but would change into different colors with sunlight.

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-glow-in-the-dark-1

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-glow-in-the-dark-2

Speaking of color changing. The glow in the dark option was an interesting color option for the Twisted PC pedals.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-aloha

These were a little more recent. The Aloha pedals used a floral wrap that was bound to make you want to go to Hawaii.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-clear

As we mentioned above, Odyssey had their clear Twisted PC pedals that required a slightly different type of plastic composite that allowed for it to be see through.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedal-clear-colors

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-fader

The clear pedals were also introduced in a number of see through colors. Above is a look at a few of the see through color options and below that is the “Fader” color that featured three different colors on one pedal.

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-black-crackle-color

odyssey-twisted-pc-crackle-colors-bmx-pedals

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-crackle-orange

The “Crackle” color of the pedals came in a few different colors with swirls of black mixed in to give it that interesting look.

odyssey-bmx-twisted-pc-pedals-camouflage

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-blue-camo

There were the camouflage color pedals as well!

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-gold

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-metallic-colors

The metallic color. Plastic with the metal look. There were also available in a handful of colors.

odyssey-twisted-pc-bmx-pedals-galaxy

The “Galaxy” pedals were interesting because they seriously set BMX on fire with the color. Odyssey released matching Monogram Tripod Seats that were available in a few different colors to go with these. Also, Madera released a “Celestial” colorway that matched for their hubs and stems, followed by their Celestial Protocal HT cranks that gave you a number of options to make your bike look out of this world.

So, that’s a look at just a handful of colors that the Odyssey Twisted PC pedals have come in over the years. We know there’s a ton of colors we have missed since they have been available in a number of solid colors, which you can see a few of in the embed below! We’re trying to remember if there were any crazy color options that we blanked on. If you can think of any, let us know in the comments!

What’s one color that has never been done, that you think would be really cool? Let us know in the comments as well!

What will be next from Odyssey as far as colors go? We’ll just have to wait and see…
