Matt Nordstrom is now doing it for Odyssey! We’ve seen a ton from this guy the past year or so and he’s always on it and progressing. I can only imagine this will only help him push his riding further. Check out his fresh setup in the bike check above, some words from Walter Pieringer and then start waiting for a banger of a welcome edit!
“Odyssey is excited to welcome Matt Nordstrom to the family. I first met Matt a little over a year ago, and, well, yeah, obviously I was impressed because now I’m adding him to the team. Matt is a smartass little shit for sure, but he’s a good kid, and I’m certain his new teammates at Odyssey are going to be stoked on him. I think you will be too. Be on the lookout for a welcome edit sometime in the not-too-distant future, and in the meantime give him a follow at @matt_nordstrom.” – Walter Pieringer / Odyssey TM
With the 2013 Texas Toast Jam less than 10 days away, Odyssey decided to drop a little hype video (like everyone isn’t already losing their minds excited) to remind everyone that it’s coming. Check out a few quick clips of Chase Hawk from last year! I can’t WAIT to get on that plane down to Texas.
Here’s one I spotted over on The Merged that I’m sure you guys will like. Here’s a more detailed look at the new Wrenches tripod seat from Odyssey that we got a preview of at Interbike. How good does that seat look?
The Chase Hawk and Aaron Ross signature tires from Odyssey are now available in the new BIG LOGO sidewall versions. Get all the details by clicking here!
Looking for some new bars, but you want something with a little more height? Odyssey just released their new Sweepstakes bars for you to check out. These bars are made from multi-butted 41-Thermal heat-treated 4130 chromoly and come with a rise of 9″, a width of 29″, 10.5-degrees of backsweep and 4-degrees of upsweep. These bars are available everywhere Odyssey is sold now!
I made my way on over to the Full Factory booth to check out what Odyssey, Sunday and Fairdale had going on. If you have been paying close attention to what these guys have going on, I’m sure you have seen a good amount of this since they’re really good about keeping people in the loop through their sites and social media, but there were a few surprises! Let’s do this!
BMX is pretty unique in the sense that it’s always evolving and re-inventing itself. The bikes from 10 years ago are pretty much polar opposite of what they are today. Complicated things have been re-designed and made to be lighter, stronger and easier to install and maintain. Everything on a bike has been tweaked and changed to make it better, sometimes multiple times.
In the past decade, we’ve seen seats go from railed to the very popular pivotal style. I remember thinking how simple the design was and that there probably wouldn’t be much you could do to make a seat more simplistic and cleaner…
Well, I was wrong. A little over a year ago, David from Fly Bikes introduced the tripod seat system and like a Colorado wild fire in the middle of a drought, we’ve seen this new concept take off with more and more brands starting to offer their own version of the seat and post design with no signs of slowing down any time soon.
We were really curious to know what the story was behind this system, so we caught up with the brains of the operation, David Quesada, to talk a little bit about how this all came about. Let’s see what he had to say…
