Through The Lens – Company Check: Odyssey

February 13, 2013

BMX BMX

Odyssey was started in 1985 so to say that they have a history in BMX is quite the understatement. They have created multiple innovative products, they have won design awards, they have continued to make products that have helped BMX progress to the level it is at today. Not only that but they have also put together an amazing team both pro and flow and they continue to set trends while the average company tries to keep up. Odyssey as a whole seems to be doing something right these days and it’s a company that has the respect of its fellow peers. They give back to BMX in the form of quality, trust-worthy parts and help support riding by putting on one of the best contests to date otherwise known as the Texas Toast Jam. I recently got the chance to head down to the main offices/warehouse in Norwalk, California and spend the afternoon hanging with Jim Bauer. Grab a drink, get comfortable and find out why Odyssey is one of the leading companies in all of BMX.

I know there’s a few of you out there that have been waiting for this one. Odyssey‘s Socket Drive Thunderbolt cranks and Killington Sprocket is available now. Check out more info below then hit up your favorite shop or mail-order to get some ordered up.

“Our Socket Drive interface system has been in use on our FLATWARE CRANKS since their inception, and it was only a matter of time before the system was adapted into our THUNDERBOLT cranks. The time has come.

In a nutshell, the Socket Drive™ system is a 9 sided interface which eliminates the need for a sprocket bolt. The sprocket itself is machined so there is no need for a sprocket insert of any kind. The two work great together. The interface is solid and reliable, so we are now offer the KILLINGTON sprocket to match.

KILLINGTON SPROCKET WITH SOCKET DRIVE™

Through The Lens: How To Shoot a Bike Check Featuring Andrew Jackson

February 6, 2013

Andrew Jackson BMX

For this week I had a few things in mind that I wanted to work on but when I was out shooting the other day Andrew Jackson showed up with a freshly built set up and he wanted to try and get it shot before he really started riding it. Since we were going to be doing a bike check anyways I figured it would be cool to break down the process of shooting a bike check and how I typically go about it. Bike checks are a perfect way to show everyone out there what you are riding and it’s a great way for pros to shout out their signature parts and help promote the companies that support them. Plus, it’s a great marketing tool for companies to have their products promoted by their team riders so it’s a win-win for everyone really. Although a bike check seems really simple there are actually a few important things to know when putting one together. Read on to get a little insight into what it takes to get one done properly and practice on your own bike or your friend’s bike today.

Getting to design and ride my own signature frame and forks is a huge honor. I can’t thank the guys at We The People enough for that.
