Odyssey x QBP at The Wheel Mill and Ray’s MTB

The Odyssey team made their way to The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh and Ray’s MTB in Cleveland.

Here’s a rad video Odyssey put together from a trip they did with QBP to get some riding time in at The Wheel Mill and Ray’s MTB. This video is packed full of clips that the guys got in during their time riding. Needless to say, it’s all good and this is one video you won’t want to pass up! Check it!

“With the help of our favorite US distributor QBP, we took Odyssey’s top ramp riders – Tom Dugan, Gary Young, Justin Spriet, Broc Raiford, and Preston Okert – to two of the best indoor parks in the country, the Wheel Mill and Ray’s. Naturally, with these guys ripping those parks, we came back with a killer video. Enjoy!”

Scotty Cranmer coming through with a video from the Uncovered contest at The Wheel Mill…

Over the weekend, The Uncovered BMX contest series rolled through The Wheel Mill and Scotty Cranmer, Big Boy, Cory Berglar and Matty Cranmer made the trip to Pittsburgh! Check out what they got into before the contest and some highlights from the contest in this new video!

“The day of the Uncovered semi pro BMX competition here at the Wheel Mill Skatepark! So many amazing riders are here to compete against each other and push the limits of BMX bike riding as far as possible! There were so many riders doing some amazing tricks but one rider named Mad Mike stood out in particular to me, He goes by the name of Mad Mike and he is one of the most hardcore powerful BMX riders I have ever seen before! He did the craziest gap to grinds that has ever been done in BMX!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Pump Track Showdown

The guys decided to see who could make it through The Wheel Mill pump track the fastest!

If you caught yesterdays video that Scotty Cranmer uploaded from a session the guys got in at The Wheel Mill, then you knew the guys were going to have a time trial on the pump track to see who is the fastest. Check out the video to see if anyone could beat Chris Doyle‘s time.

“At The Wheel Mill bike park we decided to have a race around the pump track while using the laser timing system! We met up with some of the local BMX riders including my old friend and fellow professional BMX rider Chris Doyle! Each rider had one chance to get there fastest lap around the track and it came down to the wire to decide the winner! Only one rider became the pump track race champion!” – Scotty Cranmer
