THE LATEST VIDEO FROM ODYSSEYBMX.COM

Nigel in Dig

If you've checked Dig this month you'd have seen an interview with Mirraco's Nigel Sylvester about his part in the Animal Cuts DVD. We haven't seen Cuts but sources are reporting back that Nigel has a SOLID part.

Eric L

If you don't get Ride UK you'd have missed out on this ad featuring Eric Lichtenburger with a savage drop in on his forecaster....straight out the Jim C book of innovation.

Hardcore Hobbies Jam

Hardcore Hobbies in Bury have a jam July 18th with lots of sponsors. Get on that!

Gary Young's Forecaster

Forecaster's are heading to the UK soon. Slightly more responsive than previous Sunday frames with a 75 degree head angle and 13.25" back end. Purple only for now.....unless you like Nitromorse.

Rachet hubguard comes black and polished

More FTP images

There's high quality images of most of the current line of Proper products fresh up on the FTP.

Sam Foakes

Sam Foakes....hopefully this find some appreciation beyond the world of flatland aficionados.

Fire Engine Red

Thanks for bearing with us last week. We now have a third floor packed full of goodies (like the complete Odyssey Fire Engine Red kit), more stock, and improved service rolling out over the coming days.

Barcodes

Nothing to do with the ubiqutous T1 frame of the mid-noughties.....many of you would have received Proper stock over the past few days and noticed the addition of barcodes on the packaging. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone with an EPOS system. If you'd like to get a list of product codes, descriptions, and bar code numbers then email Jamie@IMGdistribution.co.uk. Alternatively they're on the GS1 database. The Proper prefix is 506023076.

Flatware Jam

You can find more on that at 75Degrees and on Global Flat. Below is a brief interview with the winner (Kelan Phillips).

Thanks for turning up on Saturday, seems like it was worth turning up in the end. You got a surprise visit from your aunty and uncle, and you won the competition…congratulations!

What was going through your mind Saturday morning, with all the doom and gloom weather reports?

I wasn’t bothered about the weather, if it rained, then everybody would be in the same boat, I have been to a lot of contests around the world, so if there’s one in the UK I’m there for sure!

Ok, so the dance floor wasn’t brilliant, but you managed to keep your runs together, where others had a hard time. How did you manage this?

I managed on the floor because I just toned down the difficult of the tricks, so I could be more consistant.

You don’t enter a lot of comps so why this one? And do you think we need more comps in this country?

I used to go to every comp there was, anywhere in the world, but you cant make a living from doing that, so I took a break the last year or 2 and don’t enter that many, and yes for sure we need loads more stuff going on in this country, that’s why I started my own contest each year now in the UK. The more stuff here the better.

What’s your take on the UK flatland scene as the moment?

The UK scene is cool, just needs to be a few more events, but that’s happening now. Everybody in the UK gets on and can have a laugh. Seems the TGM guys have the best place/scene in the UK.

You do a lot of shows around the country with your company Inertia. So you must have a good idea of what the public’s general reaction to flatland is? For example, Luton’s weekend shoppers seemed perplexed at first, but gradually got behind their favourite riders.

Yeah I guess the publics first impression will be like 'who are these kids messing around on bikes?' but once they see just 1 or 2 tricks, they can see that we take it serious, its difficult and cool, then they get into it!

Any shout outs or last words?

Yeah, shout out to all the riders in the UK, its good that we all get together to comps/events in this country,

Oh, what you going to spend the money on?

The moneys just gonna go towards a new ride… peace.

Pool session with Odyssey team

Oh Harry

Mirraco's Harry Main making up wild new tricks as he goes along.

Tom Dugan Bike Check

Tom has a bike check up on Dig featuring a bunch of cool Odyssey parts including some Jim Bauer build wheels. Click the link sir.

48

This is Dan Figg's Proper TTL. As you can clearly see, Dan steadfastly refuses to leave the 20th century and is still running 48 holes front and rear. 48 holes means stiffer wheels and less maintenance....two things Dan values. If you're struggling to find stockists for your 48h requirements in 2010 then fear not....IMG continues to stock even the most up-to-date product lines in both 48h and LHD. There's a list of current stock above and it's continually being updated.

BMXmd

BMX Movie database is a relatively new website set up by a few guys including Fraser Peek (Fraggle). I guess the premise here is to feature exclusive content as well as laboriously documenting the songs, riders, and filmers that help to make up our rich history of BMX videos. A worthy project in anyone's eyes........anyway, those guys have a few Odyssey goodies up for grabs and if you needed an incentive to check out the site then that's a good one. The opening animation on this Odyssey DVD is another.
