Here is the LAX to ATX Flipbook that accompanies the video we dropped the other day. There’s a whole bunch of photos of the whole team plus some random ones as well. Mostly shot from my point of view, but other photos by Jake Seeley, Alex Magallan and Aaron Ross. There should be some more randomly on our Facebook page as well. The trip was a lot of fun and if you missed the video then follow this LINK.
Take a look at all the new Sunday softgoods which are now available at your local bike shop, mail order and on our webstore! We have a whole bunch of new t-shirts and hoodies, which include themes like baseball, green foam fingers, the Forecaster Storm Cloud and Third Wave colors. We even gave in and did some monster truck themed shirts that came out really cool! All of our softgoods are printed on American Apparel.
Check out a few pictures of Jeff Grindstaff’s purple Forecaster bike. He ended up getting hooked up with a Full Factory co-sponsor through his local bike shop Angry Penguin. I should have some good riding photos of him soon.
If you thought our white Third Waves had an old school feel then check out this edition of Sunday Friends. Alvin Mullins added some old school touches to his Third Wave like Redline Flight cranks and some Oakley B-1B grips. I guess this is where the old school meets up with the new school. I’ve been to Alvin’s house and he has quite the vintage BMX collection and to have a Sunday in there is an honor. Here’s a bit of trivia for you, Alvin owns a really fun ramp that was basically the first ramp Model C’s were ever ridden on.
Check out the new Sunday Frogskins! We teamed up with Oakley to bring you their latest collaboration glasses. Oakley started out by making grips back in 1975 when BMX was in its infancy. The colors were chosen to reflect BMX in the early 80’s and Oakley B-1B grips. These grips came in classic color combos like red/white and blue/white which as you can tell became the main theme of our glasses. Even the bag’s Full Factory Pilot logo is a nod to Oakley’s Factory Pilot slogan. It’s been very exciting to work with such a progressive company like Oakley. These glasses are actually 4-legged Frogskins and come with another set of arms. You’ll be able to make the glasses either all red/white or blue/white like the grips. Look for them to be available on our website and in some select Sunday dealers sometime during the week of November 7th.

Getting a completely new bike is always exciting and you can bet that Lee is psyched on his new ride. With a Forecaster frame, Morning forks and Tall-T bars, his new bike is looking dialed. As icing on the cake, today is also his birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!!!
It’s Interbike week and you can check out our complete line over at the Full Factory Booth! All of our 2011 Bikes are on display along with a couple new frames and colorways. Jake Seeley has a new red Forecaster, along with red bars and forks. If you had happened to click over to the Odyssey site, you probably would’ve seen Aaron’s new Orange Soda bike, built up using a Safety Orange Funday! And last but not least, we have a new frame dirt frame to introduce dubbed the Conductor.
Scott Barker came along with us on our recent trip to Ontario and shot a whole bunch of medium format photos of Alex Magallan, Lee Dennis and Eric Lichtenberger. Go check out www.scottbarkerphoto.com and www.flickr.com/scottbarker for more of his work.
What’s up with Stephen Savage? Well, from the looks of these photos, he has been shredding! My favorite photo is the whip over the fountain with the football fountain from the World Cup in the background. He said he was completely blinded by the flash while shooting this, so he did the end of the whip without seeing. Look for more photos like this when he gets his new bike together.

About 2 weeks ago, we took a little adventure to visit our neighbor to the north. Canada’s own Lee Dennis led the pack and took us around his home area. Alex Magallan, Eric Lichtenberger and myself took in the many sites, skateparks, public trails, burritos, Tim Horton’s donut shop and a bunch of street spots. If you’ve never been to Toronto area then you are missing out. There are so many friendly people there. Even people who will find your wallet after you accidentally throw it out of a moving van and proceed to track you down just so they can give it back to you. In return, all they ask for is the t-shirt you are wearing. But that’s a story for another time. Ryder Distribution took care of us and made us feel more welcome then we could ever be. Here’s a few photos I shot from the trip. Look for more photos and a little video coming soon!
