A little while back, I received some random photos of Jim Bauer from Odyssey riding his Model C in a ditch that could be straight out of Wheels of Fire. Most of you probably don’t know what that is, but if you had any connection to skating in the 80’s which most people did then you would know. It happens to be my favorite skate video of all time. Have you followed Odyssey on Twitter to see what they’re up too?
Here are two bright Sunday ‘Funday’ Friends! Keith Jones is the Ocean Blue Funday and Will Fisher is the Fluorescent yellow. Will works at Core BMX in Toronto which hosted the Toronto Up, Up and Away premiere back in May. Unfotunately, Will hasn’t even gotten to ride his bike yet due to a broken ankle. Get well soon! Nice job guys!
Chris Hilbrich broke his thumb and had to have surgery about 2 weeks ago. He crashed in a berm during one of the local races in Austin. He should be getting his cast off next week and be riding in another 2 weeks. The above photo was shot at Baker’s Acres while he was on the Gypsy Tour a few months back. Photo by Rick Crossman.
Vinyl BMX’s, Tom Arkus came to town the other day and tore up the barrier spot from Sunday night’s post! He took the Model D off the trails and tabled high above the barrier. No flat landings here, he just dove right back into the barrier. Did a good tire slide too! Check out the gallery below! Photos by Jim C and Tom did the touch ups!
Here’s a photo of me barspinning the local jersey barrier in Buffalo aboard the Sunday Plus 4 Model C that I’ve been riding since last fall. The photo was shot by Zak Taylor when Jake Seeley and the Garden team was here filming awhile back. I’m trying to make some Sunday Wallpapers so you might see this photo along with some from the rest of the Sunday team.
Here’s a picture of Mike from Dan’s Comp‘s built up olive green Model C with matching Morning 24.1 forks and 24umph bars. I’m digging the red chain and the green stem! It’s really neat to see other creative colorways of the Model C. Mike’s being a man and running brakeless! There’s a lot of people doing that with this bike. I’d like to see some web videos pop up of guys riding these. Anyone????

Here’s a photo of DJ Greyboy‘s Silver Model C built up with silver Morning 24.1 forks and 24umph bars. He’s got quite a collection of rare and unique bikes including this bike, a sidehack and some vintage bikes that I had no idea existed. His house is a BMX historians dream! I think it’s time for him to do a slideshow of all his bikes.
Louis Brown sent me this photo of Aaron Ross that he created on a bored and rainy day in Scotland.
Tim Sage sent me these photos of his super good looking 21.75 olive green Sunday Model C built up with Black Magic Morning 24.1 forks and 24umph bars! He took it to his trails and said “I took it out yesterday and I am amazed by the way the bike rides compared to my old cruiser.” Seeing is believing! I’ve often put the bike in a person’s hands so they can test it out because I can guarantee that they haven’t ridden anything like the Model C before.
