Reed Stark at Lake Owen!
Reed Stark spent some time at Lake Owen this summer and filmed this edit. Super good lines, clean style and the ability to make it all look easy is a good way to describe this video. This was filmed and edited by the super creative Arik Elstran.
Crankslides with Jim C.
So, you want to learn crankslides? Well watch this video and learn how to do them. Let me give you some major pointers first.
- Ride absolutely parallel with the rail. If you have any momentum going into the rail then chances are you will go over the bars.
- Learn to stall the trick on a low rail first. There’s no sense in trying to slide a trick that you can’t even hold.
- To land on the rail just bunnyhop and turn between 45 and 90 degrees. Put about 90% of your weight on your foot.
- Land on the pedal and crank arm.
- Don’t lean back. You’ll loop out. Just stay centered over the bike.
- Don’t pull the brakes. You won’t be able to adjust your positioning.
- To ride away just go off the end of the rail and ride away. It’s not too hard.
- Use a sprocket guard because chances are you will break a chain if you don’t. Odyssey MDS sprocket works the best.
Once you’ve figured them out, then take them to bigger rails, up rails, do them jump over, switch, barspin in it, 180, frontside, pop out early and do trick into and out of them. For more crankslide footage, go check out the I Like Crankslides video from last summer.
Sunday Factory Test Pilots!
Sunday has taken some big steps in 2010, we introduced our Sunday Funday complete bike line. The goal was to make the most complete completes that have functional modern geometry featuring low bb heights and a short 13.25″ rear end length. This makes the bikes easily adaptable and rideable right out of the box. Our Odyssey parts packages are nearly unbeatable especially with the good prices. We asked Alex Magallan, Jake Seeley and Eric Lichtenberger to help us show that the bikes were easily adaptable and rideable right away. Like we said, the most complete completes!
Quick Clip:
Alex Magallan
Here’s Alex Magallan‘s handy work in this photo-sequence that’s been turned into a video clip by Scott Marceau. Two hop overs, two double peg grinds and a manual in grass gives you another reason why Alex is such a shredder on a bike! Check out more photos from Scott at his website www.pushitastop.com.
Australia as seen in Nano-vision!
Jake Seeley is the man begin the “lens” on this one. Sunday tour of Australia filmed all with an Apple Ipod Nano, Jake is able to easily capture funny and random moments from the Sunday Australia tour from a month ago. Not the greatest quality, but the content makes up for that. The song is Rainer Maria‘s, Breakfast of Champions, which was previously used in Props‘ Euroscene video from 2000 filmed by Stew Johnson. This video is sort of an homage to Euroscene. Check out our non-nano Australia video HERE.
Australia Video!
About a month ago, most of the Sunday team went down to Australia to visit a few shops, ride some skateparks, hit up some street and get punched by a kangaroo. We drove all over the east coast, from Melbourne to Brisbane and back again. Our adventure took us from scorching heat to torrential rain and from tsunami warnings to crazy hail storms. This video documents our adventure over those 12 days. If you ever get the chance to go to Australia then do it. You won’t be disappointed!
Lee Dennis in ATX!
Canada‘s Lee Dennis is one of the toughest and nicest guys in BMX. He posses amazing bike control and does it all with an effortless and casual approach. Having a relaxed style is a great attribute. This video is of his trip down to Austin in January. He ended up taking a very tough crash which he wanted in the video. He’s doing really well and should be back tearing it up really soon. Filmed and edited by Tom Arkus.

ATX Edit!
Ohhhhh yeah! Here we go with another set of awesome Alex Magallan clips. These were filmed during his stay in Austin, Texas and it has everything from tech lines to big gaps and sometimes a mixture of both.
Thanks to Tom Arkus over at Vinyl BMX for putting this edit together!
Seth Peterson Video!
Check out this new Seth Peterson edit which was filmed last summer in between his injuries. He has an interesting mix of tricks that range from unique tricks that most people don’t do all the way up to tech bangers. You’ll be able to notice this in this edit. I’m a big fan of the last trick because I can’t do it out of a wedge. Nice work Seth! Can’t wait to see more! Filmed and edited by Kyle Stark.
