You guys are good! You figured out the first sneak peak was a shot of Aaron Ross’s new frame called the Funday. Well, please forgive me for annoying you because I’m just going to show you bits and pieces of his frame through out the week. Actually I’m just trying to make SPRFLS 2 days in a row!
Sneak Peak! 2
Sneak Peak!
Can you guess whose frame this is? It is really simple! This photo is of the prototype that we recently got in to start testing. Look for more info and photos some time in the next few weeks! Meanwhile check out this photo.
Did you see this?
Did you guys check out these Chad Shack produced videos on Defgrip? Picking Brains is just that, a few of us talking about Guadalajara Mexico which was a totally new place to us. We wanted to show that we went there for more than just the bike riding.
This next one also on Defgrip is a sort of mini group discussion by Jim Cielencki and Jake Seeley. We talk about the official it trick of the last year the Luc-e grind. I’ve been into that trick for a long time, so it was really good to talk with someone who is just as excited about it as I am.
Sunday Friend’s Bike Checks!
Nicholas Toncheff aka Scooter from Cleveland, Ohio recently got a new white Ian Schartz frame built up. If you are new to riding, Scooter was was a Chenga 1 local that tore it up. He had a wall ride named after him there. Well Scooter is back on a bike and its great to have him riding again!
Clint Adams from Atlanta, Georgia built up a new Black Magic Second Wave. Atlanta is one of my favorite cities so I’m even happier that there’s another Sunday frame down there!
Here is Derrick Waters brand new white Ian Schwartz frame all built up. I don’t know where he lives, so I have no little side story for you. Either way thanks Derrick for being into Sunday. Anyone else have photos of their new Sunday’s built up send them to me here!
More Mexico photos!
Aaron Ross had to fight some serious traffic that would make any normal human being insane. He didn’t quite get what he wanted, but it was awesome none the less. View More
Random Mexico photos for you!
Here is a few photos from Mexico that I shot over the first few days of the trip. First is the Cathedral area of downtown. There’s a number of famous Mexican people buried here and their statues are all around the outside.
Second is this young ripper who proceeded to boost this footplant over the rail at the skatepark. Mexico had a whole bunch of young guys on the come up.
Jake laughing while working on some good tricks which he landed moments later. Ah, good ol’ American hangouts! Some of the guys hanging out at Starbucks which boasted a nice rail a few feet away and a quarterpipe curb in the drive thru.
So when we weren’t eating at American chain restaurants, we ventured into this place called Abuello’s. Spanish American cuisine at its sort of finest. The best part was the guacamole and salsa that was freshly made in front of us. The second best was Kurt’s face after trying salsa and chocolate cake!
Sunday in Guadalajara Mexico!
Hey a few of us are down in Guadalajara Mexico filming for the Sunday video. Ian Schwartz, Jake Seeley, Aaron Ross and myself are down here. Check out thecomeup for constant photo updates and be on the look for some interesting web articles too. I’ll let you know more as we get them done. Also, RSVP now for the rooftop party we are having Saturday night.

I see some Smiling Steve Kennedy!
Also, visit Devin Hutchins‘ website to see an Aaron Ross clip.
Second Wave’s rolling out!
Well this is an awesome day! Why? Because the Second Wave frames are currently on their way to the distributors! Its even better because around this time 2 years ago, I spent 18 hours straight going through every frame from the first batch! I signed every box and looked through each frame for paint defects, crooked welds and improperly machined BB’s and headtubes. It feels like so long ago, can’t believe its only been two years. The Second Wave that will soon be arriving at the distributors is definitely a culmination of a lot of hard work! Just want to say thanks to everyone at Odyssey, George French, the team, everyone on the internet and of course the riders that support Sunday!
A few more Ian’s built up!
The first two belong to Andrew White and Chris Russell. The third one is Luke Swab’s and the fourth one is unknown (sorry).
Sunday friend bike check out!
Check out this Ian Schwartz frame all built up. John Wootton from the Vancouver area is the owner. He said his bike, “Set up really easy. Headset dropped in and the BB just needed a few
taps. No drama. I put brakes on and with the wheel nearly slammed and the brake pads in the middle of the slots the rim lines up perfectly.” He wanted to thank Pat at Flatland Fuel and Brad at 3Ride for helping him get his bike together. Looks good right? Oh yeah check out John’s site www.feeblebmx.com!
Daniel Johnson bike check!
Sunday is down under! Here is a bike check of Sunday rider Daniel Johnson from Australia. The bike check can be found on focalpointbmx.com. The site’s cool, I’m a fan of the puddle jump desktop photo. Click the photo to see the bike check in larger format.
