Here’s the photo of the Funday PRO complete bike! Looks like a bike Aaron Ross would ride, right? There’s so many Odyssey parts on this bike it’s nuts! From Twombolts to Aaron Ross Grips! This might be one of the best parts packages on a $655 complete bike ever! Check this LINK to see all the specs!
I’m not sure if anyone of us found any glory on Ride UK‘s Ride to Glory trip, but check out Aaron Ross, Joe Cox and Jim Cielencki on Odyssey‘s section of the trip. The trip was a lot of fun, the van was terrible, the weather cooperated most of the time, Road Chef wasn’t amazing, Rom Skatepark was amazing though, Liverpool wasn’t so sketchy, Aaron is addicted to IPhone games and we came in 4th out of 5. Trip was fun, but next time we need a working GPS and a van that shifts gears properly!
Here is Gary Young‘s built up Third Wave prototype! We just announced he that he got on Sunday yesterday, but he’s been riding this bike since just after Interbike. His quote was “This feels so good! The geometry makes simple stuff like manuals and bunnyhops so much easier” Hopefully we’ll have a web video of Gary in action on the bike. Check below for his parts list!

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?
Marc over at StrictlyBMX sent me a photo of this custom built up Aaron Ross Ocean Blue Funday frame with matching Odyssey forks and bars. Then add in all the other pink Odyssey parts and you get this sweet bike! Looks amazing if you ask me! Follow the link to Strictly BMX’s site and tell me what is going on with the splash page photo besides the wall ride to 180.
Mike Gonzalez has been getting some help from Sunday and Odyssey for awhile. We recently hooked him up with the only Black Magic Model D that was made. I know I’m going to hear you should make it in that color, which is completely understandable because this looks great. Either way Model D’s are available in olive green and silver right now. So if you are looking for something dependable and stable in the air while riding trails then this is the bike for you!
RideBMX has a really good Sunday Model C 24″ bike check and mini interview with me on their website. In the interview, I discuss some of the similarities and differences between riding a 20′ and 24″ BMX bike. Some Model C progress has been made, Odyssey Hazard Lite rims showed up at their warehouse today along with Morning 24.1 forks and 24umph bars. We won’t be releasing them yet for quality control reasons and we are still waiting on the frame arrivals which should be within a month. All of these photos were shot while I was California a few weeks ago. Look for some clips of the Model C in action sometime in the next few days. Probably sooner once I find a song I like!

Here is my part from the first Odyssey video. It was filmed in and around the Atlanta area and my special guest is my former Kink team mate Rob Tibbs. Most of this section was filmed by Rich Hirsch from Lotek with some added footage from Brad ‘Puck’ Byrne. You’ll hear him laugh at the end. There’s too much to write about this, so just enjoy the video.
