Flybikes Berlin Trip

Fly have put a video of their team riding in Berlin at the 2007 Rebel Jam up on Freecaster.

Not the most ground-breaking video you'll ever see, but it's still pretty sweet none the less. More people need to do the over-peg line that Sergio does on the spine mini...

Od ys he Odyssey news.

Spot the Odyssey video quote? Head over to Odyssey-vision on Youtube to see sections from it...

Odyssey news, much like Frijj milkshakes, are coming thick and fast this week, and today is no exception. We showed you the Vandero V2 hub not so long ago, but the complete wheels are now in stock at Odyssey HQ back, back in Cali, Cali. They look pretty good, and Padded Cell are just waiting for the all-clear from Odyssey to send the hubs out to shops (e.g. Pijin...). Keep an eye out!

Dig Issue 60 + Grounded.

Both are out in Pijin, and both are really good.

Dig #60 has a load of super good features in it, some sweet photography, and a relatively high Mark-content.

Grounded on the other hand features a 48-page book feat. photos and stories from their team riders, a load of bonus material, a cool Leaner Version with similar rider's sections grouped together in sets of 3, plus the 55minute or so long main feature. It really is too good, and at £9.99, it's cheap as hell. It's a classic, buy it!

Hoffman 2008 Preview - Chandlers Ford Rail-off?

Hoffman Bikes have a total list of every product they're doing for 2008. A slew of completes, a couple of new frames, a couple of old frames and a load of 74° head angles.

Nice.

In local news - Chandlers Ford rail-off session, Friday night this week (Yes, that's today...)? Get involved.

Odyssey Director Forks - Out Now!

Odyssey's Director forks are finally out, and they look pretty good. Here are the details:

- New steerer tube and leg joint is stronger than conventional designs.
- Butted and tapered “direct” legs prevent rail and grind hang-ups.
- 10mm hollow integrated leg dropouts.
- 1 lb. 15.6 oz. (895.8g) with uncut 170mm steerer tube and pre-load bolt.
- 3/8” axle slots only.
- Rustproof finishing prior to powdercoating.
- Black and white (limited soon).







Tech-ity tech.

Oooh...

Just spotted these wee treats:

A-Ross, The Boss webvid on the FBM Site. (EDIT: Just re-watched this video, and yeah, fully amazing. Pretty high "Phwoar!" count.)

Corey Martinez, Nathan Williams and Dakota Roche Levis trip video thing. Expect the photos to be in Dig 61 or 62.

Dig 60 is out now, and best of all I'm in it, ha ha...

Primo Corey Martinez Video

Primo have released a new video of Corey Martinez on their Primo Myspace page.

That's it. No fancy puns, no scathing criticisms, just a pretty sweet video of a pretty amazing rider.

Nowhere near as cool as put-downs...

Stolen and Fly 2008 stuff.

Stolen have joined the likes of Kink and Fit and have put up details for their completes for 2008. Featuring trend-friendly parts such as Odyssey Twisted PC pedals and Odyssey Aitken tyres, they're bound to be a big hit - especially seeing as most of the line feature full 4130-cromoly frames. The model pictured here in the Heater, which also answers the question of "Where did Baracuda's graphics guys end up?"...



Go to StolenBMX to check out the rest of the range.

Meanwhile, Fly have released a bit more product information. In true BMX industry fashion, everything they make is coming in a limited edition colour - for Fly, they've chosen a slightly unusual (for them) colour, red. Bit different to their usual pastel shade kinda stuff, but I'll leave all that talk of colour shades to Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen... Incidentally, Volvo do a metallic turqoise that'd be basically the best colour to paint your frame, ever.



Fly have also chosen to rinse Odyssey's teal market by making some turqoisey grips too. Get these Ruben grips and prepare to face a barrage of "Do those grips really match those Hazard Lites?"

Odyssey JC Trailmix Pedals!

A while back, Odyssey put a post up on their site about new versions of the popular Jim Cielinski pedals - the JC Plastics and the Trailmix model. Well, the Trailmix is now officially in stock at Odyssey HQ. Featuring a slimmer body than the original pedals, no knurling on the body either, longer pins, a new 17mm hex section on the spindle (instead of a slim 15mm pedal spanner flat) - which means you can use most adjustables on it, all good! - and a couple of other improvements. Breeze over to Odyssey's Site to view more details:

Check out the photos:







Rumour has it these will be at distros in about 2 weeks, so expect them soon! They're only available in unsealed, black at first, but hell - they look damn good anyway!

Federal are also running a comp to win one of their new freecoasters - send a video clip of you to the guys at Seventies to win. Go to the Seventies site for more details too.

Memories of the Clicked 8 "Sessions" come flooding back...

Anyway, this is a different kind of "Sessions" video - this time it's from those guys over at Levis BMX. You don't clean up with gold at every major vert comp in a season without being on top of your game, and Bestwick is at the moment. Just watch the vid!
