I'm pleased to announce our site's new alliance with Odyssey.

A legendary brand, with old school era roots, that is still going strong... so strong in fact, that they are about to celebrate their 25th anniversary in 2010.

So, I'd like to raise a toast to Odyssey, thank them for supporting what we have going on here on the site and at our events and wish them decades more success.

And that's pretty much a given because as most of you have probably noticed... Odyssey is still innovating and setting the bar real high. They are universally recognized by bmx'ers of pretty much all eras as a ground breaking source of innovation and quality and I'm so stoked and grateful to have their backing.


In celebration of the 25th anniversary we are going to request the OS homies coming out to the Peck Park Reunion & Show to please bring their most banging examples of Odyssey gear - parts, soft goods... whatever you have, to the Odyssey booth at the show. They are going to have a little photo set up there on site to document the goods and take the details of the owner so that they can accredit and keep track of the owners. They will incorporate the documentation of said Odyssey articles into their 25th anniversary celebrations over the next year. So... be a part of it. Bring your Odyssey stuff out to the park and represent.

Odyssey is awesome-- here is a company that was on the fringes of relevance and in danger of falling into obscurity as a has-been into one of the most respected brands in the industry, based on the strength of a top-down commitment to excellence and innovation in design, both in product design and marketing. It really is a case study not unlike Apple on how effective a commitment to design can actually be.

Welcome!

Odyssey = class. Nothing else really needs to be said, although smoovebert says it very well too.

Sweet! They are one of the few BMX companies that have been around that long that still truly innovate. I actually feel that recently (last 5 years or so) Their stuff has been a driving force design wise on the scene. It is great to see them here.
