I always forget Hoang can do tailwhips (and hop whips for that matter). I guess it’s no surprise though, the dude’s a ninja.

Here’s part one of a new segment from Ride where riders talk about their worst experience with a cop, security and/or random hero. KC Badger gets tazed and Adam Banton heckles a janitor.

Brandon’s a machine. His Red Bull Phenom entry is filled with some hard lines.

I found a CD with a bunch of random photos in it and figured we might as well do a quick photo dump. I want to say most of them were shot on our way to Texas Toast last year.

Our Lincoln Stem is available now and here’s a quick promo featuring Gary Young. To get one on your bike, hit up your local shops and favorite mail orders.

• Top-load design
• Industrial chain link plates create a reinforced top cap hinge, eliminating the need for traditional bolt holes that can weaken the stem body in this area
• Angled top cap provides room for interior part configuration and simplifies assembly
• Internal clamping system, easily accessed via hole in stem body
• Forged 6061-T6 aluminum maximizes strength and minimizes waste
• 53mm reach
• 25mm rise or 7mm when flipped
• 9.8 oz (278g)

It ain’t over till the fat lady sings… and by a fat lady singing, I actually mean Matthias lacing some new flatland links. He’s neither fat, nor a lady. He is, however, a really good bike rider.

Building a replica of Gary’s bike may not automatically qualify you for an X Games Gold, but having the right tools for the job sure doesn’t hurt. Here’s what Gary’s flying around on these days. All photos by Walter Pieringer.

Put Gary in any park and by the end of the day, it’s guaranteed he’ll be flowing that thing like he’s on home turf and lacing lines that other riders didn’t even know existed. That’s exactly what he did in Barcelona this weekend and we are more than proud to see that the juice man brought home a gold medal for his steeze. Congrats Gary!

Odyssey along with Fairdale and Sunday will have a Pop Up shop at LABrakeless in Los Angeles Next weekend, 25-26. See all the new product up close an personal, along with some weird Odyssey bikes and giveaways. Roll through and grab some gear, and have a great weekend.
