We have some new products shipping out to shops and mail-orders. Our Classic Top Loader Stem will now be available in gold, high-polished and white (while still available in the standard colors of black and silver).

PRIZE: Your choice of iPedals and matching Griswald Grips

The September contest is in full swing and easy to enter. All you have to do is take an Odyssey sticker and stick it somewhere awesome (like bdubb's beard)!

Post entries in the Odyssey Flickr Group and we'll pick out a winner at the end of the month.

To stay up-to-date with the new VitalBMX design, we updated our ODSY Themed Profile code. To get an ODSY Themed Profile, copy and paste the code below AT THE END of your "About Me" section. The code will hook you up with our TV (automatically updated with the latest edits and updates), Flickr streams and a little bit of Odyssey flair, here and there.

The August Contest is coming to a close in a week so get your entries in!!! In a nutshell, design(s) must be no larger than 10.5" x 8.0" and the goal is to make them printable on T-Shirt Transfers. Click HERE for an example.

We have two contests going on right now at Odyssey. One of them is a DIY T-Shirt Design contest and the other one is best known as the Banana Seat Challenge.

Check out the original contest post for official rules, details and prizes. Keep up with the Daily Word for the Banana Seat Challenge updates.

The Odyssey Flickr Group has been getting some awesome photos uploaded to it lately. We decided to put together a mini-gallery of some of our recent favorites on our Daily Word. Click the photo above to check it out.

Also, just a reminder, if you apply the Odyssey Themed VitalBMX Profile code on your profile, you'll get updated automatically with new photos on our stream (just about all our Daily Word photos go through there) and you'll also get random galleries from our Flickr group.

We have a Facebook page now so if you have an account on there, stop by and say hello. Click the image above to get to our page.

Greetings and salutations fellow BMX bicycle enthusiasts! Those who have our portable TV may have noticed that a new Chase Hawk edit was loaded into it this morning. Hit up our page to check it out!

HD versions are available in .mp4 and .mov file formats and iPhone/iPod users can use the .m4v version.

That's way more file formats than you can shake a nerd-stick at!

If you're interested in giving your profile an Odyssey make-over while getting the latest news, updates, videos and flickr photos from Odyssey, copy and paste the code below AT THE END of your "About Me" section.

The code will give you the Aitken tire pattern background, the setup watermark, our ODSY TV (automatically updated with the latest edits, fully loaded with our entire video archive) and Flickr photo badges from our group and photostream (photos from our Daily Word end up on this stream).
