I just run it how it comes…
Seems like you’ve had bad luck lately with injuries, starting with the hole in your knee, what’s your injury list looking like?
This year was rough. On January 1st I rolled my ankle at the trails. On March 11th or so our trampoline bike stabbed me in my knee and I didn’t ride for two plus months. Then I broke my thumb. Everything is good now, I think…
I’m sure a lot of people want to know what is the story behind your latest Odyssey ad with that diner table bike, would you mind explaining what’s going on it that ad?
We were in Mexico on a Sunday trip and I saw a bunch of dudes selling ice cream on bikes like that. I said it would be sweet to put a chair on the other side of the fridge so you have a table and two chairs. Well Jim [Bauer] up at Odyssey found a bike somehow and sent it to me, so for Christmas last year we built one and made it a legit table and chairs with no freezer and then we sent it down a hill. It was just a funny way to combine BMX, tables, chairs, dinner, skateboarding, and all my favorite foods! Thanks to everyone who made that happen!
Didn’t you move into a new house recently with Devon Hutchins and Chase Hawk? How’s that going so far?
It’s awesome! And today it got way better… I had my scooter stolen a little over a week ago and then Devon and some friends found it sitting downtown last night… so it’s home now… SO GOOD MORNING to that!

i hate you
November 19th, 2009 at 3:03 am
you stole my name!
November 19th, 2009 at 3:34 am
Thats not the Funday!?
It doesn't have aaron ross carved in the dropouts and it looks like the dropouts aren't hollow. I think it might be the Sunday Complete Pro Frame. mmm?
November 19th, 2009 at 6:02 am
Wow I have those same pedals in the same color. Aaron Ross was the firs rider I started to watch and hes been my favorite sense.
November 19th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
pretty sure this is the frame that will be the cheaper version of the current funday frame. one of the things they did to bring the price down was to not put hollow dropouts on the frame. it might be a tad heavier than the original funday, but it will be a lot cheaper. a heavier bike will make you ride like a man anyway….look at aaron!
November 19th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
you guys are fagets
November 19th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
YEAH RIIIIIIIITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 20th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
WHat are you talking about? They last way longer than the Animal Edwin grips do. How often do you ride? Because you must ride a lot in order for them to wear out that fast for you. Mine last me at least six weeks at the very minimum.
November 20th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
I completely agree. They feel the best when they're all stretched out though.
November 21st, 2009 at 5:57 pm
hey that seat looks really comfortable but otherwise the color scheme looks way too Hot Topic.
November 21st, 2009 at 6:50 pm
are all the odyssey director forks leaning forward like that? it looks like its ready to snap
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:59 am
no they actually dont last long at all but they still feel amazing. id ride em for ever
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Sweet bike man!! Sunday and Odyssey is the perfect mix!
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:31 am
