Odyssey is one of the last great BMX companies standing… No one makes better parts than they do. They employ and (importantly) retain people that are universally respected… Jim Bauer and Nuno Oliveira to drop an easy example.
However good Odyssey is, their media has come across as slightly off. Zach Krejmas (or Paul, if you know) floats with Peter Adam and Dave Sowerby as the best filmer in BMX. The new Odyssey video is yet another example of good filming being pointless if the video is just documenting new riding rather than giving it a purpose. Companies don't make films anymore, they just produce edits

It seemed very chopped up to me, like I get it, they wanted to cram in as many riders as possible, but it didn’t see as polished as past videos done in the past, should have stuck with a set few and made a wider spread of content on those riders
I thought it was a very good video
I’m not sure, but I doubt odyssey is rider owned.
Why didn’t they give them all parts or say who they were? I’ve been out of the game longer than some rider’s careers, so I don’t recognize everyone in this video. Maybe I’d like to support some of these riders or follow them on social media. Didn’t make sense to me. Lots of killer riding, though!
Aitken needs more screen time!
