In late May 2022, Luke Snelly (Tempered Goods team rider from Perth WA) was running his second DIY jam titled “For the hell for it”. A couple of the Queensland boys, Raph and Jerry figured it would be a good opportunity to head over west for a trip. Cheers to all the crew involved with the jam and trip!

So yeah, we upgraded our house late last year and it had a pool that was, by pool standards, wrecked. Cracks all over the place, filter pick ups that will eat a kid (if they worked), and pipping clogged with 20 years of who-knows-what. Sooooo, we had to get it refinished and what sort of lifer would I be if I didn't get some sessions in? A bad one.
Battle of Hastings 2022 is coming up in September. Source Park held the qualifier round for the wildcard places, check out what went down...
We are beyond stoked to welcome Dennis Enarson to the Odyssey team! Hands down one of the very best all-around riders in the game and easily one of our favorites. Whether he's roasting a quarter, ripping the trails, at a contest or in the streets, Dennis is always right at home. We all look forward to hitting the road and getting the projects rolling!
"Tyler tore his ACL midway through filming and still managed to have a killer part, still not 100% healed just yet but getting there. I lost my little bro about the same time as Tyler's injury and he was more than down to film the majority of my part. Making this video helped keep me pushing and I couldn't have done it without the other two dudes in the video, they helped me more than they probably even know." - Zach Bearley
If there is one issue that stands out to me it's issue number 24. It basically got me a job in the BMX industry, or at least the first steps were made. I showed this very issue to GT Bicycles president Richard Long at a trade show in Germany and asked if he (GT Bicycles) wanted to advertise. When he saw the cover of his team rider Dave Voelker flipping off the camera and not wearing a helmet he was not amuzed.
When Richard Long turned over the page he started reading the contents page. He noted the following: "He hates GT, but still rides 4 'em" and turned to the Jon Peacy interview on page 65.
The discussion was long but he got to hear what was wrong with the GT brand at the time. I felt strong about it because I had spent some serious time with the GT riders over in California.
When I left the meeting GT was advertising in FAT, they provided stickers for the free sticker page, I was offered a new Dyno Slammer and it was okay for me to get a temporay job at GT's headquarters in the USA. I seriously wasn't expecting all that.
Anyway, back to the content of issue #24: -Jesse Puente interview
-Jay Miron interview
-Jon Peacy interview
