Odyssey Bmx Summercomp Report
« on: October 03, 2005, 12:26:38 AM »
Carl Bourne wrote quite a long, detailed article for you about the Odyssey BMX Summercomp 05 ( Portimao, Portugal - 3 weeks ago ) and made some good photos, too. Have fun!

A photo of the mysterious new FBM flatland frame is available on the FBM website. You should have a look. It looks absolutely "different".

If one of you visited the Flat Time King (France) this weekend and would like to write a report about it ( or send some photos/footage ) please contact wfp@freakmail.de . Thanks!

They gotta be joking if they're thinking fo selling that backend to the public, it's not crazy, it just doesn't makes sense. And that headtube! Ugly and massive, I dont get it...

Hehe, I didnt visit this summercomp, but i've heard good things about it.

I mean, people keep talking about weak frames like KGB that start bending and sh*t after hard riding so what can we say about this one?
This design has written all the way down: "its gonna snap!". That backend is impossible to maintain, rearwheel tricks will destory it in a second. Unless they've built the frame in a differente material or ticker tubes I cant conceive it...
