This is a study on the different ways that animals jump. Well, a study if I ever actually bothered to watch how animals a jump.

This is a study of how I imagine animals might jump drawn while watching TV.

You may remember many months ago on this blog we posted our Probably-Going-To-Patent Nose Manual Helpers.

Thankfully we will (probably) patent these things since amazingly in the last 2 weeks two different people followed through with our design plans and actually built the things.

The first attempt was delivered via Twitter from Mr. Wallride Guy.

He said this ended up being a pretty painful endeavor, but you may notice not he did not clearly follow our blue prints.

The next day though we received these from Mr. Sam who lives somewhere cold.

Being much truer to our original concept these ones are actually stated to help learn nose manuals.

Sweet right! Thanks Sam for the surprise prototyping!

The physics of ice cream hunting.

I’ve been sooo busy working on organizing the Texas Toast Jam. Hope you’re all coming out!

Registration is now live and there is a lot of info on it.

This is certainly not deep or anything. But i had an extra board and so made a little drawing into a big one.

So one day Aaron Ross strolled into the OTX office and asked if I would paint a picture of what I thought was going on in his brain. Keep in mind this was like 2 days after he walked in the office and said he wanted to jump down a set of stairs with 50 gallon drums of orange soda exploding underneath him. It was too good to pass up.

The soda thing actually happened. And so eventually I got working on the painting.

Its been a bit sparse over here on the updates hasn’t it? I guess we are in sort of a lull at the moment. Fairdale Parsers are being built as I send this text over the interweb and there’s just not a whole lot new to update til they get closer to arriving. I guess I got a new Skate-rack prototype but I want to get it just a little more dialed in before I show it to you all.

Other then that I’ve been starting to work hard on the TX Toast Jam contest that Odyssey is putting on. I’m not sure it was a good idea to have the arrival dates for the Fairdale bikes be the same day as the big contest I am running! Anyway, there is an official website for the contest now that will be periodically updated. Keep a tab on it if you can. Texas Toast Jam web page on Odyssey BMX.

One issue with Fairdale Bikes is that I’m not really sure how we will sell them. All I really know is BMX and a lot of BMX shops don’t carry road bikes or commuter bikes like ours. I’ve been really thinking about what we should do with marketing.
