Today’s hipsters and their fixie bikes are not the first to embody the too-cool-for-school persona of the cyclist. In the 1970’s, counter-culture types in the mountains north of San Francisco took to careening down Mount Tamalpais. They were riding for adventure, for exploration, and as a way to interact with the landscape; they were not riding for exercise. Sarah McCullough, whose PhD dissertation at UC Davis explores the history of mountain biking, explains how this group of renegade cylists invented the sport.

Doubles, synchronized skateboarding, Cirque du Skate, non-Olympic pairs skating, mosh pit on wheels…? Whatever you call it, I was honored to have “paired up” with so much talent over the last few years while making this video. Some (most) of it was difficult / scary, but worth the effort. Thanks to Andy and everyone that participated for not killing me in the process. -Tony

ODI grips would like to proudly welcome Mike “Hucker” Clark to the team. To celebrate we shredded some things how any biker rider would do. We hit up his local park, got some trail time in at world famous Sheep Hills, bombed Herada skatepark, slayed Huntington, Newport & Seal beach. It was a blast and couldn’t be any more hyped that Hucker is on board for 2014.
