Odessa Footwear's first BMX DVD follows team members Josh Bedford, James Newrick, Cleggy, Mark Tanner, Tom Blyth, James Cox, Dean Hearne, Kelly Bolton and Bomber round Barcelona, Spain for 9 days. A good question is; how do they do this? If you look at the slideshow, it's nothing but drinking the night away and having fun. How can you get up in the morning and produce for a video? Only true pros can do that. We're not sure how much of a boozer Kelly Bolton is but he sure delivered the tricks that the rest of the gang did not want to do or simply could not do. Kelly is a maniac and rides his bike really well. Barcelona is a good city for street riding. Most spots have been covered but not with a bunch like this.

The video shows that BMX is not only about the latest flairwhip variation at the Dew tour. It's also about throwing as many friends in a rental van and hit the road. Find an excuse to have someone pay for it (Odessa /4Down in this case) and simply go for it. This trip resulted in a report in RIDE magazine, one here on FATBMX and now with the 10 minute video out it shows up in the media again.

Was it worth it? Do you care?

6 Pounds and it's yours. Support it, the boys want to go on a trip again.
