The ODI Longnecks are probably the best grips ever made. They are still selling like crazy due to the rubber that they're made of. The quality control is of a high standard which makes the grips a good item to spend your money on. In fact, when money comes in, there's room for a team to promote the products. ODI doesn't hold back here.
Kevin Kiraly, Alex Raban, Jeff Cadger, Larry Alvarado and
Tony Malouf are featured in Black Book, a video produced by ODI in the Los Angeles area.
The team searches for spots in and around LA and they all kill it. Next to the 5 featured riders, there's more footage from riders like
Sean Morr, Mark Rubio, Victor Galindo, Kirk Shearer, Cory Midget Walters, and
Patrick Taber. Maybe not the most well known pro riders out there right now but the talent is definitely there.

I got my copy at the Eurobike show but have no clue how old this is. It doesn't really matter. The quality is good and the DVD has a good vibe to it. Graffiti style.
