A Message From Chris Doyle

It's been a while since I've sent something in for the blog.  I pretty much sat around all winter healing from ankle surgery.  So, I'm happy to report that I'm back on the bike and back on the road.  I just returned home from Iraq where I was doing demo's for the troops.  It was an unbelievable experience to say the least!  You can tell that the troops don't get much of a 'thanks' or a break from the norm so it felt great to give them a little show and a little break from their daily routines!  Attached are a few photos...

Best,

Chris

Brian and Gary at Woodward West's Winter Camp!

Gary Young and I just wrapped up 2010 in a big way... at Woodward West's winter camp. This years camp was 3 action packed days with over 130 BMX campers getting free reign on this bike riding paradise. We rode a ton, filmed some clips, played dodgeball, footdown, and tons of other fun stuff. Almost everyone got something free and everyone left with a smile on their face. Ten lucky campers ended up with a $20 gift card to ActionVillage. Some won them because of their BMX skills and some won because of their "paper-rock-scissors" skills. Either way we were glad to play Santa Claus one more time before the end of the year. One camper, Alistair, really needed a new pair of forks, luckily Gary noticed and hooked up with with $20 off his new pair courtesy of Action Village. Stoked! 

Thanks again to Woodward West for an amazing week and can't wait to visit again! - Brian Kachinsky

Brian Kachinsky Bikes Over Baghdad 2 Interview

Action Village rider Brian Kachinsky had the humbaling oppurtunitiy to visit Iraq for the first time in 2009 to participated in the first Bikes Over Bagdad Tour. Essentially the point of the tour is give U.S. military men and women who are stationed in Iraq a performance at their base by the top bmx athletes and give them a few hours of escape, excitement, and camaraderie with guys from back home. After that amazing first trip BK had no hesitations about going on the second tour, read about his experience after the second time on Transworld BMX HERE

Gary Young Signature Sunday Bikes

Exclusive Action Village interview with team rider Gary Young. Learn about what went into the making of Gary Young's Sunday pro- model, who they are good for, custom features and overall stoke level. Check out the bikes on Action Village

What went into the making of your bike?
When Sunday and I were talking about putting a line of complete bikes together, the most important thing that we talked about was making sure that they were completely shreddable right out of the box. Since shreddability is our number one goal, we came up with four levels (AM, EX, Pro, and Signature) of affordable bikes that are ready to be ridden. All of the bikes also come with Odyssey parts--making the bikes simply the the most complete, completes.

What kind of custom features did you add to it?
I got to help pick out all the parts and color schemes that come on the bikes. Besides my Signature bike, I think that the Bigfoot Monster Truck inspired model is my favorite.  The gold parts with the blue frame, forks, and bars just look so good together.  I also helped choose all the angles so the bike has a solid overall feel.

What was the overall input that you had in developing your own pro model?
I got to help choose everything from start to finish. Check out the signature model for proof, it is nearly identical to the bike I am riding right now!


What kind of riders is the bike best for?
When we started talking about making complete bikes, I was really excited to help create something that was accessible and fun for a wide range of people. Whether you are just starting out on a bike or you are shredding the nearest skate park, dirt jumps or street, these bikes = having fun! My bike has been designed so that anyone will be able to jump on it, but more specifically they were designed for people who want to have fun riding.


Anything else really that your stoked on about your bike.
Check out the Sunday team where we built up some completes and rode them right out of the box.
