On a very warm day a couple months ago, I took a very informative tour of the monolithic operation that is the ODI Grip factory. They literally churn out grips 24 hours a day, five days a week. Unreal. So please sit back and get ready to absorb some info with ODI rider Mike "Hucker" Clark and ODI Brand Manager Colby Young. And yes, you can win that grip package (I believe they have a few of them)...just enter a photo of your favorite place to ride and hashtag #odisummerspot
WHAT IS OUR BMX?!

We want to create great content, feature awesome riders, and contribute, push, and show why we love BMX. We sincerely appreciate any and all support... -Ryan Fudger, Jeff Zielinski, Adam Watkins, and Justin Benthien.

[@RalphDDCdahvie]

this should be a series of videos covering bike parts production

[@OurBMX]

That’s the plan. I’ll be heading up to S&M soon. 🙌

[@matterbach6200]

Agree! would love to see how tires are made

[@OurBMX]

Ah, that one will be hard. I believe there's only one usa tire manufacturer, unfortunately.

[@Jacobz_bmx]

I wanna see how they make and weld frames

[@bigben1986]

RalphM25 i agree

[@matterbach6200]

That's some crazy injection molding, so cool that ODI is doing this in the US

[@rawbeef5828]

Matt Erbach and still able to sell the grips at a great price

[@nathanjohansen7169]

If they weren't in California I would totally want a job there, but I'm at least glad to know my grips are being made stateside in what looks like a really nice factory.

[@420rvidxr]

3:28 OMG they broke the matrix!

[@mason3vze740]

Alex Reyes bmx is exposed!!!!!

[@AntOn-nf9fi]

The science behind something that seems so simple, is crazy.

[@aria8928]

good to see all the recycling and sustainable design. A signature recycled colourway would be killer, and a bit of a mystery as to what each grip'd exactly feel like.

[@alexaguirre1065]

Wow I really enjoyed watching this video OUR BMX please give us more videos like this if possible

[@OurBMX]

Glad you liked it. More coming soon!

[@kolten808]

I would buy some recycled scrap bin grips would look sic. Every grip made all in one “THE AIO ♻️ “ grip 🤙🏽

[@DouglasThompson]

Agreed. Make em a couple bucks cheaper and Id buy em even more.

[@souleater307]

id think the different textures would feel sweet. please do this

[@freerider8737]

they already do for other lesser brand companies alot of stock grips get made here or from those scraps. alot of brands do it mainly makes the shit grips that come on cheaper bikes

[@kolten808]

@shred the gnar. you may be right

[@nugenki]

I freakin knew those Huckers were cloned. You can't get such a nickname without dying a few times

[@OurBMX]

Hahaha

[@joeriveul]

Nice seeing what goes into the process of making grips. And good seeing you guys are into recycling and sustainability!

ODI grips are highest quality and performance, I run their "O" grips on all my bikes, and have a bunch of spares. Every single grip is flawlessly molded, and the design itself functions perfectly -- not too firm, not too soft.

[@itsbrendan20]

As a passionate rider and although I dream to be a downhill mechanic this would be an awesome place to work

[@thehobbyjournal]

Why does this video make me proud to ride ODI grips? Man, they are awesome.

[@zeze3305]

I have absorbed an absurd amount of bmx info. How far we have come in 7yrs is wild. I love it.

[@Finallybianca]

I am a Mountain Biker and this popped up so awesome to see how they make the grips I use well close since these are BMX but still cool. Also to be honest a slightly shorter set with out the flange and lock ons would be sick on a trail bike

[@trollop4866]

This is an amazing look into how much work goes into making the grips, even more amazing is the factory is here in the US

[@jimlux00]

Have always loved ruffian grips, love my new elite pro's even more. So good to see how they are made.

[@tallmetalhead2307]

ODI changed the game with the Long Neck grips. I refuse to run another grip and it’s been 22 years since I bought a different grip.

[@gophop]

Awesome stuff! Amazing that they can actually run a production facility in California.

I would take all the flawed grips 😱

[@mason3vze740]

Matt Hubbard ikr

[@matthubbard904]

Mason Patrick hell I would use them cause I build custom bmx bikes

[@leeeeni]

would be much more environmentally friendly to sell the grips with imperfections for a lower price then shredding them to pieces, produce mikroplastics and ship them to careless customers...

[@poboypowder7567]

leeeeni did you not watch the video at all? They showed what they use the ground up grips for

[@msmde-feo-walsh4950]

I can't wait to show the students are at school. Great video. Would you in future make a three to five-minute video for schools?

[@Mtbmxing]

Damn this video is sick. I’m rocking the s and m hodors and I’m gonna get the Emil sensus grips day1

[@neverment]

1:41 | Cracking up at the joke, but I am still quite confused. 😂🤣😅

[@prestochange0]

This was awesome guys love this kind of videos. Ah my man Demo has an odi sponsorship recently. Odi must make a new grip for Demarcus or re make their odi xl grip.

[@djlesinski7978]

Give us more of these please.

[@TheDennisRobb]

Do you just pay all the Huckers one paycheck? I mean technically it’s the same person right? Eco friendly!

My first Odi grips were in the 80s. Odi mushrooms. They were black. Hard to beat a odi grip

[@tech12mods]

do you guys do collaboration grips?

[@novaisback2]

what material is this because i want to start making grips and i cant find a material to use

[@williamwest8924]

Mushrooms grips are still my favorite.

@@johnnysofresh91 I wish you weren't gay cause obviously you don't have much experience in bmx,when it rains or you have metal pedals it's easy to slip and hit your balls on your seat or cut your leg on your pedals.I'm not saying to walk around with caution cones that say ODI,I'm just saying it'd be cool to have a grip shoe better than vans.

I bet it make a cool looking grip if you just made all the mixed recycle colors into a grip

I ride cult grips but I use to ride odi longnecks for years. I would still probably ride them if they made them in 150 mm flangeless.

[@OurBMX]

Well, techincally you're still riding ODI grips. They make all the cult grips, too.

[@Rxu844]

Our BMX yeah that’s why I mentioned them. But I’ve never had any cult grips last me longer than 3 months but the longnecks would last years!

[@derekandre9302]

What’s the factories website that makes all the grips for the companies

[@OurBMX]

ODIgrips.com!

[@derekandre9302]

Our BMX thank you. To you think it’s possible that they can make grips for a company I’m starting with my friends? We are just starting out and are looking for products to make, we want to know if they would be able to work something small out with us

[@OurBMX]

I have no idea, sorry. Worst they can say is no, right?

what does this guy think people do with packages after they purchase something they toss the packaging in the trash and it goes right to a land fill

You get the concept of there being less stuff in the landfill, correct?

[@bradleyrossross963]

@@OurBMX yeah but it all goes somewhere in the end don't it m8

[@OurBMX]

Dude, no shit. The concept here is that the processes they have in place create LESS waste. You know, like instead of throwing a plastic cup away and getting another one, you just reuse that cup. So instead of two cups in the trash, there's only one. Ya'lllll are so dense sometimes...
