Many of these parts were specified as OEM equipment on some of the best bikes of the time period. The brand's first products consisted of braking 'systems' (calipers, pads, cables and levers), seating (clamps, posts, and seats), stems, handlebars, cranks, pedals, sprockets, frame and fork standers, aluminum pegs and a few novelty items like the infamous Barefeet tires. The initial goal was to fulfill the growing desire for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket components in BMX alone, but the brand soon became devoted to the relatively new and wildly ground-breaking freestyle riding that was growing in popularity both in the United States and in other countries around the world. It was during this time period, 1985 to be exact, that Odyssey started selling BMX and freestyle products from its original office in Carson, California. Fast-forward a decade and a whole new round of companies began to pop-up that were intent on addressing the needs of riders who had grown far more interested in doing tricks on their bikes than they were with racing them. BMX racing was a phenomenon by the mid-1970's and it wasn't long before an influx of market-specific companies emerged. The size and availability of the Schwinn Sting-Ray made it the natural bike of choice, since they were easily customized for better handling and performance.
