Standard Shaman Ox, 2004 era
streetStreet:
I remember always seeing Paul Osicka in ride representing that for standard in the ads. it's paul osicka right...?

very cool, enjoyed that a lot

This is one of my all-time favorite bikes
I usually hate yellow stuff, but the stickers/parts/frame always sucked me in...
Sometime around 2004/2005 I got a red shaman from Chris Cotsonas (odyssey), off of bmxboard.
It was the frame that was used in a black-and-white evolver (brake) ad. somebody please post that ad. I've found it in my magazine stack a few times, but never scanned/capped it
sadly, a friend's brother took the bike out and got it stolen one night around 2006, and I STILL stress over that thing. Any bike I see at the dump gets my hopes up.
I never took pictures of the bike itself aside from this one
but here's my bmx-test profile on it from ~2005

it's more than likely paul osicka, but i think he rode the Tao, which is 18.x" TT. The shaman is 19.5" and was my sole reason of not riding anywhere near the level of osicka. honestly, the guy can just bust jam packed incredible links in a 2mX2m living room avoiding furnitures whilst blindfolded, you can't compete with that.

it sucks that chances are the bike theif has no idea of how particularly good this frame was and would just pawn it after doing wheelies/ whatever. it's probably a personal bias but the few times that i came across people riding shamans, they always seemed to ride in ways that opened my eyes and gave me new ideas. took me a while to realise i had a lot of emotional attachment to that frame.
