Odman Schmalzried
This picture was taken about one hour before we lost Odman in an avalanche riding back in Eureka, Alaska. He will never be forgotten!!!!
Odman was the kind of friend that you only find once in a lifetime. To be honest, I have so many "stories" of him, that I wouldn't even know where to begin telling! There was no-one that I would rather ride with, I do know that. He always claimed that he was right behind me to my left. And I always knew that. I believed him. Total trust. That's why we rode so well together. There aren't too many things in life that I enjoy more than riding. But it will never be the same in my life without my "best friend" Odman!!
Well, it has been a few years since we lost Odman! You would think it would get easier in that time. NOPE. Not so. You're still missed major buddy!!!!!
