A contest or the Weight Watchers out there.

Our distributor in Norway, sent us this light weight project build by fellow Norwegian, Joakim Dalland. And this gave me an idea… who has the lightest Black Market on the planet? Is it Joakim? Is it you???
We’d like to know… break out your cameras and scales and remember… we all know how parts weigh and thanks to the Internet, if we don’t… we can always look it up somewhere.
Be honest and no one will call you out…
Post your pics of your lightest build on our Facebook page by 2/28/11.
Winner will receive a complete Black Market steering system:
Bada Boom 1.5″ or 2″ x 31.8mm bars
31.8mm Underboss stem
Hauck grips &
BlkMrkt end plugs

An Oldie, But a Goodie

Found an old shot of BlkMrkt Flow rider Kevin Sorichetti from nearly a year ago. Kevin Learned Nac-Nac’s in one day and this was the final result. Keep an eye out for this kid, I know I say it a lot, but he will be a destroyer in the game!

SLAM!

Adam told me a while back that the Fuel TV show SLAM! had come out to Jersey to shoot an episode.
Well, as it turns out that episode just played and I was able to catch it on my iphone just in case you didn’t see it or don’t get Fuel TV where you are… either way. Here’s the SLAM!

Liberty Skatepark Bike Pics

I headed to Westminster for the Liberty tonight’s evening sesh… Our local locked cog jock, Erik Vehmeyer was there hitting some cool lines. He almost pulled a clean hop 3 from the deck of the small quarter but came up a bit short on the rotation in the dark… that can’t be fun strapped to your pedals.
Next time!
Kyle Strait also cruised by to ride for the last few minutes of light… look for more of Kyle on the contest circuit this year too, that will be rad!
Erik Vehmeyer about to land half of that 3 he’s been working on…

There’s always something happening at Liberty… Mike Dinh throws a T-Bog on his fix while Parkour guy gets down in his own way… I think…


Strait made a rare skatepark appearance but only had a 5 minutes to ride before it was completely dark.


Vertical or Horizontal… your choice.

Vancouver Autumn edit from Ross Measures

Dan Rawsthorne A.K.A. “Toff” sent over this edit from Ross Measures. They filmed most of this during the Fall in Vancouver… Ross shows off lots of cool street moves. Dan kills an elevated flat bank and fun was had by all… enjoy.

Lear Miller in Utah

Good friend of mine, Lear Miller just released a mostly self-filmed edit while on a trip to Utah. It seems that slow-mo videos are making quite an impact lately, thanks to a great editing program called Twixtor. Lear lays down some great lines and smooth style in this video. Enjoy!
