Hauck Grips
Colors are so hot right now…
I picked Pablo up at LAX yesterday from overseeing the completion of the Killswitch production run as well as samples of the Hauck & Lock-Down grips in all the colors for 2010.

Good morning… I woke up to an e mail from Pablo who is still in Taiwan overseeing production of both the Killswitch and his other projects he’s working on right now. Pablo provided some photos of how assembly is going. We also have a firm ship date of May 10th now… and with the help of air freight we will have these Mutha’s in our warehouse by May 15.
Production Killswitch in flat purple…
Black Market Tuned 02 RCX ready to rock the mic right…
Hammer-Links assembled and waiting to help connect front and rear triangles
of the baddest piece of machinery to rip a trail, flow a berm or pop a lip.
Hidden machining as seen on the backside if the Hammer-Link along with built-in bearing races for simplified assembly and maintenance.
KS BB detail: ISCG 05, replaceable BB shell & bearings…
Gold plated hardware is just the icing on the cake…
Here’s a few more pics… Adam acted as team photog while Lisa, Jake and I rode dual slalom practice in our sweet new jerseys Chad Carother’s designed us and we really have to thank
TheWinningTeam.com for getting those jerseys done for us in 3 days flat!!!
Lisa smiling as she pushes up the infamous Sea Otter D/S… this will get old shortly huh Lisa?
What goes up must come down and this is what puts the smile back on your face
after the push up…
Lisa jumps into the techy mud-bog rhythm section.
I was loving the bike just wished I had brought my clips and shoes from the home…
Will someone please make a decent non-neoprene knee pad???
Jake Kinney looking fast on his Killswitch.
Jake rally’s into berm 1 at speed…
No time for a real update… but here’s some pics from yesterday’s Otter festivities.
Your BlkMrkt sales mangler Mondo Aguilera in full effect…
Booth…..
Lisa was not only the only woman on the pump track but she also competed against and beat a few of the dudes… specially the ones who didn’t hit this berm to berm gap out of a tight left over 90 berm… Rad!!!
This is Lee… Lee likes bikes and built this pump track too…
We need more guys like Lee in the world!!!
Classic Sea Otter Pit Steeziness……
Justin Wyper came in from Canada with his Killswitch
loaded for bear… Can’t wait to see him shred this year.
Jake Kinney posting a fast time on the pump track…
Blake Kearny on his way to the hot seat…
It’s April 14 th and Adam has made his annual Sea Otter trip west… after a full days travel & building up his bike Adam still had enough energy for quick evening session at the step-up.
Luckily we just had a bit of rain so the dirt was prime and the lip is still dialed from when we finished it a few weeks ago after the jackass on the 50 destroyed our work twice… I haven’t really had a chance to ride it either since Adam’s trip out due to a tweaked knee but we rode it today!!!
One for Sonia…
Here’s a banger from the day…
3-Bog
Next Stop… Monterey & the Otter…
These colors don’t run!!!
Be on the look out for Jake Kinney, Lisa Myklak, Jeremiah Work and a few others to be hitting some races in 2010 and a fuller schedule in the works for 2011. They’ll be running our new 3/4 sleeve race jersey designed by Chad Carothers…
4 New T’s just in time for Spring Break…
Come check out the 2010 Killswitch, Mob and Contraband at the 2010 Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, Ca. this weekend.
See you there!!!
