At Ranchstyle this year Tammy Donahugh ran a Womens Only slopestyle event called Dixie Trix. The event included clinics taught by fellow women riders. One of which was BLK MRKT’s Lisa Myklak-Tharp.  This is a few of the highlights shot by Miller Event Studio.

The Easter weather was less then bike friendly so Michael Gagel (striped shirt) grabbed his Killswitch and went with a friend for a good session at Radquartier. Which is a fun looking park in Germany. Filmed and edited by Moritz Hornung.

This last weekend was a good one for the Black Market crew at Ranchstyle MTB Festival in Grand Junction, Colorado. The wind was a hassle all weekend but plenty of good riding got done. 

Congratulations to Justin Wyper for winning the Pinkbike Best Trick contest. He threw a Double Barbara, a double Saran wrap and a cordova flip to win the fan voting on Pinkbike.

We also had a podium finish in the first Dixie Trix Womans Freeride event. Lisa Tharp ended up in Second place right after Tammy Donahugh. Good Job Lisa!!!

Jake Kinney was also at Ranchstyle and will be posting his own full update soon…

Check out the highlights and some good comedy from our friends at PlusSizeBMX.com

It’s awesome how a simple act of taking the dogs to the river for a run can turn into something like this… Thanks to Suzie and the IPhone 4S…

Perfect timing for berm blast…

Pepper not stoked after the roost to the face…

But that soon changed… Ha!!! Missed me bitch!!!

 Suzie did her best to take cover behind that rock to the right while in the direct line of fire for this

7-10 Split.

Nows she’s got the speed figured out to avoid another sand blasting.

 Meet Lilou… she’s a strutter…

Keep trying…

So I have been in Colorado these last couple day and it has been great. My game plane was to come to Colorado about a week and a half before the Ranchstyle contest in Grand Junction and hit up as many different jump spots, skateparks and shops to just ride with all the local CO kids and give out some fun free product. And to spread the word about Woodward West and all the companies that support me. Then just have fun riding and put smiles on kids and other riders faces by hanging with them in their hometown areas. 

The trip has been great so far, we have ridden some amazing places. I also entered a fixed gear race around Denver which was awesome. Yesterday we went to Valmont Bike Park to do some filming and riding. One of things we have been battling with here is crazy winds these last couple days. When we arrived to Valmont it was beyond windy. Boulder MTB Association started a Tuesday night dual slalom race series that night. So why not enter…right?! ( Take in mind I was there to jump and I was on my mob with micro knobbies, one brake and 28/12 gearing). Perfect bike for dirt jumps but made it work for some racing. We had a full rack of 32 guys. I loved the course and ended up putting down the fastest times which I was really pumped about. Then the racing started and was going great and made it to round of 8 while still winning my heats and won the first race of 2 in round of 8. In my second heat of round 8 I slid the front tire a little in a corner that had been getting broken up so I lost the time I had gained coming into that heat. I was extremely stoked to be able to make it that far and put the times down on my dirt jump bike. I am looking forward to the next couple days and then we hit Ranchstyle. It has been a great trip so far I have made lots of new friends and met so many cool young rippers and also many fun good riders in general. Its truly great to be part of the MTB community. Also Chris from www.plussizebmx.com has been great. Thanks to him and his wife for letting me live on their couch here while showing me around this state. More to come from the trip. Thanks to everyone who has helped out… 

Thanks  –  Jake Kinney

Me and my little friend Little-D Feitinger. Who will get his first experience at Woodward West this summer.

Jake Kinney is out in ColoRADo preparing for Ranchstyle and spreading the word about Black Market and Woodward West. Chris from PlusSizeBMX captured this shot of Jake at the Denver bike park.

Jared Fischer is a true inspiration. Even after losing part of his left leg in a DJ accident he probably spends more time on his bike then you. Watch this and be inspired… 

Getting it done from Down Under. Benny hits some huge jumps and lands some huge moves in his latest for the Unit Riders and Black Market.

This should be Martin Knorr’s last edit on his old Contraband. He just got a new one and is getting it built up now. Always fun to see some new moves from the Dutch rider.
