Lisa & Jim: 3432 Miles

Here’s a new web edit from Lisa Myklak and Jim Tharp’s recent road trip to the front range of Colorado.
Lots of great characters and riding. Specially love the section on Jared Fisher who suffered a broken leg that was broken so badly that after a year and half of surgeries and therapy Jared decided to have it amputated… 7 weeks later he’s shredding the opening of Valmont bike park. That’s gnarly but he’s finally able to ride again… Look for Jared to be shredding his own Killswitch in the near future.
Thanks to Lisa and Jim for putting this together… enjoy!!!

Two crews of Etnies riders came through Joe’s Bike Shop

I have also attached a pic with a few of the riders posing with the helmet.

Please help us spread the word on this auction so we can raise as much

Thanks you all very much!!!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. Cheers…

Tank Top Sale at Index ink

Chad and Index sponsor a few of the Black Market team riders including Adam Hauck, Jake Kinney and Vishneviy and they’re having a sale. Go get yourself the ultimate V neck and stay cool.

Greetings from Woodward West

I just recently returned from a week trip to Woodward to council/instruct with the MTB campers, and it couldn’t have been more fun! As most of you know, our very own, Jake Kinney is the MTB director at camp, and the two of us teamed up to get these kids shredding. After only a few hours on the first day, these kids were tearing down the DH/slope course, and nothing could stop them. I managed to snag a couple shots when I wasn’t working, and look for more to come.

Jake is part Cherokee with this Indian Air

Night time, no shirt & a jump built by Nastazio? Ok, shoulder buzz it is!

The AMAZING week 4 campers!

NSF’s and all other Black Market goods on the water…

This has been one of the most difficult years to get thru due to all sorts of behind the scenes BS that has ultimately caused our shit to arrive late in the season again!!! Fuck… 
But, I’m really happy to say it’s finally on the water and headed our way. Most Black Market distributors have already received their orders or as in Germany’s case, will receive this week. If you live near Germany, Sports-Nut.de is your best bet on locating the new Killswitch or Bada Booms as they become available. 

NSF’s Arrive in Japan

I just received an e mail from our Japanese Distributor who recently received their Black Market shipment recently and I’m stoked to see riders have already got their bikes built up. Check it out…
Can’t wait for everything to get here… BTI received their goods last week and immediately sold out of Killswitches. Looking forward to seeing those builds as they start to happen!

While I’m aware some of you don’t like the fixie scene, but… everyone’s got their opinion. I’m just stoked to see more people riding and Freestylin’ any type of bike and we’ll continue to support riders from all rides of life with quality Black Market projects when it fits into what we’re doing…
Don’t forget where this all stems from… Dudes in neon glasses with fannypacks, berets and goofy pants hoping up and down on fold-down pegs. Shit’s gotta start somewhere in order for it to grow and develop into something… kind of like Freeriding…
GO RIDE A BIKE 🙂
