Vishneviy Bike Check # 2

With the start of the new contest season comes new bike checks… 
Here’s the newly crowned Russian BMX Freestyle Champion, Pavel, A.K.A. “Vishneviy”‘s new
Pink Profile Racing equipped Mob…
Thanks to Nathan at Precision Powdercoating for prettying Pavels bike up for us.
I know he looks a bit disheveled here but take my word for it… he’s dialed on the bike… 

I think this Super Seat might be further extended than Andreu’s but it could just be their height difference…

That’s no fish story either… it really was this big…

Damn… glad to have you on board Pavel.

The BEST Competition in BMX

In case you’ve been stuck under a soundproof rock shelter for the past few weeks, you already know about Nike’s “The Pool”. It has already been regarded by nearly every rider/participant as the BEST comp to ever take place. It was just a fun time and for all, a great format, and a general good vibe. Like all major comps, there were videos floating all around the internet from different perspectives. Well, Nike has just released their “Official” Pool video, with the whole story behind the event. I know this isn’t MTB, but I just HAD to put up something about it. Enjoy!

Jake Kinney & Woodward West

Black Market’s own pro rider Jake Kinney has finally started his new job as the MTB Director of Woodward West. That being said, we all know some great things are sure to come out of that. Woodward has already rebuild a major portion of the MTB hill with help from Zack Dank and Jake. This season is going to be special for all of you first-timers, as Woodward is offering $100 off your first week at camp! Follow the Facebook link for details, and be sure to check out all the hard work that Jake is doing, and thank him when you get up to camp.

The Dank Crew does the BEST work on dirt!

MTB power Hour

Tony Baude and Karl Schnabel from Germany have been sending in videos once or twice a year and they always outdo the last… this one is no exception. Enjoy some fun creative lines and a little gay man hug at the end from Tony -N- Karl…

Hey Tony, Karl… if you keep hugging at the end of your edits… people are gonna talk…
I’m just sayin’…. Good riding though!!!
