Somehow, I completely forgot about this video, but thankfully the trailer made it online. “Tough As Hel” was AtomLab’s DVD from 4 years ago, and it just so happens to star our very own Carter Holland and Adam Hauck. The video is a great watch and worth the effort to track down. I’ll try to upload my dvd online to make it easy for all of you. For now, enjoy the trailer!

Snapped a nice shot of Kevin Sorichetti with a “Monkey Plant” aka Topside-Handplant on the 15ft vert wall at the Clairemont Skatepark in San Diego. Enjoy!



I just received an update and a few pics from our German rider, Martin Kiesewewtter who has been shredding his new Malice and Killswtich in a few of the bigger German bike parks over the last week and has some pics to share. First is a sketchy drop with a super short take off… Kesi’s Killswitch barely fit on the lip he got tossed at least once. 
He ended up snagging the cover of next month’s 
Mountain Bike Rider Magazine for his efforts… Nice work Kesi!!! 
We’ll post it when it’s released…

I have been working with Nick Brandreth for about 6 years now and he’s not only a ridiculous photographer and always getting better but Nick’s always been a friend. Believe me, Nick has put up with a lot of shit from Adam and me… mostly Adam but it’s because we love him and we’re only happy he doesn’t turn his NJ wrestling skills loose on us.
Here’s a taste of Nick’s abilites…

Our very own Jake Kinney just finished a web video for Index Ink. It’s taken some time, but the results came out great. This just shows what a great rider is made of, Jake can ride anything! Huge thanks to James Moore for filming/editing. Be sure to check back soon for another video by James. Enjoy!

Some more shots from Jim Tharp’s yard, this time with BlkMrkt “Made Man” Jake Kinney.

Jake’s Buzzin his way through the set.

I ran into one of my favorite street urchins, Trevor Perelson at Sea Otter yesterday and was bummed to find him with a busted hand. Get well soon Trevor…

This year’s new event Speed & Style killed the old Speed Trials format and was far more fun to watch and compete in… nice work goes out to Nativ Eyewear, Kyle Ebbet, Jeff Lenosky and the grunts who put the finishing touches on the course.
