Happy Veteran’s Day to those who dare…


A special thank you to my former squadron HMH-466… Wolf Pack out of Miramar, SD.
and Nick… I just realized I was already in a Wolf Pack prior to the Banks Jam, now I’m in 2…

No one should ever have to give their life for their country but it happens and the brave men and women who serve do so with the knowledge they may never return home from their tour but they do so in hopes of making our world a better place. Support our troops always. They did not choose their battle but they will fight it for us… Thank you!

Just a quick note to thank those serving or have served in the US Armed Forces for all their sacrifices and bravery in a very unpopular situation brought on by an even more unpopular man.

Halloween with the Wildman!!!!!

Me and Broom Hilda.

My costume in full effect… this was a real crowd pleaser…

We walked in a crowd like this for about 5 miles I think…

Hollyweird!!!!

Uh, yeah… I’m not sure why they are both reaching for that and smiling either…

not nearly enough of this…

too much of this…

Fernando found his twin AND another witch just like him…. small world, huh?

people were just posing with everyone everywhere…

Sergio, Carter, Fernando and Wildman Halloween 2010

Sorry for the late Halloween post but I’ve been waiting for photos. How did you spend Halloween??? How about walking miles of closed off Santa Monica Blvd. with several hundred thousand people in West Hollywood… with one “Wildman”, A.K.A. Todd Lyons in a spandex muscle suit and one Fernando Sabat in a deflated witch costume (his batteries died after 10 minutes). That’s exactly what I did… it was pretty insane. Here’s some photos from the walk.
Umm… these photos show Hollyweird at it’s very best!!!!
No Mormons were hurt in the making of these photos…

Tejas Dirt Fools from Dirtnap Mcgillicutty on Vimeo.

Jeremiah Work, A.K.A. “Salty” just sent me this gem…. and by gem I mean he kept this hidden and in the dark so long it could have turned into a diamond or something… a moissanite.

I’m gonna say this footage is a bit dated but it’s fun to watch and the Misfits rule…

But Salty’s P-bike blows….

Beyond Bikes Biketoberfest goes big!!!

Lobes enjoys one of many Fat Tire’s of the day while Tim points at something.

Mike is Republik’s best choice for clothing testing… for obvious reasons.

Steve…

SD local ripper Tim Gooden takes his .357 to new heights.

I rode the Killswitch for a few runs.

Mike getting ready to change tube number 2…

Mike is pretty rad…

He flaired it too…

Steve Woodward put on a how to trick the fuck out of a steep 3′ wide 6′ lip.
Last saturday I was unable to make it to Aptos for the Ham and Steeze Jam but I managed to make it down to San Diego where Beyond Bikes was throwing a Biketoberfest with free micro-brews, sausage BBQ, and a box jump demo. With Republik and SNAFU’s cash… Lobes A.K.A. Kalin Law and Brad Winger built a crazy steep “SPOX” with a 6′ lip and landing and a 5′ deck.
It was a challenge to ride and pretty scary but with locals “SPOX” shredders like Mike Montgomery and Steve Woodward living near by the show was on.
Here’s a few pics taken by Kalin Law… A.K.A. “LOBES”.
He’s a good boy.

2010 Black Market Products arriving soon…

Another new release for O’10 is the Killswitch print slim seat for something a little different.

The Lock-down end cap acts also as the end lock.

Also new for 2010 is the Lock-Down lock-on grip system. I wanted to tackle some of the issues I despise about lock-on grips such as why do we always have to feel that bolt that strips out instantly anyway??? We’ve hidden the inside clamp with a larger 3mm bolt head under a comfortable flange and used the end cap to act as the outer clamp utilizing a recessed set-screw. We’ve also made the grip a bit wider and they will be available in multiple colors.

1.5″ x 30″ x 31.8mm BadaBoom

Bars will finally be back in stock and we’ve added white for those of you into that kind of stuff.
