Ray’s gets turned inside out in Ohio…

Ray’s indoor mountain bike park in Cleveland, Oh. put on a new event called the Inside Out… the idea is to race from the roof of Ray’s through the parking lot and back into the building… check out the clip…

If you’re in the Cleveland area and you own a bike… get to Ray’s and look for the 2009 BlkMrkt demo bikes that will be arriving soon.

2009 Products arriving soon!!!








Here’s the 09 Blk Mrkt catalog for your viewing pleasure…
Ahhhh… the 2009 products are on the water and will be arriving the first week of November. For 09′ we’ll have 2 levels of completes to choose from so, keep your eyes open for all of our new products to hit your local bike pusher… specially the 09′ .three57 and Riot completes because they won’t be available online.
Our new dealer locator is almost done too… until then e mail Carter@blackmarketbikes.com or Mondo@blackmarketbikes.com so we can point you in the right direction.

Cartel…

Nathan Lawrence owns this one out of Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada.
This Cartel member can be found on the streets of Montreal being ridden by Francis but don’t let the name fool you. His mother called him Francis once… once.

This is Angel from Madrid and he’s been on this Mob since 06’… 

Here are a few more cool builds from around the globe… ha… we’re spreading like a disease. One day the imitators will find their own groove instead of jumping on the bandwagon ( did you hear a bird?) !!! Until then, keep sending in your pics and I’ll keep puttin’ them up!!!

For the 2nd time in 2 weeks i made the 6 hour trek to Aptos for the Post Office Jump Jam. The jumps were dialed and kids were shredding hard from 9am until dark. I didn’t take very photos there because I wanted to ride more but I went out riding with Jim Tharp, Rick Nolte and Mike Montgomery. Mike is a ripper in every sense of the word… just watch.

Ryan Howard throws a signature shoulder buzz

T Mac dives into the hip.
Jim Tharp is so steezy its not fair.
Hauck 3’s the PO trails…
Adam feels out the new hip in the desert heat and wind… early sessions are pretty much mandatory.
Hancock with a heated invert
With Adam in town its time for some serious miles on my Tacoma so we started with old faithful… Gavilan, A.K.A. Nasty’s in the 909. Thomas Hancock joined us in what turned into the hottest day of the trip. From here we headed up to Nor. Cal. in an attempt to escape the heat.

Adam and I made it to Aptos where I finally got to ride the Post Office when it was good… and it was good!!! The city and development company that own the lot have really helped the locals get the spot dialed with a new roll-in and water… Jamie Goldman even bought a Bobcat to build with and can leave it on the property… DAMN!!!

We got there at about 4:30 and the shred fest went until dark. Local rippers Ryan Howard, Alex Reveles, Jesse Nickel, Greg Watts, Jim Tharp and Brian Miller all showed up to ride with us. I mainly shot photos due to a massive dehydration headache after about an hour. After that we followed Brian to Marin to ride 101 and Ramp Rats. Unfortunately 101 let me down again and with the water source and potential that place has to be sick but… NOPE! Here’s some of the action.
