-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

August 8, 2008If you are near New York this weekend, make sure to stop by the King of New York Comp (August 9 and 10, Brooklyn, NYC). Adrian will be competing and representing for the whole Black Eye crew.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

July 29, 2008Check out the new intro clip for our upcoming Equal video (>>>).

Pick up the May/June 2008 issue of Session BMX for shots of Adrian, Cory, and Kyle.

And, Adrian has several sweet clips in Props 69. Make sure to give that a watch.

Turns out Cory has a torn ACL. Definitely not a good thing, but at least it is somthing that can be patched up. Cory is mobile and working, but he will need surgery before he is back on the bike. Don't forget to SEND US ALL YOUR MONEY for the MAKE CORY RIDE AGAIN FUND!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

June 16, 2008Congratulations to the Black Eye Team for scoring big at the 2008 Battle of the Dustbowl in Amarillo, TX. Matt Gannon grabbed 1st place, Adrian Vigil took 2nd place, and Cory Jarman snagged 3rd place. We should have some comp video for you very soon.

Unfortunately, Cory had a bad fall at the end of his last run and blew out his left knee. He is still in the process of figuring out exactly what the damage is, but we wish him a speedy recovery.

03/19/08Keep a look out for the Black Eye team as they make their way through Texas on the South Texas Death Ride. They are heading down to Dallas and have been snagging tons of great footage along the way. If you happen to see them, make sure to approach slowly with extreme caution. And, any extra food you may have would be greatly appreciated. They are bound to be pretty hungry by now...

The new completes have arrived! Check em out.

SPIED! The Black Eye Team Frame. My... isn't that a handsome fella. Extensive testing has revealed, "This one is a keeper."

The Black Eye team had a great showing at this year's Double Ditch Jam. Go to VitalBMX for some incredible video and pics of the Black Eye crew in action at the DDJ. We couldn't possibly compete with the sheer madness of Doyle's 2nd-annual launch into space, but Cory, Matt, Adrian, Duke, and Kyle threw down some amazing tricks.

And, the Black Eye Albucrazy Done LAzy Road Trip was a huge sucess. The team took Albuquerque, LA, Vegas, and all points inbetween by storm. All went as smooth as a baby's butt until... the team vehicle was T-boned (and totaled) by a semi while trying to make the escape from LA. All were shaken up, but luckily everyone escaped without serious injury. Jaws of Life were not necessary, as Cory kicked open the truck's doors to allow the team to escape the burning wreckage. Jamie fearlessly kept the camera rolling despite all the blood in his eyes. Duke quickly flagged-down a passing Benz full of hotties and hasn't been seen since. Adrian was thrown clear of the doomed vehicle -- landing in a nearby IHop, where he promptly ordered a full pancake breakfast. Kyle slept throught the whole damn thing. And, Adam was reportedly seen licking his spilled Red Bull off the shattered windshield. Stay tuned for the official road trip video coming soon!

The next generation of the Black Eye Team Frame prototype has arrived and is currently undergoing hard-core testing by the team.

Cory's Killorado Signature Frame is just about here. We will reveal this groundbreaking frame right here in a couple of weeks.

Black Eye Bikes Team update 7/17/07

The long awaited new line of 2008 completes, as well as the new Team frames and Cory Jarman Signature frame, will be available early fall. Look out for a whole new look, design, and overall quality on all new Black Eye products. A sneak peak of the new products will be posted very soon, so keep checking back.

Also, the upcoming full-length Black Eye DVD "The Awakening" will be available very soon. It features individual parts from our pro team as well as a killer mix section of all our homies from the Southwest. Be on the lookout for a new trailer any day now.

Cory Jarman
- Mr. Jarman has been putting his new Black Eye Signature prototype frame "through hell" to get it ready for production. It has a newly revised beefed up rear end, an all-purple-paint-job, and has been seen doing bunnyhop 360 tailwhips and manual fakie tailwhips. What?
- Cory has been busy filming for a brand new ground breaking Sunfall Clothing commercial as well as finishing up his video part for Season Bikes.
- On July 20, Cory, Adrian, and Nate will all be attending a Season Bikes roadtrip through the NE for the new Season DVD. It should be a doozy with all those heavy hitters on the trip.
- Cory also wants everyone to know that his beard is back in "full effect" and he is "never trimming it again!"
- Jarman would also like everyone to know that he is the reason that Black Eye Bikes Co-Owner John Patzman is now addicted to the new Monster Mean Bean Coffee/Energy drink, and needs therapy for his addiction! That stuff is like heroine, be careful out their kids.

Adrian Vigil
- Adrian is still shredding on a daily basis. He just got finished helping organize the Denver, CO 64th & Washington Underground Street Jam. The event was super successfull and we will have a full-blown article posted about it shortly.
- Adrian will be attending the Season Bikes NE roadtrip with Cory and Nate on the 20th, and will be dropping hammers in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and wherever else they venture off to. X-up grind UP a rail? We will just have to wait and see...
- He will also be doing demos all over Iowa for Yellow Designs on July 31-August 6. So, be on the lookout for him if you are in and around the Davenport area. Those shows tend to get a little crazy...
- Adrian is also now riding for Sunfall Clothing.

Matt Gannon - Gannon is featured in the September issue of Ride Bmx USA magazine for winning the New Mexico stop of the Local Exposure Tour back in April. His overall consistency, and flat out crazy/technical lines at the Los Altos park sealed the deal for the victory. Just wait for his Black Eye video part, jaws will drop to the floor, guaranteed...

Duke Dustman
- The Duke has been busy doing demos for a slew of random events all around northern Texas region with his fellow e.k.u.d. crew. 360 Double tailwhips and Backflip Tailwhips are, as Duke puts it,"the usual crowd pleasers of our show." Definitely not your normal crowd pleasing bmx demo tricks if you ask me. If you are around the Amarillo, TX area anytime this summer, be on the lookout for some wild e.k.u.d. demos.

Nate Richter - Nate will be attending the Season Bikes roadtrip with Cory and Adrian next week. With Nate's craziness on the trip, you know it will be entertaining...
- Nate also has been shredding with the Peg Leg crew in Albuquerque, NM. I'm sure some sick street moves are being dropped by them right now as I type this...those guys are too good.
- Nate is also heading out to L.A. in early August to get some filming done for an upcoming Shook DVD featuring some of the Southwest's finest underground riders including a few Black Eye riders here and there.
- And just as a reminder, the Albuquerque, NM 2007 Double Ditch Jam will be taking place on August 11. Be sure to make the journey out for that. Anyone can ride, its free, good prizes, amazing spot/set-up, good times, and the Black Eye crew will be on hand shredding with the locals. Check out www.vitalbmx.com for more info on this years DDJ.

This is Jamie Brooks, signing off with the first of many weekly news updates. Also be sure to checkout our myspace page at www.myspace.com/blackeyebikes for even more news and updates.

Peace homies.
