got so much respect for you brother.whatever you doing its called GAME CHANGER keep on inspiring some dudes out here who don't know what to do with themselves
Someone needs to sponsor this kid with a better frame and rims that taco off that drop was gnarly. This kids got skills n not afraid to go after the big shit.
Parks are fun and I ride parks too, but something just raw and special about street. Riding Bmx makes this 47 year old feel like a kid in the 80s when I rode then too.
Never too old to start long as you have an active functioning body. Don't even have to be crazy fit just in decent shape. I've ridden with some pretty sick husky riders in my day.
I use to ride with so many pros in the city haven’t been on a bike since 2012 Blackman was one of the only riders I rode with that I can say was a true street rider zero fear! Hey black man probably don’t remember me we rode together in my town Kearny NJ me you Martin Oscar those were the good old days
I feel you brother Desmond I watched BMX save many of my brothers. God bless you and your journey and remember the hood is not real life. real life is love charity kindness and humbleness which I can see in you brother. Grungy Phil.... 32 year rider and counting
I'm an old f*ck and still relate to struggle aspect of BMX and Skateboarding. That's what drew me to it. It's the struggle against the Man and the Matrix.
Blackman is the king of the streets of Brooklyn, no, sorry he is the bmx street king to the 5 boroughs. HoodHappyNYC u have created a FUCKN masterpiece bmx video that truely captures and encapsulates the true essence and daily reality of a kid called Blackman livin in the hood. Blackman i first saw in his first Animal video cameo a few years back and his riding was totally of the hook. The technical level and sheer balls of Blackmans riding is unmatched. Even Edwin and all the animal crew were shitting themselves a Blackman's bike skills in that video. They knew their time was ending and a new era in street bmx was being created in the form of Blackman. Even then i knew as someone who had watched Edwin Delarosa blowup the bmx street scene at the age of 16, that this kid Blackman was going to be Edwin's successor. Delarosa blew up made lots of money and became a superstar in bmx. His living the west coast lifestyle now and thats nice for old man Delarosa. But 4 me there can only be one BMX STREET SOUL BROTHER KING-BLACKMAN is that king. This kid is the real deal and if the world wasn't so fucked up Blackman would be recognised for how truly talented he is and would have the cash flow that comes with being a super star. But like Dave Chappell said when u keep ur shit too real people u pay a fuckin high price. Blackman is paying the price for being too fuckin real. Blackman u r the king of the streets. As for all the haters talking shit on Blackman, go fuck yourselves u talent less muthafuckers, none of u bitches could survive 1 day in Blackman's world!!!!!!!!. David Svedosh u have created an unbelievable bmx video. David, keep making these Bmx video's, ur camera angles r sensational, the editing tighter than a virgin and the direction, well lets just say Spike Lee, Oliver Stone, Coppola and Scorcese could all learn something from u David !!!!. Someone has to document the life of amazing people like Blackman. These kid is an artist on a Bmx bike.
Just watched the video again. David u captured the essence of Blackman. Ive spent thousands of hours watching Bmx video's over the years and nothing I have ever seen comes anywhere near to the quality and rhythm of your video. This is is a masterpiece. Its a really fuckin beautiful bmx video. Blackman is just mesmerising. This kid is truly one of the greatest Bmx street riders to ever have ridin a bike. Maybe just maybe Blackman is the greatest. Having watched guys like Troy McMurray one of the first guys to ever ride brakeless with 4 pegs way back in the day, to Ratboy from standard, to the original Animal crew, the scavenger crew and the Bulldog bikes crew all representing the NYC street scene. I now know for certain that Blackman is the the one and only true KING OF THE STREETS OF NYC. All hail KING BLACKMAN aka DESMOND RHODES-2017-this is ur time Blackman !!!!!!.
Yo this kid is fearless! I watch all his joints but yo some sh*t you can't do my guy. Yo you can't take all risk gotta preserve your self for your career. Leave some of them sh*ts to the imagination...salute
Blackman stole my bike at the brooklyn banks sometime in the 90s (which is why I ride fingerbikes now - peep my channel), but I got over it after I saw some of his edits and his tcu interview and realizing just how much love he had for bmx and how crazy he was at it too. But after all the hype, this was a disappointment. I was expecting 8 and half minutes of bangers, but instead I got 4 minutes of talking, 2 minutes of manuals, bench hops, beringer grinds, etc., and a few bangers, several of which he didn't even land. Blackman, I've forgiven you and learned to admire your riding, but you've changed since the supra and sk energy days. Less talk, more riding. You said it yourself. Now do it yourself.
I respect that you got hurt and still put in work. I guess a part of me just misses the old blackman that was hoppin onto passed out bums and doing overcrooks on handrails next to walls. Part 3 better deliver, or I'm comin to steal my bike back from you.
haha I didn't start fingerbiking until flick trix came out, which was sometime in the earlier 2000s, if I remember correctly. It's just something I do to remind myself of my love for bmx. peep my channel, i got some raw edits up on there
The "Teeeeeeee......" talking is a necessary part of the history of Black Man'z life. It's your blinded, "everything's so pristine fault" he took your goddamn bike
Ok class let’s go over the checklist ~no knee pads ~no elbow pads ~no helmet ~jeans ~hoodie ~tiny bike ~sick tricks ~broken leg ~breaking bikes left and right ~not givin a shit of anything else going on in the world and expressing yourself with the little that you have ~hero
Desmond this is visually the best BMX video I have ever seen. The first 4 Animal video's were revolutionary. What Bob Scerbo did was completely new. It was groundbreaking. But what you Blackman and David Svedosh have created is a whole new era in BMX street ridin video's. No one in NYC or the world is producing BMX video's at this level with this kind of quality and depth. Blackman HOODHAPPY NYC needs a team video representin ur crew and u and NYC. Fuck why can't I buy a BLACKMAN signature frame, parts, shoes, video's and clothing. WAT DA FUCK ???? Hey Desmond if no one has the balls 2 sponsor u I say get HOODHAPPYNYC to start producin real product. Like u said Desmond, " when life says fuck u , u gotta say fuck u back" !!!!. This is ur time BLACKMAN. HOODHAPPY 4 LIFE BLACKMAN aka DESMOND RHODES- THE STREET BMX SOUL KING OF NYC 2017. WORD....................

Someone needs to sponsor this kid with a better frame and rims that taco off that drop was gnarly. This kids got skills n not afraid to go after the big shit.

Never too old to start long as you have an active functioning body. Don't even have to be crazy fit just in decent shape. I've ridden with some pretty sick husky riders in my day.
Pretty much if you can lift up n jump still it's not too late to learn lol
I use to ride with so many pros in the city haven’t been on a bike since 2012 Blackman was one of the only riders I rode with that I can say was a true street rider zero fear! Hey black man probably don’t remember me we rode together in my town Kearny NJ me you Martin Oscar those were the good old days
I feel you brother Desmond I watched BMX save many of my brothers. God bless you and your journey and remember the hood is not real life. real life is love charity kindness and humbleness which I can see in you brother.
