I have two BLK MRKT Mobs, one SS with 24'' wheels and an 8 speed 26er. I think I own both of these bikes due to a solid company-rider relationship. I have always liked the looks of NS bikes but wonder about how much I would feel like one of NS Bikes pro riders. I bleed blood everyday I ride. Yep, I suck! But, I do ride and I do push myself harder every time I ride. I believe that the extra push I get is from visiting BLK MRKT's web page and looking at pics and videos of the same frame I ride doing amazing things. Soderstorm rocks and I will visit NS Bikes site to see what's up! Carter Holland is a super cool guy and he even told the world about the loss of his female pit, Sierra. I was so sorry to hear about his loss and I could relate. I have two pits that mean the world to me.
