It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen Blackman pop up, but it looks like Network A caught up with him to stack some clips and talk about some of his thoughts on BMX. As always, Desmond came through with some seriously heavy riding. I’m just bummed he didn’t crush that kinker rail. Check it!

“In the second installment of “Asphalt NYC”, legendary New York City street BMX rider Desmond “Blackman” Rhodes talks about his past, and his future. He then hits the streets to tackle a deadly kink rail over in Queens that he’s secretly had on his radar for years.
