Desmond Rhodes - BMX King Of NYC Streets Part 2

Desmond Rhodes returns with his usual raw and unfiltered bravado...

4 Feb 2017

Filmed and edited by David Svedosh.

The infamous Desmond Rhodes, AKA Blackman, lets loose with some raw and unfiltered commentary and bike moves on the streets of NYC. Some of it is a little drawn out and cliché, but some of the riding and entertaining words, like how he claims to "have had one or two thousand bikes", makes it a worthwhile watch.
