Good Guys In Black was started and formed by PRO BMX'er/TV Celebrity, Rick THorne in winter of 2007. The mission is to express yourself openly and creatively with aggression in mind flipping negative situations into positive ones with raw energy. After years of riding Rick found music to be the next level of expression with not only physical abilities but with honest emotions in his music. Good Guys In Black is for the misunderstood and misrepresented, for all those who have stood up for themselves in what they believe in and how they want to live their life, and for all those who want to, remember it's your life to live. Good Guys In Black will make you want to move, grove, rock, bop and rip it up!!!!
Influences
Bruce Lee, The Blues Brothers, Planet of the Apes, Elvis in the '68 Comeback Special, The Boondock Saints, Chuck Norris, Mad Max, Clint Eastwood, Johnny Cash, Taxi Driver
Sounds Like
"Grindz And Rhymez" Tour is music and sports together with a pro bmx and skate demo, Good Guys In Black playing live on the street course while everyone rips up the park and a jam style contest for both bmx and skate looking for the next ripper in each city and skatepark. If we are ever in your area come check us out the tour is rad, fun and full of energy.
Much love,
Rick THorne
