Well a couple days ago i took a trip down south to visit my friend Nick Harry.
We ended up making are way down to Venice Beach. Babes Galore. Had a lot of fun.
My picture camera ended up running out of juice. Otherwise i would show you pictures
from the new NineStar location. They have ramps in the back which was sweet.
We got a little session in before they had to paint the ramps. All in all the trip was fun.
 Hello internet world. As you all know I have an injured thumb, so I’ve been off work for a week or so. Here’s my little buddy Otis I’ve been hanging out with. He’s just the entertainment I needed while I was taking it easy .
I got my stitches out today, so I’m hoping to be doing some of this soon.
Well I went up to cleveland and rode rays for two days this weekend, and It was amazing. If you have ever been there you know exactly what I am talking about. If you havent then you are completely missing out!
This is out in front of the Giant Taiwan factory. BMX’er carved in stone. Show me another company that has that, I dare you. Badass.
So Last week I was at the Giant China factory, and now this week I’m over at the Giant Taiwan factory. I went up on the roof of the offices and took a couple shots of the factory to try and show how big it is. Everytime I come here I’m amazed. The Taiwan factory specializes in higher end adult bikes, particularly Mountain and Road as well as all the high end carbon fiber bikes for Giant and many other companies. You can see Semi Truck trailers down on the left. Click in it to see it bigger…
After working a long day Friday I managed to accidentally cut my thumb terribly bad on a broken wine bottle. I sat in the hospital for 4 hours, and received 17 stitches. Knowing that Saturday would be a sunny warm day you could say I was more than bummed out.
In true Ohio fashion, the weather went from bitter cold to warm pretty much over night. Last week it was in the upper 20’s and looked like this.

And this week it has been almost 60 degrees almost everyday. Crazy.
I’m over in China at our factory right now wrapping up 2011 bikes, checking over production and what not. Here’s a couple quick random shots from our China factory.  These aren’t all BMX bikes, but you get a glimpse of a very small fraction of Giant …
Troy’s got a great  interview up on ESPN about joining the Giant team. Check it out!!!!!
IÂ got this text today from Tony Cherry.
“It’s a beautiful 35 degrees out. Takin’ advantage of it. Woop!”
Looks like he and Troy are soaking up the sun and clocking footage in sunny Ohio…
Here’s a new edit of Tony Cherry killing it on the streets!

Behind the scenes for quite some time we have been helping the whole Nitro Circus Crew with some bikes. So when they decided to do a tour on a Mega Ramp in Australia we decided to hop on board and outfitted them with a bunch of bikes.
Of course we decided to do something a little more special with Jolene’s bike. This is a little sneak peak of Travis Chipres building it. More video of actual riding and the tour to come.
Filmed and edited by Giant Photog Jake Orness on a Canon 7d.
Enjoy the vid:
