Out with the old (news)

Well, Christmas has come and gone. Santa got me a new iPhone so that was totally awesome and completely unexpected! Keen and Dakine hooked up the entire R&D "Lab Rat" program for One Ghost with shoes, packs and gloves so that was epic as well! We owe those guys major props for such an epic hook up. I won't go into details but know we have about 22 full time racers/test pilots for One Ghost Industries for 2009.
We got to take a little time off and are still just working on 1/2 staff around here until after New years. We are working on some good things though. I don't really have anything new to report other than the reviews for the test Wakazashi are off the charts, everyone who has ridden them loves them so we will be full steam ahead for production on them. Still waiting for the decals to show up for the painters, should be any day now though. Our Saint crank/BB and brake sets are all back ordered until Feb so it may be a while before we can even ride one of the Katana frames. Tanto pre-production frames will be in mid Feb. in a plethora of color options (ano gold?!?).
so for now, have a safe new year. drink responsibly if you do drink and please don't drive.
keep it real and safe.
peace out.

Looks like winter is here!

Wholly Crap! I never expected Portland to do this but we have 3" of standing snow on the ground, blowing snow, total blizzard conditions right here in the downtown metro area! We are expected to have 4-8" more in the next 24 hours to boot and with that, they are calling for freezing rain on top of the snow come Sunday/Monday. Our poor friends at Dakine are full on snowed in, they have over 20" of snow and the town of Hood River has officially declared a state of emergency and are experiencing a full on blizzard from now though Monday morning!
It is the first day of winter though, co grab some wassail, whiskey and popcorn and kick it by the fire. we are gonna be here a while!
Happy winter everyone
