What I am thankful for

There are many things I am thankful for. Mostly the love of my life, Stephanie. Without her I would more than likely not be here as she give me meaning and love. I am most definitely thankful for my boy Ghost without him we would not have One Ghost Industries. For it is Ghost who makes me want to be a better human and the person he thinks I am. I am thankful for finding our other little joy Freida. the silly lab/pit/heeler mix we found living under a car in the back roads of Pecos, NM one day. She has turned out to be one of the most awesome, wonderful additions and a very dear friend to all of us.
I am thankful for all of you and all of my friends I have known and will yet meet, for those we have lost and are watching over us and the wonderful, unexplainable thing called life. My world is full of blessings and I can go on about material things like having a roof over my head, food in my belly and clean drinking water and no one running up on me in the afternoon with an AK-47. I don't live in Somalia or Tibet or Serbia. I don't need to watch over my shoulder and can freely life my life within moral law and for that I am thankful as well.
My life growing up was not the easiest but to put it in perspective for myself, even though I have been homeless and have had my @$$ handed to me a few times on the streets as a child but I made it this far with lots of help from teachers, family and friends and for them, I am deply thankful

Without all of them, we would not have this:

Quite possibly the most advanced downhill race bike on the planet. 40 lbs out of the box, 240mm (9.6") of sweet, bottomless and super plush travel/ long, low and mean and able to handle anything you throw it down!
So one more thing to be thankful for today..

Downhill, dark, loamy soil and epic singletrack full of rocks and roots and drops!

Here is the final draft of the 2009 Team kit for the One Ghost Industries Factory team. Shorts by Jett MTB, jerseys made through the Jett/3Sixty Group. I'll post the sweet flex fit hats later (which will be available for retail!)

Look ma! we all up in the news!

So we got this totally cool write up in Pink Bike.com today. Yeah. Props to Terri-Anne Howard for the interview and getting it posted.
I built up the Wakazashi TR. today (Trail) basically a trail duty version of the slope style frame. more all mountain meets freeride than freeride meets BMX if you catch my drift. I'll post some pics of it tomorrow after I get it dirty. Our first batch of prototype Katana frames are being sent back from heat treat (my oven here at the lunchbox labs is not that big contrary to popular belief) so there will be much rejoicing in the house here real soon.
Check the vid to the right to learn more.
Peace.
