Chris Arriaga... and Rick Thorne Sig Shoes!



Some of you out there might remember the name Chris Arriaga from a few years ago sponsored by KINK and ripping it up at parks across America featured on Props videos doing huge icepicks and alike well a little interview with him has popped up on the espn site! he's now the "Global Youth Product Developer" for Giant Bikes. It's one of the best things i've seen on the web for a while.

"We went to the E.R. but they couldn't do anything because they'd never seen anything so bad. He spent the night home alone puking and tripping out from all the bee venom. Ha"

"I've learned two main things about life's crappy situations. One is that things are always going to get better. And two is that, at some point, things are going to be crappy again.... Once you can get yourself to accept that everyday isn't rainbows and butterflies, you'll be happier"

There is also a good little edit of riding at the Giant headquarters warehouse ramps (also featuring the one and only Corey Bohan! man... that guy is everywhere! ha)

Check it out here

...but don't fall to in love with Giant. they just dumped Taj Mihelich off the team. you should remember the post about his back surgery from a while ago!

But in other news... Rick Thorne! Former Hoffman Bikes rider, Vans Warped Tour demo expert, TV presenter and all round celebrity bad arse has released a Signature shoe on Draven.


You can actually buy this brand in Darwin! I thought it was available at VOGUE BODYPIECING.
but now i think it's OFFYATREE in the mall.  The shoe looks pretty cool with a bandana print on it. almost as good as the zombie ryan guettler vans that i bought a while back. ha.
