This is super weird because I was under the impression that Giant was dropping their entire BMX program all together…guess not. Here’s the two newest mystery riders..check their bikes out after the jump. Judging by the Peg Leg stickers on the second bike im gonna guess maybe like..Travis Splain? Alex Raban? What do you guys think?

UPDATE: Look at the top bike’s stem. I’m pretty sure it’s Troy Merkle who has been frame sponsor-less for the past few months since he quit Stolen. – Adam

    Do what? Get rid of an expensive contest rider Cory Bohan, an injury prone TAJ and the sadly irrelevant Heath Pinter?

    And giving some young up and comers a shot?

    You’re right how dare they!

    Yeah great move on Giants part, get rid of a living legend and arguably one of the most stylish riders in the world for two dudes they don’t have to pay. Good thing nobody is going to buy a fucking Giant anyway.

    The bottom person is wearing a HardcoreSportz TShirt. Which is Karl’s shop. So I’m guessing its gonna be someone who’s a good friend of Karl Poynters. Most likely someone who rides for Shadow or Eastern.

    WTF? How could ya drop Bohan, and say thtas it for BMX, then this. Fucking Bohan….cunt is the man! If they had trouble selling bikes before, imagine how much chance they got now.

    Okay listen. I’ve been around the block a bit, and i’ll tell you exactly who they are.

    Top bike belongs to Josh Smalls. He’s from arizona and he’s one of the best riders i know, he once drank 2 40′s in 5 minutes, then fought a bum and lost. Best fight ever.

    The second belongs to myself. They sponsored me because i got by the name Old School out here in Arizona. You can ask any of the kids out here in Arizona and they’ll say “Old School? Man he got all the parks biult out here.” they love me.

    So anyone with any doubts can go to my website and see, I AM THE HEART OF BMX IN ARIZONA!

    Jason Ryan,

    Okay listen. I’ve been around the block a bit, and I will stroke every shaft and suck every ball and eat every bunghole on this mother fucker if just one of you can come to Arizona and put Jason Ryan in the hospital. This cocky shithead has the nerve to work on getting bikes into skateparks and ask that we help him to do it! And me and my friends go to the parks and ride them and have to watch this old man ride fucking circles around us! It’s not fair, guuuuuyys! And all of us are way too scared of him to ever step up and say a goddamn thing to his face, or leave our real names when we lie, I mean talk, about him on the internet.

    So what do you say, guys? Every cock, every ball, every last fucking stinky asshole. Think about it….
