Get’em Boy is not just another or typical clothing company. It has been described as bold, energetic, and at first, somewhat controversial. As you get to know Get’em Boy, you will find these to be true but not with a negative notion. Get’em Boy’s logo is a Pit bull which, at first, always seemed to be perceived negatively by most. However, upon further investigation, you’ll find out that all is positive. Our brand has nothing to do with the controversy that surrounds the pit bull breed. Like many things, Get’em Boy was birthed in struggle and many challenges, but unlike a lot of things, the owners at Get’em Boy believe in the philosophy of “The greater the struggle the bigger the reward!”
Pit bulls by nature are characteristically competitive and, in the spirit of competition, continually persevere. We like that quality because that is the attitude we foster and promote. Additionally, the Bulldog/Pit never sees things as a hurdle but rather an adventure or a goal, like a challenge that must be conquered. There is never any thought of quitting or stopping until that goal is achieved. The great rocky Marciano once said, “My only fear in life is losing.” Well, Get’em Boy’s philosophy is the same. Quitting or stopping is not an option. Although winning might not be everything, your attitude will be the formula for success or failure. Get’em Boy embraces struggles without excuses, meets life’s challenges without running away, and always faces negativity with a positive outlook and attitude. All challenges are welcomed. This is what Get’em Boy is all about. It’s not just a lifestyle, it’s an attitude we wear proudly. We’re not just another name to saturate today’s apparel market with the same old stuff. For us, this is a family of woven individuals that are striving to create quality products that consumers will love and appreciate.
When all is said and done, Get‘em Boy is the constant pursuit of quality & perfection personified by an unwavering resolve to set trends and exceed goals, against all odds.

New Online Video Magazine For Motorcyclists
Long Beach, California – February 18, 2010 – ThrottleHand.com is an online video magazine dedicated to providing motorcyclists a form of media equal in excitement to the sport of motorcycling. ThrottleHand combines its own unique programming with the uploaded content of its members to create an environment where subscribers can control, and even participate in their own media experience. ThrottleHand is a destination for motorcycle enthusiasts to network, socialize and promote their individuality.
“We mixed Speed Channel, YouTube and Facebook together, stripped them of any
non-motorcycle related material and created a news, entertainment and social web experience devoted to motorcycling,” said Tom Roderick, the site’s creator.
Feature Videos produced by ThrottleHand are 10 to 20 minutes long with brief commercial interruptions. Current stories include: a day with the Screamin’ Eagle Vance & Hines Pro Stock drag race team, an interview with Peter Starr, the director of Take It To The Limit, Doug Polen’s 1on1 Riders School, and bike reviews: Honda DN-01, Suzuki C50T, Aprilia Tuono R and Yamaha YZ450F. More videos including a review on the Ducati Streetfighter, a Race Tech suspension adjustment story and interview with Race Tech owner, Paul Thede, are currently underway.
The ThrottleBlog section is a catch-all for non-video related content including news, press releases, new products, etc. The page includes an email link to submit material for consideration.
In the Classifieds section ThrottleHand members can list bikes or other motorcycle-related items for sale, and it too includes a video component so interested parties can see and hear the bike a member is selling.
ThrottleHand also includes a social component. Free membership allows motorcyclists to upload their own videos and photos, and network with other motorcyclists. If you’re a part of a motorcycle club or organization you can promote it in the Clubs section.
“There’s always been a lack of quality motorcycle programming on television because the advertising isn’t there to support it,” said Roderick. “The growing speed of internet connections and the convergence of television and online video allows us to produce the stories you would otherwise only read about.”
Tom Roderick has been involved with motorcycling and media for 20 years. He owns a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism and has held editorial positions at a variety of motorcycle consumer and trade magazines. His familiarity with both the powersports and media industries provide him clear insight into creating this new online video media format.

I recently wrote a series of articles about Apple’s recent public announcement of it’s new flagship device, “The iPad”. Five years ago, it seemed as if everyone had an iPod; Two years ago, virtually everyone had to have an iPhone; Now, the iPad is coming. If all the hype holds true, the iPad’s popularity is likely to surpass both of it’s stablemates and become the new “must-have” gadget of the decade. I’m interested in hearing your opinion on the subject. Click on the links below to follow the story and give your feedback:

Steadily carrying out the bidding of her queen. Such is the life of a worker bee…
My work schedule is usually extremely demanding; at times it even seems overwhelming, but it pales in comparison to the work ethic of the average Worker Bee.
After snapping this photo, I looked up a few interesting (random) facts about “Worker Bees”. Did you know that all Worker Bees are females without reproductive capabilities? So what do the guys do all day?
Here’s a link with more random info about Worker Bees

Have you ever wondered why they call them “Ladybugs”?
I was playing around with my camera the other day and I spotted a little ladybug crawling through the grass. As I adjusted my lens to get her in focus, I thought to myself, “What if this ladybug is actually a dude…”. Then I thought, “Who came up with the name ‘Ladybug’ anyway????”.
Random? Yes, but that’s just how my mind is wired. I am a “creative” type, so I tend to ponder on minutiae that often goes unnoticed by most “normal” people. Even worse, I am usually inclined to thoroughly research my random thoughts; some may call it over analyzing, but “thoroughly research” sounds more practical to me.
The general scientific name for a ladybug is “Coccinellidae“, but there are over 500 different species in North America. That’s about as thorough as my scientific research is going to get, but I did find out an interesting fact about the origin of the name, “Ladybug”: back in the medieval era, the insect was deemed the official bug of the Virgin Mary…go figure!
Anyway, as I digress, above is the picture that resulted from my random thought pattern. I think it’s kinda cool…and I definitely that that ladybug is a dude!

Meet Eric Hoenshell
Every sport has a small fraternity of elite athletes that rise to the top of their game and epitomize the term, “Professional”. What’s the difference between an amateur and a professional? Some may think it’s the money, but that’s not necessarily the case. Getting paid to perform is just a bi-product of years of dedication and hard work. The true difference is: amateurs practice until they get it right, while professionals practice until they can’t get it wrong. Showtime is only the tip of the iceberg for professionals. It’s safe to say that most top pros spend nearly 90 percent of their week practicing or honing skills. The other 10 percent is the part the fans get to see; mind-blowing performances that make you say, “How did he do that?”
The Kid is a Natural
Eric Hoenshell, is one of those elite athletes. In the world of sportbike freestyle, Eric is considered to be a natural. Anyone fortunate enough to have witnessed his fluid style and robust arsenal of highly skilled tricks just might assume that Eric was born on a bike. As a matter of fact, that assumption wouldn’t be far from the truth. Hoenshell straddled his first bike (a Honda 50cc model) at the tender age of two years old and was racing on the mini track before he turned three. By the age of six, Eric could wheelie his BMX bike with precision and he made the front wheel of his motorcycle point skyward by the age of 12. The rest, as they say, is history.
It wasn’t long before Hoenshell claimed his first official practice spot. He and a few of his friends from his hometown of Oklahoma City dubbed the location, “Airport Road” and they practiced there nearly every day. Eric spent countless hours at his hometown stunt-spot sharpening his skills and he eventually turned pro. Now, at the age of 25, Hoenshell is a full-time professional sportbike stunt rider and spends most of his year traveling across the country, performing with Jason Britton and Team No Limit.
Eric has appeared on dozens of television shows and in several stunt videos throughout his young career and the one thing that stands out just as much as his riding is Hoenshell’s unique sense of humor. One can only imagine the antics that occur on the Team No Limit tour bus; between Eric’s wacky pranks and Jason’s witty remarks, it’s safe to assume that there’s never a dull moment during those grueling cross-country treks. “It gets fun on the No Limit Bus!!” says Hoenshell, “When you’re on there for 20 to 50 hours at a time, it gets crazy!”
Life as a professional sportbike stunt rider is demanding and, at times, down right painful. Eric takes the marathon road trips in stride and always manages to bounce back from the inevitable injuries, because such is the life of a dedicated professional. His most significant injury to date is a severely broken thumb that he suffered while performing at Myrtle Beach Bike Week in 2007. “I
broke my right tumb real bad! I lost about 90% of movement in my thumb and had to learn how to ride with my fingers.”
When he’s not on the road performing his duties as a rock star stunt rider, Hoenshell likes to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. “I hang out with my dogs and play PS3. In the summer I have a jet ski that I take out with some friends”, says Eric. His time off is seldom and vacations are few and far between. At the time of this interview, Eric was enjoying a short stint on the homestead, but mentioned that he was soon scheduled to hit the road again with Jason Britton and Team No Limit. The tour is certain to pass by a city near you, so be sure to check his website for the tour schedule. Eric Hoenshell’s performance at a Team No Limit stunt show is definitely a sight worth seeing!
