Has this been discussed?

Seems a bit silly to say the least.

I'm on Matthes side here. The conditions were bad at Washougal and Budds Creek and almost everyone lost their goggles. It's stupid to blame the goggle guy or the goggles themselves. It happens. He may feel he can get more money for wearing another brand

Basically Tickle had to throw his goggles in the first moto at Washougal and took a rock to the eye. Then when Matthes went to give him his goggles for the second moto Tickle said that he didn't want to wear EKS brand anymore because he'd had problems with them at Washougal and Budds. Matthes was like yeah no shit everyone everyone did it's not the goggles fault

^^^ IF that is the way it went down, that was a crap-tastic move on Tickle's part.

I think Tickle also coped a rock to the eye area.

Has anyone here tried EKS goggles? They do look pretty cheap, weird that he decided to completely switch brand between 2 motos.

Meh Broc Tickle doesn't even have a facebook fan page...


Question: Did EKS brand used to be called X brand? or has it always been EKS? Im confused.

They are pretty comfy. I have one with a mirrored lens when the sun's out. The lens got a few scratches already so it's not the best quality but that's what you pay for compared to a €150,- airbrake.

It's not when you consider that 80% of them come from the same building in Taiwan.

You don't suppose the rider's team owner had anything to do with Tickle's attitude toward Mathizss, do you...

surprised no one pointed that out, previously.

Thought it for sure but you'd really like to hope not... Then again Kenny doesn't want to train with Aldon either.

It's pretty silly tho to say I had problem with your goggles in two mud races where EVERYONE threw goggles, and then have the shits you copped a rock but also admit you should have come in for new goggles when mud had hit em. No goggles are impervious to the right mud clod getting stuck...

I wear EKS now: they're fine.

No one's goggles did exceptionally well in that mud.

When did he throw them though, was it early in each moto or later into each race?

Noticed most riders seemed to keep their goggles until late in both motos on the weekend.

Seemed most only through them after running out of roll-offs.

At that level if you felt that there was a piece of equipment that you were using was not working why would you not change things up.

You are right, no goggles are impervious to the right amount of mud, but it does not mean some brands are better or worse than others.

I have never worne EKS, so can't comment on them Smile

The goggle is inconsequential as is the time frame. He got blasted and it stuck, that's why he tossed em. Which means the goggle brand or prep wouldn't have mattered...

Tickle is the same guy who supposedly never paid his trainer (Charles Dao, I think) after his SX championship. When you know things like that, hearing this goggle drama doesn't surprise me in the least.

Matthes knows about stuff like this and sometimes I think Matthes' greatest contribution isnt what he SAYS but rather how much he MUST bite his tongue when shit like this happens.

Here we go again. Tickle is going to be the popular guy to bash this week on vital. Anyone want to place bets who it will be next week? He wasn't comfortable with the f'ing goggle, get over it. He doesn't need something dumb like goggles on his mind during the race. Put a different kind on and move along

In his defense, I like my dog more than I like most people in this world.

He signed a contract and took money from EKS Brand. Shouldn't he have to keep his end of the deal?

New things have come to light man. A lot of ins, lot of outs, lot of what-have-yous.

I've had at least 5 or 6 of them by now and they are great goggles. Good foam, comfortable frames. Never a single issue with any of them.
