I was getting emails/request for info on my facebook page from dealers around the world wanting to know who, what, when, where, they could get there hands on it and if they could distribute. (not my job however) I do some PR for them, helped with some design stuff and oh yeah...... kept flying the flag was the company was not in business. This is just the begining, they have some cool stuff planned and Im pretty pumped about the whole thing despite it taking a lot longer then i thought it would. (the business side of starting up a company from almost scratch is crazy)
As far as anoyone suggesting that there has been nothing but "puke gear" recently that is just ridiculous. There has been no shortage of relatively clean and traditional color schemes from the major players every year for the last decade. You can have clean good looking gear without having to make it look dated and lame.
I think it's cool to include all those legends of the sport in the marketing campaign, but I think they will need to hire some young guns active in the sport right now to get it to really takeoff. I'm 29 and I grew up with Fox, AXO, etc.. as main the brands so I don't get the same warm fuzzy feeling looking at the new JT ads as some of the older guys here. For me it's looking at older Fox ads with RC, MC, Reynard, Henry, etc...

The JT gear looks pretty good, but each color has the same red, white, blue, and silver chest logo and that doesn't look right. I know for copyright reasons they can't get away with the branding they used to, and this may kill it for me. Unless they find a way to do a better logo on the chest of the jersey. Also, the logo on the pants is not the same as the logo on the jersey. I like the old school logo better myself, but either way choose one style and run it. I'm pretty sure that back in the day they used to take the stylized JT out of the JT racing usa logo and make it bigger for use on the pants.
I hope they didn't blow their wad on gear that's unfinished looking, because with just a few tweaks it could be awesome.
You can tell from a picture a helmet doesnt look safe/sturdy?? You can predict a failure with a product without ever even trying it??? haha You guys should quit your day job and work in the moto industry, you would make millions with that talent.
I guess guys like Bailey and the owners who had tons of business and moto success with other companies should be asking you guys how to run a moto clothing company.
I said I really like the gear, but I don't like the look of the helmet. I guarantee there are others who disagree and love it. That's the way things go within the fashion industry.... but wait, you work in the moto industry so you already knew that.... silly me.
Obviously the helmet is safe or they wouldn't sell it. I was referring to the look/style of the helmet.
"Maybe you should listen to the people that are buying the stuff instead of getting defensive" .....ahhhhh You ARENT buying it, you said "its crap and it will fail"" do you even read your own post? I know how to buy a good looking steak at the deli, but it doesnt mean I know how to cut up the cow. I dont tell the electrician how to wire my house either, or the guy that pumps the septic tank the best way to do it. Point is, when you have experts in these fields, there is a reason why they get paid to do the job. This motocross stuff is your hobby, dont act like you have all the answers or you would be working in the business.
""You're right. I don't work in the moto industry. I ride motocross and buy motocross products. Didn't know working in moto industry was a prerequisite for posting my opinion in a motocross forum for motocross fans""........ Its requirement if you are gonna make a manufacturing/safety statements like " helmet doesnt look safe/sturdy" You even admitted you dont work in the industry so why would feel qualified to make such a statement?
In this day of cyber posting ANYONE can post anything even if they know less than nothing and they declare it as fact. Then they get bowed up when you point out to them they dont know what they are talking about.
Vet riders are the ones witih the cash so fuck the kids - play to the old dudes and observe as the duckets roll in.
BMan-
I'm pretty sure by "stuff" he was referencing the fact that we as consumers are the ones buying motocross gear, but you are correct that it probably won't be JT gear. Mr. O'Hannah, I believe you are too close to the issue to look at it objectively. They even give you a shout out on page 29ish of their catalog ad. (Thanks for your service to our country by the way) Ultimately the consumers will decide what sells and what doesn't. I'm not making any judgements on the quality, durability, etc. of this JT gear, but I know that I don't like the way it looks so I'm not going to spend my hard earned money on it. I also felt that the 32 page ad as a whole was a big swing and miss as far as my tastes are concerned, and as I said before I'm a fan of old school motocross.
Plan on being there next year if Dave will loan me a bike. The beer tent there is always epic and there are some good pubs in Hungerford, just up the hill, that should help fullfill your wishes .
You coming out to the Pala national ?
I havent seen the ad or the catalog, Ive been on the road for months. (Thanks for the Military props by the way)
Yeah if folks dont like the style, I get that, but let me tell you you, they are doing things like using real leather in the knees and sparing no expense on the products and are hiring some of the best guys in the industry to develop the products. Time will tell.......

what these people are saying are a snap reaction to looking over the product line as laid out in the racer x catalog.
this forum gives you a chance to respond to those sentiments but that doesn't mean that snap opinions are not valuable.
maybe consider this forum to be something of a customer base, and this is the initial feedback that the marketplace is giving to the product.
aight?
Construction is similar to No Fear with baggy leg fit probably to accommodate knee braces. The zipper is frikken short, too short and the back too high. No knee pad pockets in the leg and the gay sewn on padding is retro BMX stuff. Buckle is great. They need to try harder imo.
I also hope they don't take the name to trash the way they did it with Ed Hardy and Von Dutch, from good names to hoes and white trash uniform. Jersey Shore in JT soon?
Ha ha ha, O'Hannah without name dropping isn't O'Hannah.
You're obviously too close to this because what I said wasn't that crazy of statement. As a consumer of motocross products, I can have an opinion on the style and look of a helmet. I don't have to be an engineer to look at one of those mini-cooper small cars and say I don't like the style of the car and it doesn't look safe. Because I'm not an engineer, I may be wrong and the car may be the safest car on earth... but as a consumer that's my opinion based off of the appearance of the car. That's all I was basing my opinion on... the appearance of the helmet. And since we're on the internet in a forum and I can't put a helmet on, that's all I have to go on. I don't state it as a fact anywhere in my post.
