actually the guys name is Mike....i cant remember his last name.... i ran into him awhile back at the strip club where my chick works. he has a pretty sick full custom LBZ chopper.......and he told me to this day he still has the OG LBZ limo....

and FOX had absolutely nothing to do with LBZ........ LBZ stands for Local BoyZ, and started in the OC
Ok I stand corrected. I thought fox had some sort of deal with them similar to Shift, H&H ect. But yes back to team Stiffie

I wonder if decal works or one of the other custom graphics companies could come up with some old stiffie or MotoXXX graphics? Or would they get busted for not having the rights? Jonon? sweedishfish?

MotoXXX's graphics were all mostly done by N-style...... the last couple years(hooters graphics), the graphics were made by an outside source.....not sure about who made the early stuff for them due to i worked there for the later years..... but most of the graphics were printed by N-Style, but MotoXXX had all the rights to sell it and could not be bought direct from N-Style.

im pretty sure you couldnt re-print anyone's artwork without getting in trouble....you might be able to run some one off stuff cause those companys arent going to go after you for one set....but if you had them mass made and try to sale them you would probably be in a lawsuit

It seems more then a few people here on Vital MX have or had questions about the status of Stiffie Motocross Apparel and our former race team. We discontinued production of our MX line back in 2000 for more then one reason. We are actually currently considering a return to the market place. We were probably a bit ahead of our time and we definitely tried to do to much to fast. With that being said, we feel that we left a lot on the table and even 12 years later our designs will hold up. I can answer any questions that anyone of you might have and I am happy to help. You can visit us and our ongoing product line up at www.stiffiebrand.com (that is our new website currently being developed) or feel free to send me an email.

1998 Team Stiffie West Coast SX/ 125 National race team: Jeff Willoh, Shaun Perolio, Michael Brandes (he switched to team Moto XXX before the nationals that year), Jerry Alleman and Brian Deegan (he joined Team Stiffie for the nationals that year).

1999 Team Stiffie West Coast SX race team: Tyler Evans, Charlie Bogard, one other rider I cannot seem to remember and Brian Deegan (he was injured). Here is a picture of Charlie Bogard in action circa 1999:

Awesome!!
Just one request though. Please keep the designs kinda simple and not like that crazy acid trip in the middle of Beavis and Butthead do america that Rob Zombie created. That shit looks cool but not on mx gear and graphics.

Brian was a cool dude, he used to hook me and Radzinski up with those old Tshirts with the cool sayings on them. I still have the submarine one in a box.

I don't mean to be a dick, but is this for real? Comments such as "statue of liberty chick I want to get tattooed" and "the strip club where my chick works" kind of sound like things peelout would write.

Team Stiffie was a bit before my time, but I remember seeing a stiffie ad in a magazine when I was at school. My 11 year old friends and I thought the the name was pretty funny. That bike Deegan is leaning on in the picture above looks sweet.

Hey I actually have one of the graphics framed off of one of the team bikes. We were walking through the pit in Atlanta and the mechanic ripped it off the bike and gave it to my brother. I'm in Cali right now but I will try and see If someone can send me a pic of it

I still have a set of Stiffie gear.. And I used to rock the Stiffie graphics on my old 1990 Suzi 125. I was really pissd off though when the graphics arrived from the US for my 1990 bike and they were the newer type ones (like in the pic of number 144) instead of the way cooler ones with the Statue of Liberty chick.

Wasn't the original Stiffie logo such that the "i" was an upward (flesh) arrow?

not going to get into details about his Post-mx stuff out of respect for his family......he just went down the wrong path once he turned pro
