rjs is part owner? of atlas. hes connected in some way. anyways hes got us all talkin about atlas!!! heres what i want to know. how much did that cost?? for rv to wear and endorse atlas. my guess is 100k?? per year.
That is Rick Sharen I think, Brady Sharen's father.....He goes by RJS on mx forum as well....They own, or are the investors in Atlas and Matrix.......I think Brady and RV have been buddies since they were little kids...

I'm not a part owner, just a dad who is proud of his son and his partners for designing and creating the best neck brace ever made.

Blackfoot has bought quite a few of them, and I would have thought they still had some in stock. You might want to give them a call and make sure.

Kawasaki re-homologated the KX250, stuck a set of air forks on it and an APT smartcarb. 197lbs, as smooth as a fourstroke with that carb technology. He says he loves it. 59 whp on renegade fuel, don't tell VP. He jumped on the bike with Tedesco's (the test rider) suspension settings and immediately dropped a full second off his previous 450 lap time.

Then, they actually set the sag on it. Williamson said he is just thrilled to be working on something with so many less moving parts.

Really looking forward to A1.
Great choice of running the new APT SmartCarb. Was wondering how true the rumor was as I didn't see it in the pictures. Anyone have any more information on that?

There was a bunch sitting on the "neck brace" wall, you should have spent more time shopping rather than bench racing with me ......lol. Nice to meet you again Sarg.

Thanks for the FYI Rick....Those braces look cool and I really like the unique design of the floating back piece. Good luck to Brady and his business. I'll be running one of your sons braces this spring....

"Best neck brace ever made" ???

I'm assuming that's just your opinion? (which you're certainly entitled too)

Yes, that is my opinion, and also the opinion of pretty much everyone who has tried one.

Thats exactly my point and ill bet even at one point before the "Groundbreaking Announcement" it was another but SHHHHHHHHHH dont tell anyone OR I know something HUGE but cannot tell you what it os because its gonna be crazy.

This was the biggest letdown of the year in announcements...........double facepalm.......Ryan Villopoto's BIG Announcement was only big to 4 people: RV Himself because hes getting PAID, his Agent, Alpinestars, and Atlas..... Other than that I cant see how this is a 'BIG' announcement ..... Who in the F is in charge in this industry at all? Anyone?....Anyone?? ANYone??? Its severely lacking in professionalism a lot of the time.

Some other exciting major industry anouncements...

Rockstar Suzuki spokesman Joe "Bud" Jones anounced today a major change in their program with a new partnership with Iron Lock Inc. "We are excited to anounce that for the 2013 season we have made the switch to exclusively using Iron Lock zip ties on all our race bikes. They are 5% stronger and 3% lighter than other brands which will really give us a leg up on the competition." he went on to say that "in addition, we have made the switch from black to using yellow zip ties. Our riders are excited with the new look and love the new zip ties performance."

22 Motosports anounced today that they have acquired a new Bobcat loader to help groom the tracks at Chad Reeds facility. Chad Reed said on twitter after the news had leaked out "Yeah, it's great. it really pushes that dirt around."

Yoshimura Suzuki anounced today that rider James Stewart had a setback today when he developed a rash on his big toe after a pedicure. "It's a bummer" Stewart said, "I can't wear flip flops anymore and it itches and I can't scratch it when I am wearing boots." Doctors, however, expect him to make a full recovery. "Whatever it takes, I will work through it and be on the gate at A1 for my fans" a stoic Stewart anonounced on Twitter.
