Yesterday, a lot of people on here were complaining how ugly all the new Fox gear was and that they wouldn't wear it.
Today, Fox is great and everyones going to buy their stuff because they refuse to support/sponsor a "supercross only" rider, and all the other gear manufacturers suck.

The same guys that whinge and complain and bash riders for taking that path will be glued to their computers come A1 hangin on the results.
Get used to it! It aint goin away!
Fox and JS will be just fine without one another.
Like I said, both bullshit and brilliant at the same time
(Holigan brought up an excellent point in another thread: FOX sponsors the SX only Hart & Huntington team despite their moral obligation to support the Nationals!)
While it's true that Stewart and Reed are probably the two best riders right now, I disagree with that sentiment. Every gear company has its ups and downs with talent. Fox chose not to pursue MC and Pastrana when they were prime. Whether Fox has the same talent in the pipeline now may be a good question, but the company has made good decisions over many years, and I expect it will still be thriving five years from now when Stewart and Reed are long gone from SX.
I'll bet Bobby’s not the only football fan here, yet he obviously expresses his opinion of that sport. I've seen comments on Formula 1, NASCAR, the Olympics, climbing Mt Everest, and a host of other sports. Yet, I'm guessing that very few, if any, of the members here have actually run their Ferrari up to 14,000 rpm's, gone 200 mph around Talladega, competed with Michael Phelps, or met up with a Sherpa to discuss what face to climb on the world's tallest rock.
We're fans of the MX/SX world, are on a message board pertaining to such, and can be expected to comment on what we feel is important to us and the sport.
I have never bought gear because of a rider. I buy what I like, presently have Fox, MSR,and Fly.
If that one rider is JBS your betting on, your money is safer than taking the entire field. Maybe you missed the outdoors?
I like the Fox the gear, so far I think I'm the only one who does. Just don't come off with excuse of a sx only contract to let someone you just said last year has a lifetime contract with you.
any which way, props to Fox... and for Bubba, now is a bad time money wise to be hitting up clothing sponsors for record amounts of money.... doubt if anyone has the cash available to pony up for what he's asking for.... he might have to settle for "best offer" instead of "record deal"....
Who's on the Cover of the 09' Fox catalog?
That should tell you something.
Pit Row
The TV coverage spends more time covering 2-10 then they do the leader.
He has won everything there is to win 125 sx, 125 mx, SX and MX, on Fox and Kawi. Maybe the guy just wants to see if he can do it again with an all new bike and look.
Also, there are more $$ options with seperate helmet, gear, and boot contracts. Not to mention that now he actually gets paid by the BIG energy drink guys. Monster sponsored Kawasaki, not James, so Red Bull is once again shelling out $$ for him. As far as the SX only deal goes that is NOT for certain YET. Last I heard they were still negoiating with Yamaha for MX. If he raced just for the glory of defending his title with NO MX contract, he would be risking injury for NOTHING! In bonus money alone just for the wins he made 1.2 million in 2008, then factor in the bonus for the title!!!!! If no one is willing to pony up for him to race the MX series then WHY would he risk the money that he can make in SX??
I hope that James and Chad both race outdoors!!!!
As for the guys that keep thinking he's gonna race the whole outdoors, you're fooling yourselves.
Hey, Pete! When was the last time you were at a national?
The gear companies are crazy to even give these guys free gear more less pay them millions $ to wear it.
Money down the toilet.
One of my buddies who is a parts manager stopped selling Fox at the dealership when he saw it at the mall. I just think that's funny.
