Anyone got the story behind this?
I remember Dan Sani from back in the day. (Rode for Suzuki as an amateur, had a cool little part in the prospects video when he won mammoth) but I don’t know his relationship with the DBK brand or Twitch.

Seems twitch is offended that JLaw kept it real. Hard to believe that was JLaw that actually posted that message to begin with.

There is so much to be speculated here.

Is there a DBM (Dirt Bike Men) sister brand? I'd probably be interested in purchasing a shirt with a different brand name. I just can't bring myself as a grown man in his 30's to wear anything implying that I'm still a kid.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Assuming “DBK” is spin-off of the skateboarding brand “DGK.” They’re pumping a shit ton of money into the sport, even if it is just in the pit bike game right now.

Breathe, man.

I simply implied that I like the style of the clothing, but I'm personally not a fan of grown men wearing a brand that makes them all think they are still kids. Sorry that it rubbed you the wrong way.

Wasn’t it originally “Dumb Broke Kids” then Twitch changed it?

Has anybody ever even heard about this crap before yesterday? I sure hadn't so who cares. It's not like either of these dudes influence anyone with half a brain.

I'm no spring chicken...I'm an old guy. But, I've watched Twitch develope this brand into something AND "put something back" into our sport with DBK.

Oh, and, I don't wear the Chinos/Ben Davis/Huge Shorts & all that...But, it's a look that's always worked for Twitch. That's "who he is" and the DBK stuff he sells is actually pretty damn nice. The Anthem T screams "Murica!" and the LT. Dan Windbreaker is excellent for after-surf/ski.

I, for one, am proud of the dude and what he's accomplished. He's spent over a decade promoting the simple idea that what we do is fun and is a huge component of "who we are".

I like what he's done with his brand.

I'm jus' diggin' it...

I’ve got no hate for DBK as a brand. It’s not “for me”. I personally wouldn’t wear it, and that’s ok!
But what is cool is sponsoring the pala national.
That as core moto as it gets, and right on to Twitch and the DBK guys.
But my question was more to the back story on the brand?
What does Dan Sani have to do with any of this?

I’m sure I’ll get a little hate here but the thing that’s a little sketchy to me is the DBK brand openly promoting weed smoking on their IG and having apparel to support the same... Tethered to kids, AMA pro motocross and national mentions on NBCSports... Guess it’s the sign of the times 😬

No shortage of good ideas in this world, people that can execute on the other hand are far in between. Congrats Twitch on a job well done!

I’ve watched Twitch grow up, literally. He was a little kid who came to Barona Oaks, Palm Ave and everywhere in between. He and his dad showed up with some clapped out bikes in a shitty truck and were just a broke family with the passion to ride.

I not only commend Jeremy for what he has done but the family he has and the people for supporting him. He saw an opportunity in freestyle and simply busted his ass to get a name for himself. A true rags to riches story by inventing himself to huge demographic in our industry. Look, you may not be into the portrayed lifestyle and that’s fine. That doesn’t mean that lifestyle doesn’t exist.

He didn’t hide from his Tourette’s he actually embraced it. Created a name with it. A true believer in himself. 100%

After he and the Mulisha had a falling out, I sat back and saw a few different clothing brands jump on the Twitch bandwagon. I don’t know the full story there but it appeared they needed him more than he needed them because he eventually went on and built what he has. DBK

By simply watching Instagram, this has come from a garage shop in which he often posted him and his wife doing the day to to day operations, to a now thriving business that just sponsored a national.

Nothjng but respect for this guy. He’s taken the bulls by the horn and pioneered his own way. Giving back to the sport, it also appears that brand hired riders and ex riders that are often seen working at the shop.

In this crazy time time of the world, I would think a story like this would make people motivated and hungry as it shows with hard work and a dream anything can work.

Do you also think it’s a little sketchy that Twisted Tea sponsors a team?

More bad shit happens from drunks than stoners....

Honestly I smoke regularly and have no problem with them promoting it, but I’m kinda with you on the marketing to kids thing. Just an odd move after them fighting against cbd sponsors like... a couple years ago

I don’t think DBK is marketing towards kids. They are after middle age riders who want to keep the ‘kid’ in themselves alive. Twisted tea sponsors a race team and booze is way more impairing then weed is.

Yeah, the kids should be drinking Monster Energy, not smoking weed.

I know it doesn’t. But Dirty Ghetto Kids and Dirt Bike Kidz, DGK/DBK is what I was getting at. Their branding is similar in different sports.
