Hey is anyone familiar with the name of my boots back in 1982 ..black Panther head was the logo.( rodger) rings a bell...but don't know it and I wanted to check them out on line ..but didn't no what to search for or even type ito get me going...I can still smell the boots but I can't remember the dam name of them..I was only 13 ..and I'm 54 now . And 1 died on a trike that year so all me gear was given away before I got to use it .. same as me bike yz125 h .. dam freeky light front end on the yzh and the power band on that modle was extra cool as well.. really hard to keep it Down from lifting up.. and was easy to flip ..... and I called that year a bad year because I died and lost my kidney and spleen and my .appendicitis . It was still a good year for the bikes and rest of things .. just being dead sucked...

I had the plastic M. Robert boots. I loved them. They were made of a softer, slightly flexible plastic unlike the Scott boots. I remember they were extremely light.

Plastic..ok .. that sparks a memory... I think I may of lent my friends boots heaps .. and did they have like a clamp style levers on the side to do them up .. cause I think they were near impossible to push down and clip them shut.. like way to tight.. and maybe the last ones on each side were pulled away from the boots like the pins busted from trying to close them .. . These might of been white ones with red logo thoe.. they were real good . Loved them...i think I pretended they were mine When I used them.... thanks for the memory man.

Run Bmx, Jim Gibson loved them and used them in the 82 and 83 seasons, but usually covered them with boot gaitors.
