It's shit from the word go. Mad Mike Jones needs to be ashamed of himself for sticking his name to it. He's in his 40's for Christ sakes. Skull's are so 1980's.


These companies should speak to the marketing staff from No Fear. Once they began to add skulls and go Gothic with there casual wear, stores began to boycott their shit. Keep it moto interest and not so satanic and it will sell....even to kids who don't ride MX.
That reminded me of this. I think Alan Winters is the Sikspak marketing research guy.

Dollars, homeboy.

I think it is awful looking stuff, however, i think you are giving our youth WAY too much credit for even knowing what that symbolism really stands for...... WAY too much credit!

Also they have the shirt called Leviticus 20:13 with the masked guy dual wielding pistols on it. Seems harmless until you look up what Leviticus 20:13 says


"Leviticus 20:13 (New International Version)


13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."


Sikspak seems like a classy company huh?

"Today, those who enjoy free riding in the deserts, mountains, hills, tracks, and beaches represent SIKSPAK’s idea. It is that free flowing feeling when one is pinned in 5th gear down pole line road, shooting propane tanks with 45’s, or something as simple as throwing a six-pack to win the horseshoe game and grab another beer. It is the modern Cowboy riding over the land without anybody telling you different."

they better have another look at that Leviticus t-shirt because that mission statement is definitely gay.

Its a "HardCore" company .....likely from the good ol 909. Those guys out there glorify and act proud of being trailer trash. Seriously it's kind of like a fashion thing.....I don't get it and it makes me laugh when I see people wearing that crap, either on the bike with black plastics .....all Bro'd out. LOL.....SICK BRO!!!!!

I'll bet they only make black shirts too....
How about the 858

They are out of San Diego.

I wonder what someone outside this sport thinks when they pick up the mag and see the "SS" typeface and the nazi eagle on all over the place?

I know that the MM has has stuff like this for awhile, but to me this is really over the top.

While I cant stand sikspak in anyway whatsoever, I wouldnt jump on the nazi thing so quick. Theyre eagle isnt the same design as a nazi one and that stylized S is used by other logos such as the band Kiss.

Come on man. Don't be naive brother. Sure each thing individually doesn't nessesarily point to the nazis but you add up the Confederate flag,the SS and the Eagle(which is damn similiar) and it's a pretty easy conclusion.Not to mention the out of line shit like the woman bound and gagged,or the chick w/pistols pointed at each of her tits. I'm not saying companies like this need to be shut down but the damn sure need to be kept out of MX mags. If my wearing that shit they'd have a huge problem when they came home.
Oh and by the way 3/4 of the group Kiss is jewish so I doubt anyone mistaked them for Nazis.
Just playing devils advocate. Like I said, I dont care for the company in anyway, but as someone else mentioned sikspak knowing what that symbolism meant is giving them too much credit.

Down here in the "740" - me and my boys (Medieval Mulisha) sometimes enjoy

flashing sick gang signals and donning period costumes from the renaissance -

oftentimes, when we're feeling devilish, we break out the ramps and ride

dirt-bikes into the beds of our trucks.

One hoodlum in our posse likes to crank up his old Steely Dan cassettes and get rowdy,

he's been shunned,

Ok, we admit it. We are Satin worshipers. Now that we have confessed, it must be stated that Satin is a cruel and demanding master indeed. Although having a reputation as lovely and sensual fabric, he is in fact quite evil and possesses a mind of his own. Whether in a delicious shade of ethereal oyster shell or a deadly midnight blue this cloth simply lives to break your heart. When dealing with him one would benefit from skills as a lion tamer as well as a seamstress…

So which one is it?

Acronym Definition
ACAB Always Carry A Bible (often a tattoo)
ACAB All Coppers Are Bastards (common British tattoo)
ACAB Air Cavalry Attack Brigade

Or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_A.C.A.B.
The A.C.A.B. is a Malaysian rock band. The band was formerly known as A.C.A.B. from 1994 to 2003 which popularized streetpunk/oi! in the Malaysian underground music scene. The band regrouped in 2005 while adopting indie rock as their genre.

All Cops Are Bastards is right but it comes from a band called Extreme Hatred, they are a WHITE POWER band out of Cali.

I used my free will to ignore it and turn the page. Still like Transworld Motocross. I can discern the difference between advertisers and editorial content.

I nearly had an epileptic seizure on the crapper when I flipped open the ad on the back page of the latest issue. Once I regained consciousness, I couldn't even figure out what they were trying to sell.

I would be lying if I didn't say the chicks are amazing on their ads.. I thought the most recent 2 page ad was unclear what they were selling. Is it strippers? or your soul? I really never liked the death metal goth and all the deathly creative designs. There is only one persons stuff I ever like was the guy that does all the art for Iron Maiden.. That was the shit. These designs I think go hand to hand with the tattoo and piercing craze.. I've seen alot of Metal Mullisha shirts at the mall lately. I thought they where all stupid and look how successful they are.. Their rich and main stream now.. Haven't seen anyone wearing the Sixpak crap yet, but all this bad publicity is likely going to start selling more..

It is not a 909 company, sikspak is probably out of Huntington Beach (714 listed on their website) or san diego brah! same place all that rubbish MMA clothing is from.

Southern California is full of white trash douchebags that are into their look. Unfortunately, there is a market for what they sell. Like it or not, it's a free market.

I did miss the A.CA.B. - All Cops Are Bastards- it comes from a band called Extreme Hatred, they are a WHITE POWER band out of Cali.

Swap is a fuckin joke, IMHO. He berates other magazines for advertising cheap helmets, but he allows hate clothing?? And anyone who believes that this doesn't influence young kids is crazy.

I noticed another thing while we're on the subject. Sikspak's myspace page links to Shawn Highland's and he lists his age as 88, which is a neo-nazi symbol. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 means HH or "Heil Hitler."

And we have these people showing up in major motocross magazines. Nice.

Ummmmm, I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't run it on purpose. I never pay attention to that stuff, but I'm sure that others do. Hopefully they get it out of the mag.

I'm sure Sikspak appreciates all the free exposure. I'd never heard of them myself until I read this thread. Looks like taking the controversial route is working out for them.

Not to beat a dead horse , but I looked up this guy Highland and here is the first thing that comes up, courtesy of Pingree -

"I agree with you about Shawn Highland though; that kid is an absolute waste of oxygen. He used to be a pretty decent racer years ago and then he made an attempt to get into freestyle competition. But after failing at both of those ventures he turned to the only thing that he could do to attract attention: being an idiot—with hateful tattoos to boot. And in the process he crapped all over motocross as a sport and the athletes that compete in it. The sad thing is that he didn’t even win at racing. I wonder what the next step down is for him? The Klan?"

Nice.

I don't think there is any more doubt what and who SIKSPAK represents as a company (they are based here in San Diego apparently).
