No worries, I wouldnt be involved if I didnt think it had legs. To close to be objective, No. Perfect example...my last tour in Iraq (5th) I left my cushy office job and volunteered to return.....not because I believed in the mission or wanted to go back but because I wanted to be with my guys. Im able to seperate...

Not getting defensive, just pointing out that people make stupid comments like...." helmet doesnt look safe/sturdy" or "they are going to fail miserably with that stuff guaranteed". Those arent even opinions, its someone typing something and posting it with no facts, experience or having seen, held, used a product, just ignorant. "Maybe you should listen to the people that are...

Riding gear/style is a personal taste, but some of the comment are just ridiculous......." they are going to fail miserably with that stuff guaranteed" or " Like it's just a shell and doesn't look as comfortable or sturdy/safe. Probably perfect helmet for riding vintage bikes, but not for me" You can tell from a picture a helmet doesnt look safe/sturdy...

You have to start somewhere and tapping into the roots of what was an empire at one time is a GREAT place to start. I was getting emails/request for info on my facebook page from dealers around the world wanting to know who, what, when, where, they could get there hands on it and if they could distribute. (not my...

I spoke with the JT Racing folks last year before they unpacked the pants and the roomy knee was one of the features. I have almost all the top riders gear, pants, jerseys, gloves....the gear has no labels or has "sample" and hand written size tags. The gear is custom one off, prototype for the next year and yes Im...

Talk about "no soul" look at most of the gear companies these days, they are owned by huge disrtrib companies and the gear that is "the competition" is all owned and made in the same plant by same designers. At least JT Racing, Fox are owned by a family or individuals who have direct creative input on the product.

So funny, other sports like NASCAR, baseball, football, basketball have throwback jerseys and ask any 10 yr old kid who Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan or Dale Earnhardt is and they know and would run their jerseys in a heartbeat. Motocross come lately fans seem kind of snobish and only willing to accept the gear being worn by top guy who...
