The Shop
Fox collaborating with another company doesn't bother me in the slightest. They will absolutely make stupid amounts of money off this. For how long? Don't know, but the fad will end sooner or later and who left will buy their product?
A "moto" company paying/marketing these people that steal our hard earned sh!t is batsh!t crazy! Fox says FU to the sport and someone says we are narrow minded?!?!??
That is all. I am fairly sure if I said everything I have to say on this matter I probably wouldn't be allowed back.
Supreme: Supreme is an American skateboarding shop and clothing brand[1][2] established in New York City in April 1994.[3] The brand caters to the skateboarding, hip hop, and rock cultures, as well as to the youth culture in general. The brand produces clothes and accessories and also manufactures skateboards
Volcom: Volcom is a lifestyle brand that designs, markets, and distributes boardsports-oriented products. The company primarily produces clothing, footwear, accessories, and related products for young men and women. Volcom is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, United States (U.S.).
No Fear: No Fear is an American lifestyle clothing brand that was created in 1971 by Mark Simo, Brian Simo, and Marty Moates. No Fear Inc. products are sold at various retail stores, which, before selling hoodies and tees, were part of a candy company owned stores. It also offers No Fear energy drinks under the same brand, in a joint venture with Pepsi.
DC: DC Shoes is an American company that specializes in footwear for action sports, including skateboarding and snowboarding. The company also manufactures apparel, bags, accessories, hats, shirts, and posters
Vans: Vans is an American manufacturer of skateboarding shoes and related apparel, based in Costa Mesa, California, owned by VF Corporation.

Now let's add in Nike and Adidas...
Does anyone remember the trend in the 90's when hip-hop culture was wearing the brightly colored NASCAR jackets? Action sports will always have ties with punk, rock, and yes, hip-hop culture. Motocross and Supercross are action sports like it or not. You want the sport to grow? Embrace this and keep moving more and more mainstream.
This is a huge slap in the face to those of us that work hard, follow the rules and pay our own way. It's hard not to be pissed at Fox for using these dirt bags as a marketing tool. This is NOT how you market a dirt bike product. It only adds to the already bad image we have. It does nothing to draw riders to legal riding tracks/trails.

48 hours community service...unbelievable
I also grew up skateboarding, and playing music, backpacking,white water canoeing, Moto was not my only love, far from it
That being said, I don't think anyone doesn't understand why Fox is trying expand, and I don't blame them, but let's not fool ourselves. They are 100% NOT trying to expand the sport, or grow exposure for the sport, this move has absolutely nothing to do with anything Moto related. So you guys saying that, just stop, it's not true. Not one of the people that see this 2 Chainz guy will give 2 cents, or a second thought about anything Moto. Not a chance. I know you WANT to believe it, but it's just simply not true. It's like a bad album by a favorite band, you want to like it, but in your heart you know it's bad, doesn't mean you quit supporting the band, just you can't get behind that album..because it's bad, real bad.
And rather it's bands or companies, at some point everyone is going to cash in givin the chance.
And we all make light of sidewalk commandos, or posers, or pick up kits. But for some reason you defend it now. And that's all this going to create.They are not trying to get exposure for Moto guys sorry it's not true. So you can stop that angle, you can't defend this.
And they are colaborting with what seems to be a wrong company, I don't know much about supreme, but honestly they seem like a joke, when I skated it was brands like Powell, Santa Cruz, Vision, Santa Monica Airlines, Alva, ect. And I skated long enough to see brands like Plan B, Element, and several others pop up, I do not remember supreme, it seemed there were so many skate brands poping up in those days it was hard to keep track of. Which brings me to my next point, any company that wants to charge 100$ for a t shirt can take a hike, at this point it's not devaluing your brand, it's devaluing your customer, and insulting them, catering to the one percent. We'll take Yeti for example, my girlfriend bought an Ozark Trail tumbler for around 5-6 bucks, she told me about it, and was saying it was just like the Yeti. And I was in disbelief, because Ozark Trail is known for making cheap camping gear, So my reaction was no, not those guys, Yeti has all the science behind it! I thought, and the Yeti tumbler cost 40+ dollars, no way you could buy a comparable product for 5-6 bucks. So I went straight to the internet, guess what, literally dozens of videos, write ups, and test, and the Ozark Trail ethier matched the preformance of Yeti or actually beat it! Guess who never will receive another dime of my money, and now Ozark Trail has a cooler, and guess which cooler I'm going to buy, we all work to hard to spend our money on stupidity, with all that extra cash I can actually fill my cooler to the brim! A fool and their money shall soon part, and I have to admit, I was blinded by the marketing. So instead of buying supreme gear, you can buy some others gear and spend the rest of your cash on parts or a better bike.
And they could have picked dozens of action sports or skating brands to collaborate with. I like the fact that they are trying to Branch out to other action sports and get that, but that was not what they were doing, the fact they picked Supreme proves that. this was wrong marking direction, and the wrong fan base. This was a very poor move, and in poor taste. this was a cash grab. I mean why not an icon like Toney Hawk, or Danny Way, or some other high profile person from the industry. And using the wheelie Boyz? Come on
And I'll lastly say this, the pics in the beginning of this post, I, in all totally honesty thought were a joke, I thought guys were posting that as a joke, I did not get that, THAT was for real, and 2 Chainz... Well, come on, with the goggles? You guys are going to defend that? That's a joke, he looks handicap. I have a close family member who is handicap, and this is literally how he would dress when we gave him gear, because he can't ride but wants to be involved, like his cousins, but 2 Chainz is not special needs, at least I don't think... Maybe he is, because he looks like a handicap, and I read some of his lyrics, he damn sure isn't a great writer ethier, and I know some of you might say he supposed to be funny....he's an idiot, I mean come on just look at the pic... He's an handicap, and he's a marketing billboard now...for Fox moto-x? Please the Roczen video should have been the only thing released, and sure you could say Supreme did all the other advertising, but Fox knew, they Knew that was the demographic, they are not stupid... Just their new spokes person...
In closing I'll say I may or may not buy another fox product, because they do make quality gear and products, but this will play factor, and be in the back of my mind when I make my next purchase.
WRONG! If that favorite band supported a group that stole YOUR ride would you continue supporting them? Didn't think so.
stfu noob ;-)
This fox thing was in poor taste, I hate it, but yeah, the wheelie Boyz are, well just a joke and if they are stealing bikes then they need to be drug out into street and beat,
And say what you want about Supreme doing the advertising, but Fox knew, they knew how it was going to be marketed, you can't defend them on this. And fox did release a video with Kenny, advertising this crap.
To me this is what killed No Fear, they crossed over and every dumb ass from hear to Kalamazoo was wearing it, watering down the brand, image, and integrity
Pit Row
I don't give a shit about "likes" and "followers"; I've said a million times that when "likes" and "followers" are the commodity; it's a race to the bottom for the lowest common denominator. Case in point.
I can't stand this "influencer" bullshit. You know who is an influencer in my book? Guys like Billy Bolt who threw away second place at Erzburg to help other riders. Or, of course, their own K Roc! Or Jeremy Seewel who took a rock to the face and still finished 12th. Fuck those idiots riding on the streets.
Kroc on pulpmx waffle waffle waffled on about this shit, which his ignorant upbringing with too much smoke up arse could not see the point. Ever bought your own bike Ken then to have it flogged. He thinks it's some racial issue.
Ken thinks he's an intellectual because pocket pissers hang off everything he says.
Supreme is valued in 1 Billion big shit now.
