Hanny twittered this after the race. @joshhansen100 Had a little complications on the 12 th lap. Super bummed !!! Thought I had it won.

I have no idea but if what you say is true his pants falling down could be what he was talking about. The pas was on lap 12 of I remember right.

Seems to be something with those Thor pants. Remember when Hill used to ride for them? That was bad..

He was definitely having an issue with the pants.

That's an expensive "malfunction" for Hanny and PC ! Did you hear that Victor Sheldon (Thor's rider rep} got fired a couple weeks ago? He's probably glad today...

I think the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team generally practices with Thor's Core gear, but races in the less expensive Phase gear.

EH!?!?!?!

What the hell sort of policy is that?!?! Monster can't kick in to get a few sets of core in the right colours?

FlaNard, I am afraid Victor is no longer with Thor/ Parts Unlimited, since earlier this summer.

Victor left the rider rep position with Thor at the end of last year and has been with Slippery- the PU wet suit co.

I thought that he was getting tired too, but then in the last couple of laps he turned it on again. Maybe it was the pants. Being a skinny no ass guy myself I have experienced the same thing on a number of occassions and it is quite annoying I must say.,

Yes but slippery is still owned by thor and he was layed off from that position. I just saw him about two weeks ago and he said he thought it was a joke when he got the call but he was really upbeat and just having fun riding.

Yes pro circuit riders usually practice in the core or flux high end gear, but race in the pro circuit phase replica gear.

Chad Reed

I've seen him duct tape his pants on so that they wouldn't fall off.

Isn't that unacceptable for a company like Thor to make pants that fall off and show the riders' asses when they're out on the track!

Many riders show their asses anyway!

That was one hell of a expensive loss for that wardrobe malfunction. Sucks too because Hansen had Grant covered. I really wish this kid would run on a competitive 450 for SX season. Also, I wonder how chilly the podium was with him and Grant. There's obviously no love lost between them and the bullshit with the Metal Mulisha too.

I don't think this problem is exclusive to Thor. Millsaps pants fell off at Vegas, and he wears Scott.

I am a quad rider so I am not very sane or intelligent to begin with, BUT, I drill a hole though my buckle, latch and Zipper and hook my tether cord to it. Pretty simple not really sure why more companies don't do something similar. ........DC NEEDS TO START MAKING GEAR !!! their shoes cant be destroyed !!

My thor pants always fall down too. Their little belt/adjuster doesnt stay adjusted. I still really like their gear so I just keep buying it.

Milsaps was running up front in Vegas with four to go, flashing his ass everywhere, and it didn't stop him! I guess Hanson was extremely self-conscious, being that this is a live event on ESPN2.

If Ricky Carmichael can shit himself during a race and still win, a rider should be able to keep the pace up with a little pant sag.
