They should bring back their 80's and 90's gear and make it exactly as sold back then...would be a huge hit in the VMX world.

About the only way they can compete in today's gear market. When you can get gear sets for under $ 150.00 its tough to sell gear sets.

I've been wearing their stuff since 2013. Great quality and looks! But the last few times I've called them nothing there and their site only showed casual wear. Bummer!

In January I visited my parents, and while looking for something my brother wanted me to find in their storage unit, I came across this stuff from freshman year in high school:



I wanted to be JMB so bad I grew a mullet, and it was glorious.

I've got a JT chest/back protector in the garage.

VMX score!

Think I'll have a set of my TLD gear prepped to match!

I opened this thread and expected to see $$$$$$$$$$. Alas, JT gear is cool and some throwback shit is even cooler n that.

JT BMX gear in the 80s was awesome. I don't even recall any competition.

Out of curiosity I went to their website, and also the link above. I would hate to be the guy paying full price for their stuff Blink

There is something about those chest protectors that makes me want to ride again.

I remember back in the day my oldman came home with some Ramirez chest protectors....and the only thing I could do was pull the brat move....i refused to wear them. He eventually got rid of them to a mates dad and I got my JT's.

It took a while for my dad to realise it was not cool for me to ride with Oneal pants, Sinisalo jersey etc...we eventually got it right.

With that said, im extremely grateful to my oldman for everything he gave me.

I can appreciate that. I had to deal with a lot of mixed gear as a kid too, but as a parent now I can definitely see why they pushed back.

But with guys like Bailey and Lechien, the most naturally talented guys making the gear look good, and then RJ wore it for a stretch after his injury (minus the helmet), and then JMB, for me it was irresistible. Had to have it. Good memories.

State of the art in the 80’s!
Loved my JT ALS helmet, but I destroyed it in the desert. I don’t remember the hit, but it did it’s job.

Oh yeah the blue ALS-2. Here's my older brother sporting that one.



He's on an 88 CR250 there, first bike with the "low-boy" pipe to try to move the center of gravity (mostly the gas tank back then) down. Man o man, love those years in life.
