Good for Justin and O'Neal. My local Cycle Gear used to carry a bunch of O'Neal gear in the early 2000's. Dubach's been wearing that stuff for 30 plus years, but add me to the list of didn't know Deano wore it too. Blush Moto fan fail #238 for me!

I swear everyone I knew/know that was just getting into the sport, or was a casual bush-basher, bought the entry level, black, O'neal boots. That must be why they still sign the big names!Laughing

The gear LaRocco wore in his Jack In The Box days was pretty cool.

Haha guess what my first set of boots were!

Those things were great for the first few months, then flopped to the side sitting by themselves in the hall way one day.. Not to much confidence in the ankle protection after that.

I should have added "not that there's anything wrong with that".Laughing

My mate worked in the parts and accessories department and they stocked a lot of good stuff... Those boots and the combo/package they came with would move quicker than anything!

When I think O'neal I always see Gaerne boots (HRA), although MotoXXX ran AXO boots when Big Bird was riding for them.Dizzy

In the past it's seemed that O'Neal was keen to throw every colour and every design they had at each set of gear with ugly results, but some of stuff that Wilson wore this year wasn't too bad.. That said I bet he's stoked to be going to Shift (if the rumour is true)

Hill's scenario reminds me a lot of Brian Swink in 1992. Swink won East 125 SX on PC in 1991, then switched to Suzuki for 1992. Hill won on PC, then switched to Suzuki along with Bell and Gaerne...and both chose gear companies with questionable fashion sense, although Answer has greatly improved lately.

Most popular boot we sold when I worked for a shop a few years back. Sold probably 10-15 pairs of those per one gaerne or astars

The Justin Hill / Brian Swink comparisons need to end at both of them rode a Suzuki at one point of their careers. Swink could win indoors or out at any race, he raced hurt, and was just a flat out bad ass. Justin Hill won't line up if he's got a hang nail. I'm sure Swink's got hair on his ass tougher that Justin Hill.

Justin is a supercross champ, they don't just give them out these days..

You hit the nail on the head right there. I didnt like O'Neal gear at all. When Baggett ran it in 2015 and 2016 a lot of stuff he ran actually looked really good to me. Most the stuff Deano ran this year looked really really good too. I was joking with my buddy that Deano was looking like Doug Dubach when he was on the yamaha lol im sure Deanos probably stoked if he is going to Shift. When he was on KTM and Answer he always had everything matching.

Fasthouse should have picked him up. He fits their image pretty well and I'm sure they can afford it. Honestly like 9/10 guys at the track these days run it

Seems goofy now but I always liked the gauntlet style gloves with material over the wrist.

Oneal is looking good these days. I loved the Bullet gear from the mid 80's. I hope he has a great season and glad to see Oneal still making nice looking gear.
