I'm sure it's been said already, but the Bradshaw/AXO/'90s-inspired Fox gear for Roczen was something special. Brought me back. MX nostalgia...what's not to like?
Has fox stated it was AXO throwback? Can't deny the resemblance, but it's only the colors that are the same. Companies copy color combos and design influences from the others all the time.
Maybe with AXO going by the wayside they were able to do it with no issues?
I can't imagine that AXO holds a copyright over a look or color combo, but I thought it was interesting too. A cool shoutout if anything, even if they didn't specifically say it. But I thought it was funny that Fox drew upon another company's '90s design rather than their own from the same era.
I was never really a big fan of the Fox stuff from that time (which was more grunge-inspired with a lot of earth tones and ragged lines) save for the Team Honda/1-800-COLLECT stuff from 1995. 1996 was good too, much cleaner lines but the original '95 gear was BA Baracus.
Like the gear but the price is absolutely ridiculous. $230 for pants and a $90 Jersey. Over 3 bills and that's not including gloves or boots. Same for the TLD Adidas gear, I'm sure both companies will sell out but not to me. Don't get me started on $100+ goggles.... Yikes.

Roczen actually said it was an AXO throwback in an IG post.. I was surprised he actually used the "A" word, being a Fox rider.. but the explanation above about Jim Hale makes sense...

I'll stick with the gear that I can get for $110 with gloves.
De Anza Yamaha SX testing track ? I shot that photo and interviewed him there, I think (but my memory's kind of fuzzy)
Yes is Anza, the old Yamaha SX testing track, One of the best pic for me, I remenber see this in the magacine Motocross Action or Dirt Rider at his time, years later I found in internet and now know is from you, that great.
