what about SMP and LBZ
LBZ had a stand at A1 this year with a bunch of clothes and stickers available. I was surprised when I saw it. Same logo, same 90s bro garb.

what about Black Fly's?
My Girl runs Black Flys. Her older sister did some mdeling for them, long before they started using these low rent tattooed sleeved out skanks. The girls they use now must do it for a free pair of shades and a few lines of coke because they are straight ghetto tramps. Not the high class broads from yesteryear.
The shades are pretty stylish though.

Endura was made by a company named Metagenics located in San Diego. I did a day of endura testing with them and Jeff Spencer at Perris Raceway back around 1990. I used to sell some of their products. I believe Metagenics got gobbled up by a conglomerate, restructured and.....endura and a lot of their other products disappeared. Endura was good shit! I'm guessing it's sold under a different name maybe with a slightly different ingredient.

The Extreme owner was a close friend of one of my close friends. I spent a week with him in Mammoth many years back. Bill Luck or Bob Luck...can't quite remember his name, but a really nice guy. Some of his t-shirts were pretty funny. "My girlfriend told me if I go riding one more time, she's going to leave me......I'm going to miss her!" Or the chicken calling the cat a "pussy" and the cat calling the chicken a "cock."
That's awesome. Remember shirt with the kid that had a supercross starting line in his living room when his parents left, and it said BRAAAAAA haha

Skin Industries is still around but more of a lifestyle brand than anything. No longer do riding gear that I know of.

Alloy MX gear was only around for a year or two and I believe went bust.

661 are also still around. They've distanced themselves from moto but are still full on in the MTN bike scene.

One Industries, I'm not sure. I think they struggled to stay in business the last couple of years and decided to cease operations. Not a 100% on this but I think some of of the guys either started D'Cor Visuals or work for them.
How did Alloy go out of business? Their gear was top notch, up there with Thor, No Fear, Fox, and Shift. I loved their gear, especially the '06 stuff right before they went out of business mid season. There gear was super clean and a lot of guys ran it at the local level too here in So.Cal.

To be honest I don't know how they went out of business. The gear looked great but I think maybe the company wasn't managed properly or maybe debt played a part in it. Combination of both? I just know they weren't around a long time.

Alloy has been out of business for years. I think you meant to say Alias. No Fear was awesome. I had some of their gear growing up and it was practically indestructible.

I wonder if Alloy went all in on Mike Alessi and it didn't pay off? Sean Hamblin is the only other person who was wearing their gear that I remember. Always looked good but I was a No Fear guy.

I have a pair of pants from 2004 that I wore for 3/4 seasons, still have life left in them.

Had them on my 94 CR250. Lots of jokes made but I really liked the graphics, still do.
