ya, i was lucky enough to get a pair of the black/yellow beaumont pants before they sold out (by like a week!!) but they are makin new gear...
they're makin a new zip off which is what Homan has been wearing since the x-games, and they're making an 'in the boot' pant...i'm guessing they're doin that because they are thinking about making a supercross team....and then there's new jerseys and gloves too...the gloves look bad a$$...if you look at the new RacerX (not the one w/ pastrana on the front, the one before that) the SMP ad in it has a guy wearing the glove and flippin the camera off...says DESTROY on the middle finger of the glove :)...I talked to SMP a few weeks ago and said their new gear will be out sometime in January...it looks sick from what I've seen, can't wait!

No Fear. I really like the new tank gear, jersey is high quality, and well ventilated too

hey crusty, does the jersey come over your hands at all, cause i noticed it has no elastic or wristband or whatever cause im small it would prolly come over my hands which would get annoying

I really like the shift stuff. I also really like the tank gear from no fear. You know what is funny though, some riders really suit the gear they wear, like Faisst. He just really seems to look great in the flesh gear stuff, and i can't imagine him wearing anything else. I get so used to guys wearing certain stuff, it messes me up when they switch. Like when Nate went from Fox to Thor (even though that gear looks EXACTLY the same as the fox stuff), took me a while to get used to it. Like I look at Drake McElroy in No Fear, and for some reason it doesn't fit. I picture him in like Shift or SMP or Shift just cause of his style. (sorry drake) Seems to be enough cool gear though to fit everyone.

I would have to say LBZ and shift are oy favorite, i love those lbz baggies that are white, gold and black and they look real silky, i saw rob distler wearin em on tv and they looked sick.. But were all going to shorts now and shift defenatly have the best gear for that. I would also like to know what gear colin morrison wears now, they only showed him do one jump at x in the step up and i think it had him in shift but i dont know.?

Fleshies and SMP... depending on my mood :) heh, i like the look and style of both... overall, id say i like the smp shirts, just cuz they are so light, and comfortable, and the fleshgear crusty pants, for the same reason, very light...
