ya except a few key differences... Rob Zombie's drawing style comes directly from Ed "Big Daddy Roth"... and last I checked... Roth with his style and his hot rods absolutely kill Troy Lee. Whether or not TLD is trying to pay homage to him or not, I dunno... but he failed miserably.Reminds me of white zombie.

If I wear it will I be faster?...unless you are fricking fast!
Southern Oregon is sooooo conservative!
For sure! You have to get away from the guys who want to beat your a$$, so riding slow is not an option!If I wear it will I be faster?
Ywt then we are bagged for not having our own image?Bunch of haters.
I've long thought that we should be following ski/snowboarding footsteps and go bright/loud.
Photographers will love it. Nothing worse than someone turning up in black or brown.
I'm liking this.
Pardon me for asking, but who are you to decide our image?Ywt then we are bagged for not having our own image?
I am all for brown and black and subtle, that is our image.
I think it looks awesome in MX.Yeah, it's huge right now but I think people see how foolish it looks in MX or the snow and don't want it happening to our sport.
Maybe I'm just old and scarred from wearing this crap in the '80s. I still cringe when I see some old pics from that era.
I think it's taken the Bike/Moto industry a few seasons...but judging by these outfits, they are following in the step of Burton and the snowboard scene of crazy color schemes. I'd wear 1 or 2 of these new kits, but that's about it.Not on troys website yet
but....

I agree. As Craig Finn from the hold Steady sings, "I survived the 80's one time already, and I don't recall it all so fondly"Yeah, it's huge right now but I think people see how foolish it looks in MX or the snow and don't want it happening to our sport.

Word is, the man himself touches each and every one that leaves the factory.Troy Lee Designs D2 Carbon Palmer worth the $375 ??

Jerk.just read the new Mountain Bike and saw a funny comment from SkaTodd about Sam Hill's pink TLD gettup at Ft William:
"all the internet dorks who complained and whined about Sam Hill wearing an 'ugly' kit at Fort William need to be cock punched for not each individually apologizing when Sam announced after the race that the pink was done to raise money for breast cancer research after two of his friends recently were diagnosed."
Mr Hill can now cock-punch me.
They are just releasing more details about it at crankworks.Whats the news on the D3? Is it really be released on friday? How does it work with a Leatt? I cracked my helmet this weekend and need a replacement.
i just called Beyond Bikes about their 25% off their D2's and they said they expect to have the new 2010 products mid next monthThey are just releasing more details about it at crankworks.
Hopefully see them for sale soon. =]
The back is higher up to accommodate more clearance for as leatt.
I will see if I can get some more details right now...

Just because it was for charity and a great cause (great job sam) doesn't mean it wasn't ugly. It'd be cool to see more guys sell off thier kits for charity stuff like that, ugly or notjust read the new Mountain Bike and saw a funny comment from SkaTodd about Sam Hill's pink TLD gettup at Ft William:

i was really hoping Sam was trying to make another statement....and not about Breast cancer awareness.Just because it was for charity and a great cause (great job sam) doesn't mean it wasn't ugly. It'd be cool to see more guys sell off thier kits for charity stuff like that, ugly or not
What happened? Were you running a Leatt? I highly suggest riding with one if you aren't already. Saved my neck a few times already. With what were doing, its such a good idea to invest in good safety equipment. I mean, Philip Polc going down at crankworx is a perfect example of how bad things can be in this sport.Maybe I did more then just crack my helmet...
Total Heckler, thanks for the info. Hopefully there's something that doesn't look like pj's for your head.
two Evil riders down? what happened to him?I mean, Philip Polc going down at crankworx is a perfect example of how bad things can be in this sport.
I will post up anything I find out...
Apparently he went down off of one of the wooden bridges on the Garbonzo race (I think?) and his head went straight into a log. Apparently air lifter out with a suspected broken neck. Horrible news. =\two Evil riders down? what happened to him?
Not sure how it happened but I ended up going headfirst into a waterbar filled with mud and fun stuff. I've been wearing a Leatt for over a year now, it saved mine last year.What happened?
