I read about it somewhere awhile back, but their site went live on New Years Eve, it says its only a sample of what’s to come, hopefully they bring back some of the old school look of the 80's gear...

I was just thinking about this (JT selling gear again) a couple of days ago, while looking up JT Racing on Ebay as I do several times a week.. This is nothing short of amazing.. and I can't wait.

Best news I have heard all day, I hope the gear isn't ridiculously priced. I will at least get that open face helmet finally, maybe the whole gear package.

I'm not sure they are bringing back an open face helmet. I thought so too when I seen the site. They are comparing the new to the old. I've never been a fan of open face helmets. But the JT open face helmet is a work of art in my opinion. Which is why I'm always searching Ebay for one.

Oh, too cool! Doggonit, I just got a new helmet and the funny thing was I searched for a year for a helmet that resembled and older school JT one, now JT goes and does this? Lol! Heck, a JT shirt was like all the kids wearing FOX now. We wore a JT shirt with OceanPacific pants and Vann's shoes. I even remember BMX, EVERYTHING was JT, was there even another brand for BMX? I, too, hope for an open face. Easier to throw on to run & get the mail or jet to the next camp site. I just want it for a novelty type of deal, but I still want. Huff you always come up with good stuff, I don't think I like you very much, lol, kiddin' partner.

Thats awesome!!, I'd be happy with a jersey and some stickers :D

8 out of 10 people wearing "FOX" don't ride anything, skateboard or BMX, those people piss me off, I know, whats the big deal but I get excited to see them wearing and and hope to share stories but the say "Nope, I just like the clothes....."

I sent them an e-mail asking them about the ALS-1 open face helmet, and if they had any plans to sell an open face helmet. I'm waiting for an answer. I wonder if they are hiring? :D

I will be pissed if they don't make it. I constantly search ebay for the open face jt lids as well.:shiftyeyes:

Last one I saw went for big money though. I hope the new ones aren't insanely priced.

You guys are talking about the helmet that Jimmy White is wearing on the cover of the Jimmy White Replica Tecate manual right? It's crazy to see how much has changed in the past few years regarding all the more parts that are available to us.

2 of the nicest looking helmets ever made. The ALS-1 open face is still my favorite helmet.
Here is the ALS-1 and ALS-2 together

Here is another pic of the new helmet next to an old ALS-1 helmet.

I will say the old helmet looked a lot more like the visor was part of the helmet than the new model. I like the old one better.

That wont stop me from buying the new open face though.

edit: this is probably because the visor on the current day helmets needs to be able to break off really easily to reduce neck injury, or so I have been told in the past.

The Als 1 helmet is one of the best helmets that I have ever seen. I've always wanted one just like the JWR blue green and white looking one. I hope they offer those helmets soon.

That is awesome news about the JT gear! Finally, we will be able to buy brand new riding gear that matches our trikes.

Absolutely terrible isnt it? I cant stand that. I see it all the time, Alpinestars, Thor, FOX, Answer, FMF....etc all a bunch of big fat phonys!

JT is coming back, that is freakin sweet! Cant wait!

^^Ya, and what's frustrating, ya meet a hot country girl in Big R wearin' a cute little tight Fox shirt and in hopes of finding a hottie riding partner ask: 'do you ride', and find out she's a city girl who can't even saddle a horse, let alone rip on a cycle. Good promotion of off road sports, but I really hate 'trendy'. (I like 3-wheeler, duh, so naturally I'm gonna go against the grain.) But some of these tight chested Fox (etc.) shirts sure look good on these honey's, ya baby!
