Sieg, what i dont understand about fox is why do they sell more swag in the dirt bike community but not shocks? you would think...

That was an awesome video, I wish I had the skills to drive that machine so fast sideways over the bumps.

Remember when they got their start?

I'd wager that the competition from White Power (WPS) and Olins was strong enough that they realized they could make a LOT more profit selling t-shirts..........and the average dirt-bikers are cheap cheap cheapest of the bunch.

They really seem to be back in a big way now. Polaris OEM, RideTech, Hotchkis, and more.

Josh, not taking anything away from the drivers - you'd have to drive something with that level of suspension to understand when it's set up right how magical it can be. :thumbsup:

Heard it was two brothers. One wanted to make shocks the other went on to make T-shirts.

It's the AMA Museum in Ohio. KTM had a private event during their annual dealer show it coordinated with the new motocross display. All the bikes on display were exceptional examples.
