I'd wear it proudly There was an old guy that would sometimes show up for D36 enduros and he'd wear jeans, linemens boots and a flannel shirt. He was always around at the end, too. I once drove all the way to Utah to ride with this guy (first person I ever met through the internet) that was touted as the Guru of Utah trails. I get there and he's barely taller than me, long hair, riding a brand new XR400 that's way too tall for him. Turns out it was his dad's but he had one just like it. He's wearing jeans, hiking boots, a sweatshirt, backpack and a BMX helmet with sunglasses. I though, "Oh, great...who is this clown?" Well, he turned out to be one of the most naturally talented riders I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Excellent skills, great trail knowledge, a zen-like quality to his riding that was almost mesmerizing to watch, he rode that XR400 through Five Miles Of Hell as if he was on a trials bike, barely dabbing where the rest of us were flailing wildly and wondering if we were going to make it out before dark. I never laughed at his gear after that A few years later he put out a DVD called Access Addiction and he got some help to do it from MSR. He now wears full MSR gear. WoodsChick
I'd rock some husky flannel! I don't care what I look like, I've got the fashion sense of a bum. Mike, PM sent.
I think I have to jump in on that one as well. Takes me back to my roots. I used to race MX on my KDX200 with bib carharts, flannel shirt, boots, gloves and a helmet. I didn't need goggles because my huge glasses were just fine. I think I have more money invested in riding gear now than that bike cost. This was my practice attire. Later,
Wow Jake...I'm speechless! You actually are getting better looking as you get older while I'm going the opposite direction. Classic priceless pictures...thanks for sharing some giggles.
Jake, if the northwest had a super hero you would be it. Flying through the air with your flannel cape. Great pic.
Maybe we should all just get our own red/white/black flannel and then post pics? Make it a sticky? I'm still gonna look into making actual race jerseys with a flannel theme, dont worry.
http://www.woolrich.com/CGI-BIN/LAN...4619-DE11-B0EA-001422107090&mr:referralID=NA# Click on the red/white/black shirt at the bottom. I just ordered one! ---------- Great find on the Thor/Travis pic. ----------- These guys will make custom flannel red/white/black full on race jerseys (they make Bubbas and Windhams custom jerseys) with any icons or logos ya want and your name and or number on the back, dyed (not heat treated) in -- plus they have 3 types of fabric. Any type of collar and wrist. Longer rears if wanted to tuck in--basically state of the art full on race jeseys fully customized. (3 hours artwork-and they can be flexible with individual sponsors' logo's etc. included) http://www.hotshoppedesigns.com/ Cost is $58.50 + $10 for custom name/number (any color or font, and it can be different font/color for each guy/gal) if wanted. THATS A SMOKIN DEAL !! BUT---the order must be 25 or more. IF the order is 12 or more, its $78 + $10. ------------- If there is enough interest, i will take on the project. Its 50% deposit to start. Takes 6 weeks. Wooo. Hoooo. I'm thinking of useing the Woolridge Flannel Red/white/black in the above link as the basic design, then customize with my name, and some sponsors, and maybe Cafe Husky. Just to give ya an idea what they would look like, of course open to other ideas as well.
