MartyC:
Does anyone know what happened to JT Racing, the clothing company?  BITD I had a great set of JT Race pants, jersey, gloves, still got my JT mouth guard etc but have not seen them at all and a google search brings back sweet fanny adams on them  :-\.

Happy me.:
This is one of those sad but true deals,from iconic ststus to this!http://wwwjtusa.com/gate.asp, :wtf: 








Not sure how to get the link to work,heyho!.

MartyC:
Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear, flushed down the pan then.  Like the "About Us" page which somehow manages to skip 20 odd years of motocross and bmx product into just two sentences   :shocked: but somehow not surprising  ::).

WizardWeb:
It probably hit them hard when Axo and other newer companies got into MX and to a lesser extent BMX. Add to that freestyle going non-uniform and it all went wrong.

I guess the newer companies were seen as more trendy. Probably the same reason Haro stopped making Mode 3 pants (which IMO weren't as good as he original ones anyway), mouth traps and peaks.

Sad as both JT and Haro did some really good stuff  :'(

they were big in the 80's big mx stars like David Bailey, Rick Johnson, Jonny O'Mara, Bob 'Hurricane' Hannah And Roger DeCoster all wore it and bmx, well every os bmx mag i read theres jt init... they stop doing mx/bmx stuff in the early 90's i think like 93/94 and now they just do paintball stuff...
