yea there are soooo many posers at my school with both Mx and skating. They get like a klx110 or something and think that they are all good and all that. My friend and i are the only people at my school that ride and arnt "posers". Because we dont try to tell the world about how "good we are". JMO

Man.. Kids walk around my school not only wearing Fox clothes, but actual jerseys and such :ermm:

Whenever I see a kid in a moto-x jersey walking around the school, I ask them what they ride and I usually get "nothing right now, but next summer my parents said they'd get me a dirtbike.." and stuff like that.

I only wear fox clothes because I like the look of them ahah, but I wear quite a bit of D4, Thor, H-Bomb Films, ect.

haha when you guys get older hopefully youll see that all this style and image stuff is meaningless all this being cool and stuff just plays off peoples insecurities, but clothing companies and stuff like it, they create the newest fads and people come running with there money, then when they milk as much cash out of you as they can with that one they come up with a new one

i cant believe how many people wear fox and dont know anything about the industry...fox and alpine have gone over the dark side, all you see now is those two logos on everyone, goths, preps, skaters, punks, them all, but i know who rides in my town and they dont....it makes me mad, i just bought a new ONE industries hat and was walking around shcool with it, and like 10 kids, some even wearing riding appearal asked what i was....im like what, theyre like, that thing on your hat, im like wow...:ermm:

I agree with everythingmentioned on here......SUP BROS

Alright kiddies sit around for story time...haha. Ok so my first day at the vo-tech I wore a fox shirt...I have been riding quads since I was 8 and had fox gear. So when I went school shopping and seen fox clothes I was like cool. Well that year I wore alot of fox shirts and hoodies. The next year I was kind of over the Fox fad, but low and behold everyone and their brother started wearing fox. Well kinda urked me but I continued to wear fox casual clothes even though I wasnt much of a fan of their riding gear. My senior year I started fading out the fox and now I truly despise it, even though my aunt always bought me fox clothes because she thought I was so into it. I finally told her I wasnt into it anymore because of how popular it got. I still rock my fox hoodies, hats, and shirts. Basically now I just wear what I want. Im out of high school and havent really gone clothes shopping in the longest. I just buy **** every once in awhile when its on clearence (motosport!!) but I no longer wear clothes trying to impress anyone, its so retarded. Now I have D4 clothes some Alloy MX stuff, and just old clothes Ive had for awhile. I spend most of my time at work or at home so I dont have much as far as "nice" clothes go.
On this flat biller stuff, seen it but never was into it, I could never wear a hat without a curved bill, it doesnt look right or fit right, but I guess some people chose form over function.
Ok /endrant>

haha yes, Ive noticed a few giant sized fox head emblems on a few vehicles around here. A couple I know of are some girls that just "dig" the dirt bike riders and crotch rocket dudes, the others are mostly on s-10s and blazers. I have fox stickers on the mirrors of my cavalier (damn hunk....anyone looking to buy a car???seriously!)

I know that lol, but when it says "Thor Racing" and has a quad kicking it sideways on my shirt, I don't think that is a god of the legends

11-14-2007, 01:37 PM

i can't stand posers. we have kids that where these cheap walmart dirtbike jerseys and think they are the sh*%. I just laugh.

416exfreak

11-14-2007, 02:12 PM

My walmart must be ghetto...

It doesnt sell jerseys. :confused:

Anyways...it seems like everyone feels the need to wear clother so they can call thierself something.

As for me, i'll keep rocking the Zeppelin shirts and blue jeans;)

I think i'll stick with my AE, Aeropostale, and hollister, cause their clothes are WAY more comfortable than Fox, IMO better looking, and more to choose from

I don't understand how someone could be legitimately *pissed off that someone is wearing clothes that represent something they know nothing about. I mean seriously, why would that bother you? Really, take a few seconds and think about it. Why does this make me angry? Do you feel like they're cheapening what you actually do? It's just clothes! That's it! With all the problems going on in this world, this seems like a rather silly one. If I let something as dumb as this make me actually ANGRY, I would be totally embarassed with myself.

I hate it when people wear Fox clothing, and they dont even know how to ride. It just makes my blood boil. I refuse to wear Fox, mostly because thier gear is so junky, but alos because they sold out.:o

X2 I wont wear fox stuff mainly for that reason.

ill stick with a nice pair of levis. plain white tee shirt. and occasionally fox shirt or polo. theres liek 3 kids in my whole shcool who actually ride and im one of them. i dont care who knows i ride. its whatever to me. you dress how you want. i dress how i want. doesnt really bother me. just dont bother me about my style and ill keep all my comments to myself too.

Creech52

11-16-2007, 07:48 AM

It doesnt really make me angry that people that dont ride wear fox, its just the simple point that back when I wore fox it was because they wear a gear company that had clothes I could wear when Im not riding, and then everyone started wearing it and it became a clothing company that had some gear for riding. Kind of like if AE made riding pants and jerseys now....they would still be known for their clothing more then their gear, its kind of like Fox sold out. I remember their T shirt selection was like 3 different styles of fox heads and you could get like 4 basic colors. Now theres a whole catalog devoted to just casual clothes. Ohwell Im over the whole fox gear thing so I dont need to support them by wearing their casual clothes too. I didnt like the fact my dirtpaw gloves fell apart after like 3 months.

hungus07trx400

11-16-2007, 10:01 AM

I would "sell out" too, it's a company trying to make money, not some seattle based coffee house band trying to avoid overexposure to stay true to their roots. I own a garbage company, and I try to get as many customers as possible, print out t-shirts, have keychains, do touch-a-trucks for the kids, and so on and so forth. Most companies don't go into business to make a statement, they do it to make money any way that they can, vast exposure being high on the list.

haha that drives me freaking insane! haha On my window, I have the ernesto fonseca mini plate and my old mini plate and a few misc stickers.

Yah I don't wear fox at all anymore. I remember the same thing happening with West coast choppers. Hell I ordered two shirts from them from their shop and no one knew who the hell they were. Low and behold, they got on tv and the next school year there were 50 WCC shirts floating around. I've been wearing a lot of no fear stuff mostly but I wear thor, some suzuki stuff, lots of alpinestars and pretty much anything bike related. I love it when people wear and alpinestars shirt and don't even have riding boots. What's nice is the place that used to sell mx type shirts at the mall closed, so no one knows where to get that stuff haha. I always ordered my stuff online anyway. As for the lifted trucks and all, that makes my skin crawl too. I do have a lifted ranger, but I hate the kids that go throw lifts on them and pavement pound the hell out of them.

FYI, if someone confronts you about being a poser in school for wearing mx stuff, offer to take them riding (if they have a quad/bike) and roost the hell out of them. 95% of the time the people that confront you suck at riding. There always is that one excpetion though haha. My buddy (well he's now my buddy) was saying **** about me so I was like, lets go ride. Well he ended up being a 250A rider haha. I got my *** handed to me.
