On Sunday, September 25, 2005 in Ernee, France, Team USA won the
prestigious Motocross des Nations. That afternoon,
Kevin Windham wore
purpose-built "des Nations" gear. Designed and produced by No Fear,
Windham's red-white-and-blue gear was not only a hit with the 35,000
fans crowding the hillsides, but with motocross enthusiasts around the
world - it was featured on the December '05 cover of
Racer X Illustrated.
This weekend at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, Team SoBe/Samsung
Mobile Honda riders
Mike LaRocco (Supercross) and
Billy Laninovich and
Jake Weimer (Supercross Lites) will wear the same "des Nations" gear
Windham rode to victory in in France.
"After we made the gear for Kevin, we really liked it," says No Fear
Motocross team manager Craig Rood. "Then we started to get a lot of
positive feedback on it. At that point we decided to make a limited run
of the 'des Nations' gear. Since the gear is now beginning to arrive in
dealerships across the U.S., we decided to have Mike, Billy, and Jake
wear the gear this Saturday at Anaheim III to help promote it. It's
also something cool and different for the guys, and they're excited to
wear it."
A limited-edition run of 300 sets of the No Fear "des Nations" gear
have been produced and are available at selected motorcycle dealerships
nationwide.
