Are You 'Factory Pilot' Worthy?

  • Are You 'Factory Pilot' Worthy?

The new, game-changing Airbrake MX goggle, releasing to the public this week, reflects Oakley’s 35 years of design evolution since its founding as a pioneer in grip and eyewear technology in the sport – with the Oakley MX Grip coming out as the brand’s first-ever product in 1975.

Fast forward to today and Oakley’s rich history and generations of MX Stars – from Mike Bell, Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto, Ryan Dungey, James “Bubba” Stewart, Eli Tomac and more – are celebrating a new era in Motocross goggle design. And they want to know one thing…DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN OAKLEY FACTORY PILOT?

You have a chance to win your own revolutionary Oakley Airbrake MX Goggle, Oakley Sunglasses, an Oakley T-Shirt and Racer X Gear…if you can prove your worth as a Factory Pilot. Answer the following question below in the comment section with a valid email address, or send responses to contests@racerxonline.com between March 12 and March 19.

QUESTION: Name your favorite Oakley gear that you’ve used in the past (or present) – and tell us why it means the most to you. Share your most badass story, best memory or most intense moments using Oakley gear/eyewear with us.

Oakley’s Motocross Team and Racer X will choose two winners from the submissions after March 19 and announce them right here.
