American Motocross is celebrating 50 years this summer, and the High Point National turns 40 in a couple of weeks, but there is one other milestone being reached in 2016 that we wanted to share with this week's List: Robert and Matt Davis are moto-loving, sticker-making brothers who grew up on the mean street (yes, singular) of Kokomo, Indiana. They combined their passions for MX, skateboarding, alternative music and ultimately decals to start a company called Graphics Lab, and of course the Throttle Jockey brand. This year the brand celebrates 30 years.
We at Racer X have been working with Throttle Jockey for a long, long time, and if you've collected any of the thousands of stickers we've handed out at the races (stickers are always free!) then you've seen their work. They have been making excellent adhesives for everyone from Team Honda to Alien Workshop to Racer X Illustrated and Pro Motocross for many years. They have built a fine family business that continues to produce quality designs and products for their brother-in-arms (and action sports in general) for three decades now.
Recently, the boys sent us a cool care package with a variety of stickers from our decades of work with them. With that in mind, here's a salute to the Brothers Davis, their Graphics Lab and Throttle Jockey. Thanks for the great work over the years, boys, see you at Red Buuuuuud!
