“THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME.
THIS IS PERSONAL.”
“SOMETIMES YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU...
Reuniting with JT is like that for me. I feel I should be here, that this is what I was meant to do at this
stage of my life.
I became part of the JT Racing family in the fall of 1982 after helping Team USA win its second-straight
MX des Nations title in Wohlen, Switzerland. That day, the Gregorys offered to let me wear a prototype of
their V2000 chest protector for the race, and with baseball-sized rocks strewn along the circuit, it was a
blessing. I felt confident in it, felt I could ride faster. And I did.
My connection to JT actually happened years earlier, when I was racing a self-sponsored Bultaco in the
late 1970s. As a young racer, I wanted everything JT made, and ended up wearing blue and white JT
gear the day I won the Amateur National Championship in ’78. JT stuff was so much better than everything else and looked so good I couldn’t wait to get dressed.
With Johnny O in our last race on Hondas as teammates
I imagine the JT brand goes deep with many of you. Most of us have a JT story whether we
wore their gear or not, and to this day I still sign V-2000s, ALS helmets, jerseys and pants.
People don’t save stuff like that unless it has serious personal value, and it’s obvious that
JT had a huge impact on the era’s riders and fans.
Dramatic Anaheim win in 1986
When my racing career ended in 1987, I went to work for JT Racing as a designer. I loved being a part of a company I had respected
and represented for so many years. And that’s why I’m so enthused now. Once I met the new owners, listened to their vision and
learned of all the other JT champions already on board, I couldn’t resist. JT Racing is in my blood, has been for decades, and I feel
as lucky now as when I was living the motocross dream. Hey, I love comebacks. And with JT, I’m all in.

HISTORY
Amazingly, it all started with socks. Colorful, stretchy motocross socks that
John and Rita Gregory – a pharmacist couple living in San Diego – figured
might sell well enough to offset John’s growing racing expenses during the late
1960s. The couple sold socks out in the desert and at the track from the trunk
of their car, as well as from a glass case in their pharmacy lobby.
The socks sold quite a bit better than expected, and by 1970 the Gregorys had
shuttered the pharmacy and were pursuing their fledgling motocross business
full-time. The new company needed a name when a business license became
necessary, and one was conjured hastily while in line at the county office. John
offered ‘TJ’, or Tijuana, where the socks originated. But Rita swapped the letters due to TJ’s seedy reputation. At that moment, JT Racing Imports was born.
The couple hired Joel Robert to wear and promote JT socks for the princely
sum of $100 and all the socks he could use. The exposure helped. They soon
added matching jerseys to the line, and signed Hallman Racing – their first
distributor – to sell them. They then added a product that would soon revolutionize the entire industry – nylon motocross pants.
filters, gear bags, chest protectors, shoulder pads, casual wear and posters.
It’d also signed some of the world’s fastest racers to wear its gear, including
500cc World Champion Heikki Mikkola, USGP winner Gerrit Wolsink and
125cc National Champion Marty Smith. Now, race fans and enthusiasts
could not only cheer on their favorite riders, but wear the same gear their
heroes wore.
John Gregory said the company’s crazy growth was like “Surviving a
crash!” JT Racing soon added Bob ‘Hurricane’ Hannah to its roster, and
in the coming years signed such notable champions as Danny LaPorte,
Broc Glover, Chuck Sun, Marty Tripes, Rick Burgett, Tommy Croft and Kent
Howerton. In later years they’d sign Jeff Ward, David Bailey, Ricky Johnson,
By the mid 1970s, JT Racing’s growth mirrored that of the sport of motocross Johnny O’Mara, Ron Lechien and others. These champions helped with R&D
itself – meteoric. JT now offered all manner of innovative and increasingly

attractions in JT’s unique promotional campaigns. There was a personal
element to the JT team as well. “Being with JT,” remembers longtime
JT rider Broc Glover, “was like having a second set of parents – a real
family thing.”
Armed with the sport’s best riders, all wearing the most stylish and
technically advanced gear available, JT Racing led the way, continually
resetting the bar during the late ’70s and following a technological and
design trajectory that would ensure its place at the front of the pack
for years to come. JT, for instance, launched its own leather motocross
boot. It introduced fully personalized head-to-toe outfits for Hannah and
Mikkola, the world’s top riders at the time. It debuted new materials
and color schemes seemingly every few months. It offered several
different glove designs as well as custom lettering. It also led the way
on upper-body protection, introducing the Ventilator and Team Screen
chest protection systems. Meanwhile, JT riders seemed to win everything
in sight, with Hannah, Burgett, Glover, Laporte and Howerton all scoring
national championships during this era.
Sun, Hansen and O’Mara – outfitted in JT gear. In ’82, LaPorte won the
250cc world championship, with Hansen taking the 250cc outdoor and
Supercross titles. In ’83, JT introduced the revolutionary V2000 and
V500 chest protectors, which Bailey wore en-route to the 1983
Supercross and 250cc outdoor title. Bailey continued his assault on the
500cc national championship in ’84, winning it outright while wearing
JT’s radical new ALS-1 helmet. He repeated the 500cc feat in ’86 while
wearing one of JT Racing’s most memorable products – the revolutionary full-face ALS-2 helmet. With its trick venting system and integrated
visor assembly, the ALS-2 broke new ground both
technically and stylistically.
The trend continued well into the ’80s – true glory years for JT Racing.
In 1980, Chuck Sun won the 500cc national title. In ’81, Team USA won
its first of 13 successive MX des Nations titles, the entire team – Laporte,

HISTORY
Other innovative JT products from the ’80s include the Flexon glove, ProTour jersey, Life-Line gloves, Mouthtrap mouth guard, fully vented gear – a
first – and a range of wild colors and prints, including Glover’s pink gear,
Lechien’s Dalmation and Dem Bones prints, Bailey’s fluorescent orange
gear and much more.
Jean-Michel Bayle, the 1988 125cc and 1989 250cc world champion,
continued JT’s championship tradition into the 1990s by winning the ’91
Supercross, 250cc outdoor and 500cc outdoor titles – a truly stunning
achievement.
Innovation. Style. Champions. The combination had worked flawlessly
for nearly three decades, and had transformed JT Racing into the world’s
dominant motocross gear company. But things change, and in 2001, John
and Rita Gregory sold their esteemed company and retired, sending the JT
Racing motocross brand into hibernation for a decade. “When I left JT Racing to work for ESPN in the mid 1990s,” remembers David Bailey, who’d
been a designer there after his career-ending crash in ’87, “I sorta thought
the brand would soon be dead and buried. Which it was, and for a long
time. The latter 1990s weren’t kind to JT’s motocross efforts. But it seems
you can’t keep a good company down. This brand is strong, and
it still resonates.” Time for the next chapter in the
JT Racing legacy.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. That’s world and national champion Jean-Michel Bayle wearing all-new JT Racing gear as he
rips off an 80-footer for our camera. Call it a melding of champions– a champion rider, and thoroughly championship gear.
JT Racing. It’s a look and a logo you simply can’t forget. And after a decade of hibernation, the glorious JT logo is back. Best
of all, it’s attached to the most innovative and intelligent gear on the planet. Our Pro-Tour jersey and Classick pant are perfect
examples of this savvy design, and as you’ll see on the following pages, all of which feature loads of JT Racing champions,
there’s plenty to back up the statement: the latest technology, loads of innovation, huge levels of protection, superb build
quality and, best of all, that logo.

THE MOST ADVANCED MX PANT EVER OFFERED
Breathable, comfortable, durable & technological
Motocross pants lead hellish lives. They’ve gotta do it all: Protect against engine
heat and abrasion. Cushion crashes. Fit well and be comfortable. Flow enough air
to keep riders cool. Be durable enough to hold up moto after moto, wash after
wash. And most of all, look great doing it. Our new Classick pant – named thusly
because test riders kept coming back to the pits saying “Hey, this pant is sick!” –
does all this and more, reflecting the year’s worth of intense R&D that went into its
design. Our Classick is arguably the most advanced motocross pant ever designed,
and we’re not shy about the claim. Once you realize the insane level of technology
and savvy design that’s jam-packed into this pant, we’re confident you’ll agree. This
is the ultimate in lower-body protection and performance, a pant that offers the
highest levels of protection, comfort and durability. Take a look…
PANTS FEATURES
FIT
Straight-leg Fit
MX riders stand most of the time (or should), so the
Classick is cut to reflect that. The result is more comfort
and a better fit
ALS TECHNOLOGY
Air Line System (ALS) Air Intake
JT Racing’s Air Line System (ALS) air intake vents are positioned
mid-thigh (so they’re not blocked by knee braces) and feature
a venturi effect for positive cooling when in motion and while
stopped
KNEE
Articulated 360-degree Knee Design
Multi-directional flex, 1680 Denier ballistics
construction for durability and maximum abrasion
protection, hand-formed and hand-cut padding, and
plenty of room for a knee brace add up to the trickest
pant knee in all of motocross
WAIST SUPPORT
High-back Waist
Benefits include a more secure fit at the waist, improved
jersey retention, adjustable lower-back support and
low-spine impact protection thanks to a 10mm-thick pad
ADJUSTMENT
Cinch-Strap Adjustable Waist Closure
For a perfect fit every time or additional low-back support
via the High-Back design, just grab the hook-and-loopsecured strap on each side of the waist and tighten to taste
ALS TECHNOLOGY
Air Line System (ALS) air intake
The all-new Classick motocross pant utilizes JT Racing’s Air
Line System to the fullest, incorporating dual mid-thigh air

Stretchy, JT-logoed stretch panels run down the outside of

The liner of many MX pants runs only from waist

JT RACING PROFILE - John ‘JOHNNY O’ HANNAH’ Wolven
There is no doubt: John Wolven – aka Johnny O’Hannah – is the world’s
ultimate JT Racing fan and motocross historian. On the subjects of motocross
and JT, O’Hannah (the nickname comes from a combo of O’Mara and Hannah) is
knowledgeable, outspoken and always bigger-than-life. He can usually be found
wearing some of the coolest period or customized JT Racing gear around, his
legendary orange, JT-emblazoned shop jacket being a perfect example. But there’s
another, more serious side to Johnny O, one few people know about. That side
includes several military tours in Iraq and a stint as a U.S. Army troop-training guru
tasked with keeping new-to-the-desert arrivals alive – a job that won him a Bronze
Star. Because his training included the ‘slow down to go faster’ technique taught
by Gary and David Bailey (which worked for fresh grunts training with automatic
weapons in close-quarter villages), Wolven recently gave David Bailey the Bronze
Star as a gift. Which means you can add generosity to the man’s resume. We love
hanging with Johnny O when it comes to motocross and JT Racing stuff. But our
respect for him goes far beyond motorcycles.

MX HELMET
ALL NEW
JT Racing’s radical, all-new ALS-02
JT revolutionized the motocross helmet status quo in 1986 with the stunning ALS-2, a futuristic full-face lid that set the stage for today’s modern
helmets. The legendary ALS-2 helped many a JT champion reach the pinnacle of the sport: Bailey, Lechien, Glover, Vimond, Bayle and many
others. For 2012 we’ve raised the bar yet again with the ALS-02, a high-tech successor to the stylish, award-winning original that blends modern
technology and manufacturing with the most advanced features, optimum performance, supreme comfort and peerless safety.
Built from impact-absorbing, hand-laid fiberglass and incorporating the most advanced venting system ever offered, JT’s new Air Line System
helmet features an integrated visor assembly, a tall and wide eyeport design that accepts the widest possible range of goggles, a comfortable
and moisture-wicking inner liner, three shell sizes for optimum fit, DOT/SNELL/ECE 22-05 certified and seven mind-busting, gear-matching color
schemes. As Seb Tortelli demonstrates here, the classically styled and elegant ALS-02 is the perfect complement to our stylish and technically
devastating pant, jersey and glove designs.

JT’s ALS-1 and ALS-2 helmets blew minds in the early and mid 1980s
because they were unlike anything else on the market – uniquely
shaped, vividly styled and classically painted. Even from afar, you knew
you were looking at a JT helmet thanks to stellar design and elegant
graphics. It didn’t hurt that guys like Bailey, Lechien, Glover, Vimond,
Bayle and others wore them to multiple national and world championships. You’ll be able to spot the new ALS-02 as well, and for many of
the same aesthetic reasons. But there’s more – a lot more…

While some manufacturers cram sizes XS to XXL into 2

optimum liner shape for maximum comfort and fit. A

Hand-laid Fiberglass Shell
FRP_Composite Material
Fiberglass is an optimal shell material due to its energy
absorbing properties. Combined with our molded EPS
liner, the fiberglass shell gives the ALS-02 maximum
impact protection

Revolutionary Air Line System Venting
JT’s next-generation ALS helmet venting technology uses
eleven intake and exit vents – and multiple air channels
within the EPS liner – to move tremendous amounts of
air into, through and out of the helmet, especially in the
lower rear section, an area notoriously hard to cool
