some sick stuff ill looking at some shirts
POC has a set too. Companies realize that dh riders and racers are all about the knee, not so much shin. Seems to be the same with freeride if they opt for any gear. All their gear looks a lot better though, slimmed down.
not liking the full face graphics much, but the half shell looks pretty cool, as well as the jerseys. solid line-up for the '10 season.
Fox released some newer graphic'd lids early in '09. Nice to see a carbon helmet along the choices with the composites. Great looking stuff, wear it proud.
None of the guys are wearing fox helmets in the pic while they are riding. May not have to but looks bad for fox.
Yeh, I noticed that too, thought it was pretty funny, I thought Fox might have picked up on that, but maybe not 
like I stated, it has to do with contractual obligations. All of them have been signed with other helmet providers for a while. Cam does use the Fox Rampage for his full face though.
It's still a Fox ad though, I would have thought that Fox would ask them to take their helmets off for the interview unless they were payed not to or wwanted to promote safety or something like that.
RIders have various sponsors for different parts that's a given. Cam has a signature model DJ lid by TSG as does Mr. Zink (he rides for Troy Lee). McCaul has been with Fox since he turned pro, at that time they did not have a dedicated DJ lid, so he just like the other Fox riders got picked up with other helmet manufacturers.
The prices are right out of the 2010 Fox Clothing catalog that is beside me, so I think that they are pretty accurate
Super nice helmet!
They are sweet. I've had last years version of them for a while now and they're holding up really well!
The knee pads are really pretty different in a GOOD way compared to the 661's - I tried some at OutDoor demo this year and they are WAY more comfortable. Pedaled with them on for over an hour.
Oh also on the comment about the guys not wearing Fox helmets - they all have a different helmet sponsor, except if you check out any shot of Cam with a full face on he wears a Fox Rampage helmet - he just can't wear the Fox half shell. I think he is with Bell for that?

That skate lid is craaazy light. Their AM/FR half-shell is really really impressive though, pity it isn't featured here. Feels fantastic.
those are nice products, but honestly, who has $380 to spend on a helmet that'll end up getting wrecked
