on the cover of the new racerx is a picture of david bailey in his jt helmet. there is a bell sticker on the mouthpiece. ???

I haven't seen the new racerx but I'm guessing that the helmet has a detachable mouthpiece.......so maybe he just swaped his Jt mouthpiece for a bell one.....?:think:

My Jt gloves didn't have any bell logos on them :confused:

I don't recall ever hearing of a JT helmet?

JT had the ALS-1 (open face) and the ALS-2 (full face). Don't know who made 'em, but they were trick!

I kind of miss the JT gear. I still have a few jerseys and a chest protector. Seems as though a few years ago, they kind of exited our market to concentrate on the paintball segment, where they dominate.

I thought I remembered reading that they were made in Italy by AGV, but cna't find confirmation now. They were the smoothest of the smooth back in the day. :aj:

JMB wore JT gear when he came to the USA. Check it out when you see old pics of Bayle.

This is not gonna be too impressive without the details, but loooong ago in DB, they had a story about how many familar companies got started.
I can't remember his name, but a guy was having MX socks made in Tijianua(sp) and standing in line to incorporate, had to have a name for his company. He reversed TJ for the town, into JT. They had the whole story, but it has faded from memory.
