“THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME.THIS IS PERSONAL.”


HISTORYAmazingly, it all started with socks. Colorful, stretchy motocross socks thatJohn and Rita Gregory – a pharmacist couple living in San Diego – figuredmight sell well enough to offset John’s growing racing expenses during the late1960s. The couple sold socks out in the desert and at the track from the trunkof 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 hadshuttered the pharmacy and were pursuing their fledgling motocross businessfull-time. The new company needed a name when a business license becamenecessary, and one was conjured hastily while in line at the county office. Johnoffered ‘TJ’, or Tijuana, where the socks originated. But Rita swapped the lettersdue 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 princelysum of $100 and all the socks he could use. The exposure helped. They soonadded matching jerseys to the line, and signed Hallman Racing – their firstdistributor – to sell them. They then added a product that would soon revolutionizethe entire industry – nylon motocross pants.By the mid 1970s, JT Racing’s growth mirrored that of the sport of motocrossitself – meteoric. JT now offered all manner of innovative and increasinglystylish MX gear, including gloves, pants, goggles, jerseys, face guards, airJT Through The Years...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, including500cc World Champion Heikki Mikkola, USGP winner Gerrit Wolsink and125cc National Champion Marty Smith. Now, race fans and enthusiastscould not only cheer on their favorite riders, but wear the same gear theirheroes wore.John Gregory said the company’s crazy growth was like “Surviving acrash!” JT Racing soon added Bob ‘Hurricane’ Hannah to its roster, andin the coming years signed such notable champions as Danny LaPorte,Broc Glover, Chuck Sun, Marty Tripes, Rick Burgett, Tommy Croft and KentHowerton. In later years they’d sign Jeff Ward, David Bailey, Ricky Johnson,Johnny O’Mara, Ron Lechien and others. These champions helped with R&Din addition to racking up race wins and championships, and were featuredJohn andRita Gregorymove toSo CalThe Gregorysbegin selling socksfrom pharmacyand carThe Gregorys establish JTRacing; Sign Hallman Racingas distributorJT introduces colorfulscramble jerseys– solids and stripesJT offers first NylonMX pantsJT releases first MX catalogJT introduces leathersignature Mikkolaglove196719681969197019711972197319741975Joel Robert wins 1968 World Titleon CZJT Racing signs Joel Robert to wear MXsocks; Robert wins 3rd 250cc World TitleJT signs Gerrit WolsinkJT signs Heiki MikkolaMarty Smith wins AMA 125title; Wolsink wins CarlsbadUSGP; Mikkola wins 500cctitleSmith wins AMA 125 title;Wolsink wins Carlsbadsecond USGP; Mikkola 2ndin 500cc championship


JT RACING USAattractions in JT’s unique promotional campaigns. There was a personalelement to the JT team as well. “Being with JT,” remembers longtimeJT rider Broc Glover, “was like having a second set of parents – a realfamily thing.”Armed with the sport’s best riders, all wearing the most stylish andtechnically advanced gear available, JT Racing led the way, continuallyresetting the bar during the late ’70s and following a technological anddesign trajectory that would ensure its place at the front of the packfor years to come. JT, for instance, launched its own leather motocrossboot. It introduced fully personalized head-to-toe outfits for Hannah andMikkola, the world’s top riders at the time. It debuted new materialsand color schemes seemingly every few months. It offered severaldifferent glove designs as well as custom lettering. It also led the wayon upper-body protection, introducing the Ventilator and Team Screenchest protection systems. Meanwhile, JT riders seemed to win everythingin sight, with Hannah, Burgett, Glover, Laporte and Howerton all scoringnational championships during this era.Sun, Hansen and O’Mara – outfitted in JT gear. In ’82, LaPorte won the250cc world championship, with Hansen taking the 250cc outdoor andSupercross titles. In ’83, JT introduced the revolutionary V2000 andV500 chest protectors, which Bailey wore en-route to the 1983Supercross and 250cc outdoor title. Bailey continued his assault on the500cc national championship in ’84, winning it outright while wearingJT’s radical new ALS-1 helmet. He repeated the 500cc feat in ’86 whilewearing one of JT Racing’s most memorable products – the revolutionaryfull-face ALS-2 helmet. With its trick venting system and integratedvisor assembly, the ALS-2 broke new ground bothtechnically and stylistically.The trend continued well into the ’80s – true glory years for JT Racing.In 1980, Chuck Sun won the 500cc national title.

Glovercrashed, Bailey went 1-1 for the win.JT Through The Years...Innovation. Style. Champions. The combination had worked flawlesslyfor nearly three decades, and had transformed JT Racing into the world’sdominant motocross gear company. But things change, and in 2001, Johnand Rita Gregory sold their esteemed company and retired, sending the JTRacing motocross brand into hibernation for a decade. “When I left JT Racingto work for ESPN in the mid 1990s,” remembers David Bailey, who’dbeen a designer there after his career-ending crash in ’87, “I sorta thoughtthe brand would soon be dead and buried. Which it was, and for a longtime. The latter 1990s weren’t kind to JT’s motocross efforts. But it seemsyou can’t keep a good company down. This brand is strong, andit still resonates.” Time for the next chapter in theJT Racing legacy.JT launchesrevolutionaryV2000 and V500protection systemJT debuts ALS-1open-face helmetJT launches Day-Glocolors; Bailey debutsorange duds atRodil CupJT introduces full-faceALS-2; Bailey debuts it atSan Diego SupercrossJT debuts prints; Lechien’s‘Dem Bones’Collection is first up19831984198519861987Bailey wins SX and AMA 250cc titles;O’Mara wins AMA 125cc title; USA winsMXdN again; Glover wins AMA 500cc titleBailey wins AMA 500cc title; RickJohnson wins AMA 250cc title; TeamUSA wins MXdN againGlover wins AMA 500cc title; Lechienwins AMA 125cc title; Team USA winsMXdN againBailey wins AMA 500cc title;Team USA wins MXdN again

On the subjects of motocrossand JT, O’Hannah (the nickname comes from a combo of O’Mara and Hannah) isknowledgeable, outspoken and always bigger-than-life. He can usually be foundwearing some of the coolest period or customized JT Racing gear around, hislegendary orange, JT-emblazoned shop jacket being a perfect example. But there’sanother, more serious side to Johnny O, one few people know about. That sideincludes several military tours in Iraq and a stint as a U.S. Army troop-training gurutasked with keeping new-to-the-desert arrivals alive – a job that won him a BronzeStar. Because his training included the ‘slow down to go faster’ technique taughtby Gary and David Bailey (which worked for fresh grunts training with automaticweapons in close-quarter villages), Wolven recently gave David Bailey the BronzeStar as a gift. Which means you can add generosity to the man’s resume. We lovehanging with Johnny O when it comes to motocross and JT Racing stuff. But ourrespect for him goes far beyond motorcycles.


MX HELMETALL NEWJT Racing’s radical, all-new ALS-02JT 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 modernhelmets. The legendary ALS-2 helped many a JT champion reach the pinnacle of the sport: Bailey, Lechien, Glover, Vimond, Bayle and manyothers. For <strong>2012</strong> we’ve raised the bar yet again with the ALS-02, a high-tech successor to the stylish, award-winning original that blends moderntechnology 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 Systemhelmet features an integrated visor assembly, a tall and wide eyeport design that accepts the widest possible range of goggles, a comfortableand moisture-wicking inner liner, three shell sizes for optimum fit, DOT/SNELL/ECE 22-05 certified and seven mind-busting, gear-matching colorschemes. As Seb Tortelli demonstrates here, the classically styled and elegant ALS-02 is the perfect complement to our stylish and technicallydevastating pant, jersey and glove designs.
