Fox Racing first opened for business in 1974, when Geoff Fox, a Ph. D. who taught physics at the University of Santa Clara, launched Moto-X Fox, a tiny distribution business for European motocross parts and accessories in a 1,500-square foot building in Campbell, California. Within two years, Moto-X Fox was manufacturing high-performance suspension and engine components for racers looking for an on-track advantage. In the spring of 1977 Geoff was determined to show the American motocross public that his products were superior to those of the competition. He created his own privately-owned professional motocross team, Team Moto-X Fox. Going up against the might of the Japanese factory teams, Team Moto-X Fox riders became the top non-factory riders in the series, finishing fifth, sixth and seventh in the highly-competitive AMA 125cc National Championship series, thereby achieving Geoff's goal of proving that his handmade parts were the best that money could buy.
During the series, Team Moto-X Fox riders wore bright red, yellow and orange race outfits. Handmade by Fox, the clothing became an instant hit with the fans and interested enthusiasts started calling the Fox shop in Campbell inquiring about its availability. Over the course of the next few years Fox was completely reorganized to become a major player in the U.S. motocross apparel industry. In 1980, Fox rider Mark Barnett won the company's first National Championship, and two years later, Brad Lackey won Fox 's (and the United States') first World Motocross Championship. In the ensuing two-plus decades, Fox-sponsored riders have won over 40 National Motocross and Supercross Championships. In 2006 Fox rider Ricky Carmichael won the AMA Supercross Championship, while Lifelong Fox rider James Stewart won the FIM World Supercross Championship.
Today, Fox remains a family owned and operated business, with the second generation working full-time at the company. During the last three decades, Fox Racing has become an international leader in the youth lifestyle clothing market with its famous Fox Head logo seen worldwide. In doing so, the family has held steadfast to Geoff Fox's original goal of making the best motocross products money can buy. Constant research, development, and fine-tuning goes into Fox race apparel and performance gear. Through the guidance and feedback of Fox's championship-winning athletes, the company continues to lead the charge by utilizing the best technology and design talent available to enhance and optimize the quality, comfort and performance of all of its products. It is through lessons learned through relationships with the best athletes in the world that Fox will continue to create and offer the finest lines of apparel and clothing available today.

Starting this week Sujetador deportivo is proud to announce that we will be stocking Flying Machine Factory (FMF) apparel. Check out our FMF Racing Apparel page for available product!
Over the decades, we’ve seen an amazing transformation in the world of motorcycles and ATVs. The progression of the technology is one of the challenges that keeps us going. FMF was there in the days when the singleshock and watercooled engines were huge innovations and we’re glad to be here now for the aluminum chassis and electronic fuel injection. Our goal will never change - take the most advanced machinery to its limit by building the world’s best performing exhausts. And its a fact, we build every exhaust by hand from start to finish right here in the U.S.
At the end of the day, there is always one major force keeping us motivated–throwing a leg over the bike and heading for the trails or the track. The biggest reward for us is knowing we’re helping our customers get the most out of their riding experience. We still ride every chance we get so we never forget why we got into this business in the first place.
With FMF being so passionate about the sport anyone should be proud to wear the brand just as we are proud to represent it. Keep an eye on our store for all of the great clothing items to come out and be the first to get them!

History of Metal Mulisha
Brian Deegan started riding Motocross at the age of 8 years old. He rode thru high school and started riding in the nationals for Super Cross. He felt that Super Cross didn’t really fit his image. There were too many rules and they wanted him to act a specific way at races. Well, that just didn’t work for him. He decided that he would start a new sport so he got a couple buddies together and they started doing tricks in his backyard. Their whole goal was to just have fun and push the sport to the edge. They called their new sport Freestyle Motocross. Brian Deegan and Larry Linkogle were the founders of Metal Mulisha in 1999 and they were joined early on by Ronnie Faisst and Jeremy Stenberg. Metal Mulisha was known as group of rowdy guys who had a lot to prove and made a name for themselves with all their crazy antics. Destruction and mayhem was the reputation that Metal Mulisha riders had created for themselves. They were able to backup their reputation by winning events. With all their hard work and dedication to the sport, Freestyle Motocross isn’t seen as the black sheep of Motocross anymore but as a legitimate part of the Action Sport scene. What started off as a small group of riders getting together at Brian Deegan’s house enjoying what they do best has since turned into an international business expanding into the realm of clothing, accessories and motorcycle graphics. Metal Mulisha has 23 riders on their Moto Team and 4 fighters on their Fight Team.
“World Domination” is their motto and they have definitely dominated the Action Sport World. Metal Mulisha is more of a family than anything else. All the riders enjoy the thrill of competition but at the end of the day they just love to ride and sharing in each others victories.
