| Troy Lee: "A few years ago, I was down at Jeremy McGrath's house over Easter. He had this custom-built shelf around the perimeter of his garage where he wanted to display his old helmets. We started talking about all the cool paint jobs, and next thing I know, we're up in his attic hunting for helmets like they were Easter eggs. We brought them all down and lined them up in order of the championships he had won. So many memories came up. Jeremy was saying things like, 'I remember I won the Anaheim race in this one' and 'I was Rookie of the Year in this one' and 'This is when I was on the Suzuki and you painted Butterflies on my helmet for the opening round at the Coliseum.' Up to that point in time, I hadn't realized I had painted 56 helmets for him -- and probably a dozen more since." Jeremy McGrath: "When Troy spoke with me about doing this helmet, he asked me to choose the four helmet designs I liked the most. I chose the helmet I wore as a rookie when I won my first supercross championship; the helmet I wore in 1996 when I won 13 straight supercross main events; the helmet I wore for Anaheim that had $100 laminated into the design; and my favorite design of all -- the helmet with the red, yellow and black bubbles painted on it. Somehow, Troy was able to combine four helmets into one, and call each design out with small sayings like, 'Anaheim! My favorite track!','93 My Rookie Year','13 Straight wins!' and 'The King of Supercross!'" Troy Lee: "This was my inspiration to create and produce the limited edition Jeremy McGrath Replica helmet. We've been together through 72 supercross main events and seven supercross championships. In fact we've been together throughout his entire professional career. For the McGrath Replica we've taken four of Jeremy's favorite helmets and blended them together into a bitchin', one-of-a-kind, limited edition helmet. A full carbon-fiber shell with Kevlar®-reinforced weave and a total of 47 printed colors, this is the most unique helmet we've ever created. Also incorporated into the design is a candy red foil TLD logo, lines of silver leaf trim that separate the four designs, engine-turned titanium mouthpiece and vents, a white liner, black (or red) rubber molding and limited edition numbering." The Jeremy McGrath Replica helmet will be available in early 2009, and will be the first of many more to come. |
