Thor "Gangster" wear

[danjerman]

In all consideration, I don't think a name like "original old bandana print" would have sold very well. There isn't much harm in this, its just a name, and I'm sure they didn't have any ill intentions with their clothing naming convention.

I don't think flat brimmed hats are anything worth throwing a fit about either. You can't expect the next generation to dress the exact same that you did, and just because it's different doesn't mean its bad. Fashion changes from time to time, and one can either embrace the change or reject it. In fact, I bet that your parents had a large outcry about all the kids wearing bell bottoms in the 70's, and alas, we all lived through it. Look how well they turned out!

I never really said I did not like the look, just don't like the name. I would of probably bought some, just don't like how they are "Marketing" it. :cool:

hmmm.... since we were getting technical there....
proper english-no, a word-yes.

 

[2-Strokes 4-ever]

Fine for them I suppose, as long no one's feelings are hurt when I don't wear it.
Hey, wasn't it just 15-17 years ago, that our gear AND our bikes were sporting lots of pink?

 

[XRpredator]

mulisha fine but no gangstas??

The "mulisha" bunch is the same bunch as the gangsta bunch. All of them are fools

actually i wear flat brimmed hats but . . . i dont wear shirts to big for me, and pants to big. when people wear clothes to big for them they look like complete morons and immature . . . i dont follow a bandwagon. i wear what i want.

When people wear flatbrimmed hats they are following a bandwagon and look like complete morons.

Or they look like my grampa, who didn't necessarily wear it flat, but the bill did angle to one side or the other, depending on which direction the sun was coming from.

maybe not, but it's actually called "paisley"

In fact, I bet that your parents had a large outcry about all the kids wearing bell bottoms in the 70's, and alas, we all lived through it. Look how well they turned out!

I'm not sure you want to go there. Not sure I'd be braggin' on that bunch. They brought us disco.

Hey, wasn't it just 15-17 years ago, that our gear AND our bikes were sporting lots of pink?

*your* bike and gear, maybe. not mine.

The thing that amuses me about this whole concept is the nincumpoops that wanna be "ganstas" are usually over-privileged suburban kids who would wet themselves at the site of what real world gangsters are all about.

I'll be happy to enlighten any of these posers who want to come visit me here in Chicago.;)

... and someone should tell these dopes, that this ugly ass gear looks an awful lot like the footy-pajamas I wore when I was two years old. If you show up on a starting line with this candy-ass gear on, you should pull off at the first corner, dismount, and kick your own ass for being such a tool. :rotfl:

 

[wake_rider]

I like it. I'm not a fan of the first one up in the left hand corner, but some of the other stuff looks really good. It doesn't bother me at all that they call it "gangsta" because I don't worry about what other people do as long as it doesn't impede on me or my family's rights. Other than that, who cares...

 

[truespode]

Original Gangsta is something some people use to describe people who have been involved in something a long time.

One company I worked for described people who helped start it up as OG's as in Original Gansta's.

I don't have a problem with the description.

I see this thread as just another case of America the Offended.

Thats Exactly what I was thinking. :coocoo:

pants that don't come all the way up

I wear those, but its not by choice. :(

True. For some reason people here in the U.S. have a tendency to LOOK for things to be mad about. I don't understand why everyone has to try to be a martyr about the most insignificant subjects.

 

[Rich Rohrich]

To paraphrase Crash Davis in the movie Bull Durham

If you win 20 in the Show you can wear stupid looking gear (like James Stewart) and the press'll think you're colorful.

Until you win twenty in the Show, however, it means you're a tool.

People should be mad because this gear is FUGLY, not because it has a stupid poser wannabe named attached to it.

I agree 100% with that.

It is some fugly gear.

[2-Strokes 4-ever]

Pink.....

*your* bike and gear, maybe. not mine.

Come on now........ in the early 90's ALL the Jap brands were flurting with shades of pink, weather bike color or grafix. The Gangsta stuff is ugly, but some of our early 90's gear, if worn today, would say loud and clear....... "I am gay."

 

[truespode]

"I am gay."

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Right Pred?

Ivan

Other than the "paisley" print, I really like the other gear. Especially the red/charcoal/black stuff and the one with the psuedo checkered flag look.

Any of you guys know a guy named Connie Fiest? You should see the stuff he wears. The only side any of us would see racing with him would be the back side and you wouldn't see that very long.

You mean this guy??? Yeah, he was odd, but very fast.

 

[IndyMX]

It seems he had a different DayGlo color for every moto...

And what's with that number plate?

 

[thorman75]

Looks like Redbud, yeah thats him, hard to miss him. The number plate? only he knows.

You have schooling? :laugh:

Rich you said it best, take some of these kids to a real ghetto and see what happens :laugh:

In the aftermath, being a citizen will suddenly seem like a compelling alternative. ;)

 

[HubertGarfunkleIII]

eh its just a name. Gangsta style has alot of influence wether you live in the middle of LA or a cornfield in Indiana. Its a reality that gangstas have some influences. Plus its just a word that thrown around alot. I have yet to score crack ever off anyone riding a dirtbike. So I am to worried yet.

And if this really worries you, are you ok with the metal Mulisha image?? mulisha fine but no gangstas??

the metal mulisha is the reason why stuff like this is being made. before there was fmx and before there was the metal mulisha dirtbiking was not the cool thing to do. Since fmx and M/M dirtbiking is the cool thing to do. They have started a whole little trend or something theres all these kids that want be bad asses so they ride dirtbikes and wear SRh etc. Im sure you guys know what Im talking about? I see guys with the srh logo tattooed on them as well as the metal mulisha logo. oh and alot of the metal mulisha guys are on drugs. but im sure you all knew that already too.

 

[HubertGarfunkleIII]

oh yeah the gear is ugly

 

[HubertGarfunkleIII]

Hopefully I'll get to introduce some pathetic "Gangsta" wanna be wearing that crap to some 450 roost this year.. Whooot!

the funniest thing said in this thread! :rotfl:
