We have been blown away by the ease in which BYD kits apply, and especially so on the Husqvarna, which can be a challenge when it comes to the split side panels.
The guys at Backyard Design USA are up for any challenge when it comes to making your bike or helmet look cool, as they can help you create the graphic kit or helmet wrap of your dreams in only a few easy steps. Backyard Design is known for being one of the first custom graphics makers to have a completely interactive website, where customers can design their own kits with a few clicks on a computer mouse. What started off as a project to fund their Supercross racing efforts has now grown into a worldwide graphics manufacturer, with dual headquarters in the United States and Germany. This 6D Helmets ATR-2 Youth helmet will be awarded to one lucky 50cc racer at the Mini Major.īackyard Design was founded in 2010 by two privateer Supercross racers: Jared Hicks from Alabama and Philipp Klakow from Germany. Production helmets these days are cooler than ever, but there’s something about a custom-painted helmet that can’t be beat. It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen Tag, and it was cool to see his son Bronson working alongside him in the shop. Last week I swung by the Tagger Designsshop in Lake Elsinore, California, to pick up a helmet that 6D Helmets had painted up for the November 7-10 Seven MX Mini Major. One of my favorite parts of the helmet is the name lettering Tag came up with for the back of my helmet, These days, Tagger Designs is known for their trademark graffiti name lettering, but I still think this is the coolest font I’ve ever seen used on one of my helmets. During one of my rut-induced crashes at Loretta’s, I snapped the clear plastic screw off and didn’t have a spare.) (If you look closely, you’ll notice a metal bolt holding the visor on. To be honest, I had no idea how he would blend all of the elements together, but I was more than thrilled with what he came up with. When I handed the helmet over to Tag, I also gave him photos of several Japanese design elements that I wanted him to work in: The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai, Japanese cherry blossoms, the Japanese Rising Sun Flag, and the plum blossom family crest that is used by the Maeda family. While that is a story for another day (crashed nine times during the first practice session in the ruts, drew gate pick 38, went 26-12-6 for 15th in the 30+ class), this Shoei VFX-R helmet painted by my friend Tag Gasparian at Tagger Designs is my favorite souvenir from that particular summer.
