FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Carlsbad, CA—Tuesday, August 24th, 2010—The SPY family is pleased to congratulate and celebrate SPY’s legendary MC “King of Supercross,” seven-time AMA Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath as he will be inducted into The Twenty Second Annual Motorsports Hall of Fame of America. MC will accept this honor at The Fillmore in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday evening, August 25th 2010.

Jeremy has been an ambassador and a huge part of the SPY brand since 1995 and continues to push SPY to the next level. His vibrant energy, charisma and talent are unmatched and we’re amped to go full throttle for 2011 by celebrating MC’s 11th SPY signature moto goggle.

With the September release of the  “Throwback MC11” in the Klutch model, SPY is thrilled to have its favorite son honored in the Motorsports Hall of Fame. Jeremy’s 11th signature goggle features a triple row silicone, black face fleece, green vent covers, a signature MC print on the smoke with green mirror lens and to top it all off includes a free bonus lens! Jeremy’s retro design was inspired by his first SPY MX goggle season that put him on track for fame and for the world to welcome his greatness with open arms.

Jeremy never ceases to amaze us and we are proud to join with him the highest honor Motorsports has to offer.

Stay tuned for full coverage as Fuel TV will be filming his special induction into an episode of FIRST HAND.

Our Good Old Boy Brent Sandor.. Making Waves

August 19th, 2010

Check out our beloved Brent Sandor making waves in the industry, with his aggressive edgy take on goggle design and his love for art.  Brent breaks it down to us in his interview on Shay Boarder how snowboarding and art open may doors for him; “Snowboarding and art have introduced me to a world of friends and allowed me further my love of art and design. Snowboarding and art have brought me places and experiences most people will not get. It sounds cliché, but skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding defined the fork in the road where I chose the path I am on today…” We here at Spy feel blessed to have Brent manning our guns when it comes to the world of goggle design.. Congrats Brent.. its true what they say.. Hard work does pay off.
