FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. – Arnette is proud to announce that on September 15th its all-new Series 3MX™ goggle will hit finer action sports and specialty motocross retailers worldwide.

Dripping with heritage, rich design detail and loads of flavor, the Series 3MX is a super kickass goggle for super badass riders.  Available in 14 vibrant colorways, it features a true anatomical fit, articulating strap attachments for micro-tweak helmet compatibility, posts for tear-offs, and triple-layer Combo Plate face foam that wicks away sweat and maximizes comfort.  The Cool Breeze venting system promotes air-flow while the scratch-resistant Lexan® lens provides UV protection, impact resistance and the best in fog-free visual performance – all at a great value.  MSRP: $44.95 (USD)

Leading the charge for Arnette’s resurgence into motocross is FMX heavyweight Adam Jones.  “It’s rad to ride for Arnette,” Adam says.  “The new motocross goggles work really well, and I'm pumped to be riding for such a cool company that makes such great products!”

Widely recognized as one of the sport’s most progressive riders, Adam is a fierce competitor who is super focused yet funny as hell.  He earned X Games gold in 2007, won the overall FMX title on the Dew Tour in 2008, and most recently took home a silver medal in Moto X Freestyle at Summer X Games 17.  Fueled by classic punk tracks and lots of metal, Adam is a dedicated rider who you can always count on to push himself and the sport to the next level.

In the months ahead, keep an eye out for Adam as he will be wearing Arnette’s new Series 3MX goggle while he competes at all the major contests.

Remember, when the track heats up and the dirt starts flying, Arnette’s got you covered!

"It’s rad to ride for Arnette," Adam says.  "I remember seeing the MX goggles years ago and always thinking they were awesome, so to be the first team rider back on the program is an honor.  The goggles work really well, and I'm pumped to be riding for such a cool company that makes such great products!"

Widely recognized as one of the sport’s most progressive riders, Adam Jones is the inventor of such mind-numbing FMX tricks as the Stripper Flip, Cordova Flip, Shaolin Flip and Corpse Flip.  A fierce competitor with a killer sense of humor, Adam truly epitomizes what Arnette stands for: tradition, progression, good times, and going balls-to-the-wall all day, every day.

Adam’s competitive accomplishments are vast, with highlights including a gold medal at the 2007 Summer X Games, winning the overall title on the Dew Tour in 2008, and most recently a silver medal performance in Moto X Freestyle at the 2011 Summer X Games.  Fueled by classic punk tracks and lots of metal, Adam is a dedicated rider who you can always count on to push himself and the sport to the next level.

"We’re super excited to have Adam on the team," says Arnette Team and Events Specialist Brent Bearden.  "He’s been leading the charge in FMX for many years and his insane riding style truly speaks for itself.  Adam will be a huge asset to the brand, and having him represent Arnette is really amazing."

In the months ahead, keep an eye out for Adam as he will be wearing Arnette’s new Series 3MX goggle while he competes at all the major contests.

Dripping with heritage, rich design detail and loads of flavor, the Series 3MX features a true anatomical fit, articulating strap attachments for micro-tweak helmet compatibility, posts for tear-offs, and triple-layer Combo Plate face foam that wicks away sweat and maximizes comfort.  The Cool Breeze venting system promotes air-flow while the scratch-resistant Lexan® lens provides UV protection, impact resistance and the best in fog-free visual performance – all at a great value.

We are glad to inform you that Nick is out of the hospital, feeling better and has picked up right where he left off.
