Yea fuck those cock suckers! It's unbelievable the lengths people will go to just to insult each other! At least you were wearing gear. As far as reputation goes,Alpinestars was the first company I know of to produce "stunting gear" and also the first to sponsor stunters. I've gone down a few times in Icon gear and it has held up wonderfully! Quite frankly,I have a Dainese jacket that fell apart when I got in a crash about ten years ago. Shit,my Joe Rocket jacket feels like a sweatshirt compared to my Icon jackets.
