Factory Effex has long roots in Motocross and real
soul. It started with a true love for the sport of
motocross.
Factory Effex was there at the start of motocross in
the USA. Way back in 1967 when I was a spectator at
some of the very first motocross races in the US.
Castaic, Hopetown, and Westlake Village was where
the Europeans lapped most of the U.S. riders. When I
turned pro, I was on the ground floor of racing with
the Europeans like DeCoster, Robert, Wiel, Hallman,
Hansen, Everts, Mikkola, Karsmakers, and the great
U.S. stars like Lackey, Weinert, the Jones brothers,
Desoto, Chaplin, and Semics to name just a few. I
was at the forefront of the riders from the U.S. who
began beating the Europeans on a regular basis, and
in essence, shaping motocross in the U.S. as you
know it today. I won the 250cc class at the Carlsbad
U.S.G.P. the very same year Marty Moats beat all the
Europeans. Eventually the U.S. Nationals replaced
the Trans-AMA series, and when Supercross was born I
even managed to take the top spot on the podium for
the 500 class in the very first Supercross held at
the L.A. Coliseum, back in 1972.
Factory Effex officially started in 1992 with a line
of graphics (which at the time were looked at more
as protection for your plastic than as pieces of art
I consider our current products to be). The graphic
industry was soon born, and I'm proud to say that we
were there from the beginning.
We love this sport and we love what we do. Nearly
everyone in our organization rides, from the
warehouse crew to the art department to sales and
marketing and senior management.
