Watkins Boyz Builds Chris a Beauty
He is a man beyond compare -a giant in an industry full of actual giants. He might often cheat while sporting his high-heeled Red Wing Logger boots but don’t let those lofty kicks fool you. Like Napoleon, his inseam is shy bf NBA requirements, but his empire is vast, his power massive, and he proudly rocks unsightly long hair, gray though it is not – at least for the time being. His name makes most weekend wrenchers and perhaps a few real, old-school tough guys tremble.

Thinking of buying cheap MX gloves for the next riding season? Think again.
