34 years ago, a man named John Gregory and his wife Rita worked as pharmacists in National City, a suburb of San Diego. John, being an avid off-road motorcyclist, had an idea to start selling motorcycle socks at a local dirt track, which after awhile started to generate a considerable amount of income. Faced with being either a Pharmacist or start a Motocross accessories company, he chose the latter.  

 

JT’s first interests were focused in Motocross, they completely dominated the market between 1970 and 1985. All the famous riders of that era, Bob “The Hurricane” Hannah, Danny Laporte, Broc Glover, Rick Johnson, Jean-Micheal Bayle, David Bailey, Jeff Stanton, Scott Burnworth, Ron Lechien and just way too many to list... seriously.   Then, during the early ‘90’s more companies began entering the MX market and John began looking to spread his interests towards a completely unheard of sport called “Paintball”. Our goggle systems became the first mandatory safety equipment for this new sport, they were much smaller and cruder than the systems of today’s players, but they provided the essential safety needed to play this extremely wild and upcoming sport.   Today, JT offers a wide range of Goggle systems and protective gear for the sport of Paintball, as well as Paintball markers, competition gear, casual wear and accessories to enhance the players edge. We’ve been very fortunate over the last 33 years to be able to change the shape of 2 of the most exciting extreme sports in the world! And with the surge of players today, we look forward to an even brighter future.
