I was Soo Excited when Troy Designed and painted my first Helmet, Top Shelf Brother 🏴‍☠️ Still have all 7 he did for my AMA World Superbike days🏴‍☠️🏁

[@wrestle259]

Man what a genuine lad

[@dangerus585]

A true artist never stops making art 💯

[@stevedouglas1654]

Bought one of his MTB helmet visors back in the day. Even his off the shelf helmets look cool 👍

[@mxcollin95]

One of the coolest dudes in the sport! 🤙🍻

[@barthur2645]

Troy and the other custom helmet painters were what got me through high school art.

[@anthonytorino9050]

The 90s where the best era for helmets and race gear, the designs and The colors where awesome. I still have my custom painted Arai helmet up on the shelf from the 90s.

[@kountatalk]

Those visors in the 90s made any helmet look so much better. I personally loved Emigs Shoei helmut with a Troy Lee Designs visor

[@whereisthesunshinewallace8469]

Best helmet designs in the world.

[@ChristopherOvrebo]

I can understand it would be kind of hard to do now with all the weird helmet shapes, but I loved the stick on fins he used to make

[@floobdrummer132]

Loved my Chicken Replica Shoei Helmet and my Troy Lee Visor for my bell helmet after that.

[@tomshoemaker662]

An icon of our sport and motorsports in general. Growing up you knew his name just like Ward, Johnson, Bailey and O’Mara. Loved the interview and such a genuine good guy! Long since past my racing days, but still need to get a TLD helmet. Happy to hear he’s got no plans to stop!

[@billberry3669]

Very good,entertaining interview!

From The:
screaming chief Design for
Scott Russell in the 90’ to now!!!
🔥💯👏👏👏✊

[@peterjanka2921]

Troy is an incredible dude and a great artist. He also knows how to run a business. A lot of people I have come across think you have to weasel every penny out of everyone to be successful. Not true and not any fun. 😎👍🏁🇺🇸🍻

[@kawasaki8051]

Helmets nowadays suck especially now that just about all of them are just a big Monster sticker. The 90s had some awesome helmets

[@motodad24k]

BEST!

[@darkhorse1531]

Master

[@Jones_92]

I have 2 custom painted helmets by Troy Lee. JT helmet and Bell moto 8

[@monchoiglesia208]

Red Bull and Monster spoil the personal look of the helmets.
