Young BMX riders who do not care about the history of BMX, do not put any value towards New Oakley B-1B grips. And why would they? Well, maybe they should have caught a pair of those grips during the Nora Cup presentation because you can buy a nice 32GB iPod Touch for the amount that these grips sell for on eBay. So what's so special about these grips? Nothing really, they're just hard to get and bring
back memories when the old dogs were little kids and couldn't afford the real Oakleys and were stuck with the hard plastic copies from Taiwan. Looked the same, but they weren't.
The B-1B grips are another collector's item that has been filling up the house and drives the other half crazy. But there's no way I can part with a gift like this.
