DC Teamworks Collection – Travis Pastrana
The Fall 2009 TeamWorks Collection is a continuation of the original ideals the program established. The result is five product packs completely designed each rider’s specs and needs. Travis, Ken, Ricky, Nate and Adam worked with the DC design team to make the products 100% their own. From colors and materials to the sole patterns and cushioning systems, the latest TeamWorks Collection is a perfect suit to each athlete’s unique performance needs…and a fitting tribute to the still-evolving legacies of some of DC’s best athletes.
Here we got a preview of Travis Pastrana’s Radar TP and the TP hat, coming in black/true red.
And Ken Block’s Block Spartan High Wc black/gold.
