Grenade is no stranger when it comes to motocross. They've already had a Metal Mulisha collaboration moto glove on the market for some time now, but they've decided to jump into moto head first now by releasing a full line of moto gloves. From the looks of the prototype designs I received, there are three different styles with multiple color ways, including a Hart & Huntington collaboration and the Metal Mulisha collab.
There is only so much you can do with a moto glove, so I don't really think there are any special "performance" features that make the new line of gloves stand out from the rest already on the market. But, they do look fresh and ultimately that's all that people care about. As of now, there's no ETA for when the gloves will be available for purchase, but the new catalog drops shortly, so my guess is that they'll be available when the new spring line is released. However, if you can't wait that long and you need your Grenade fix immediately, cruise on over to grenadegloves.com
and cop a pair of the infamous Metal Mulisha gloves. These are the gloves that Todd Potter was wearing when he was fined $5,000 and kicked off the Dew Tour for flipping off the camera.

Leyba is a bitter, retired FMX rider who likes to sit in his cubicle and call the professionals of the sport wussies for not pulling 360s and double backflips. He claims he quit riding FMX before flips were even invented ... yeah, right.
Cliff Talley
Making FMX videos exciting is easy. Making them look good is not. Cliff Talley does both of these well and still manages to find enough time to piss off his neighbors with his Travis Barker-esque drum skills.
Chris Tedesco
You've seen his photos on the covers of Transworld, Racer X and more. You've also seen his tequila shooting skills at your local dive bar. Ladies, Chris is single and looking to mingle.
Grant "Goba" O'Brien
FMX in Australia wouldn't exist if it weren't for Goba. Well, maybe it would, but it wouldn't be nearly as cool. I don't know why, but we can't quit calling him gobalobadingdong — it just rolls off the tongue.
Tes Sewell
Tes is the dude who's always involved in everything that's going on in FMX. How he does it, we don't know, but that's the reason we hired him to share his plethora of FMX wisdom in the form of a monthly column.
