My custom Crowbars + visit to O Lab

Ok, this is kind of a claim thread, but I still think that I'd share what I just did tonight because it was ill.
I had the chance to enter Oakley's rolling O Lab which is basically a huge truck in which they put their sunglasses and goggles to some tests to show the people why their products are so good. Like they shoot steel balls on their lens at the high speed of 102 mph just to show what their lens can handle! Seriously oakley is so on point, this truck is soooo off the chains (mucho bling to pay that truck!) If you want to see what it looks like, here is a youtube video of what they show in the truck:


and after that I had the chance to create my custom goggle with some frame options, lense options,
outrigger options and strap options that they had in display. So this is what I came up with, pretty
stoked on how it came out!

I am a die hard SPY+ fan. But after seeing everything that I saw tonight, I can definately tell you that Oakley has their shit on lock! They really surpass the standards of the goggle industry.

Nothing new.  I've known that for a while, that's why I like Oakley.  They also do a lot to portray themselves being the way they are, just to seem more bad.

The rolling O Lab was in town and I got an invite to a private oakley party from my boss (I work in a sports shop that carries Oakley). The party was sooo sick, open bar style! The next morning hurt though.
