For the only U.S. round of the World Superbike Championship that took place in Utah, helmet artist Aldo Drudi of Drudi Performance created a special design for Ben Spies helmet and boots. Not as wild looking as Valentino Rossi’s helmet designs that Drudi usually creates, Spies HJC lid had the Texas Lone Star on the front and on the back Drudi added the slogan Texas Terror, and considering the way Spies dominated both races at Millersports Park it was truly an apt expression.

The Alpinestar boots were made up with the classical red, white and blue Stars and Stripes, his last name and his nickname “Elbowz” imprinted on the head of a Texas Longhorn, the horns of the steer probably symbolizing the way Spies keeps his elbows out while racing.
