Blackwater 100 1983 Vintage Men's T-Shirt

Description

The Blackwater 100 is a motocross race unlike any other, and one that is still known as the toughest race of all time. It started in the streets of Davis, West Virginia, and took riders out of town to wander through rivers, mountains, swamps and fields. Riders had to muscle through seemingly unending swamp sections, bottomless mudholes, squared shale hill climbs, steep rocky downhills and some of the tightest forest trails on earth. After all of that, riders hit the worst obstacle of all - the Highway 93 river crossing - before seeing the scoring barrels back in town. At this point, a nice young lady checked off his number, and then told him he’s completed only 20 miles and sent him back out to do four more laps. Sounds grueling? Well, the Blackwater 100 didn't get its reputation as the world's toughest race for nothing, and just completing the challenge is worthy of bragging rights, as this one was not for the weak.

Details

Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature 'relic-ing' process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can't be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you've dreamed of and more - it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Sizing

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you're on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.

All sizes are provided in inches!
