The Prodigy’s frontman Keith Flint might be known as The Firestarter on stage, but on the race track we reckon he’s probably better known as a speed demon! We love these images of Keith in his custom made Alpinestars race suit, gunning it around the tracks on his Suzuki bike and visiting Alpinestars' HQ.Alpinestars have been working closely with Keith to produce a bespoke set of leathers which feature specially commissioned logos and FLINT decals and just for you here's a snippet from the full interview with Keith about his new suit:
Did you have any input in its design? "Only that I wanted it to look aggressive and not like a church mouse!"
Is there a story behind the design?
"There used to be an illegal road race in Essex around 15 years ago, called the ‘Rat Run’. It started at Rat Lane, hence the name…"
Why and how did you become interested in racing?
"I’ve been interested in racing since I was 14, the natural progression is to get on the track and emulate the people you admire. I got the chance and did a few races between ‘98 and 2000. I got the taste for it again this year and Crescent Suzuki put a bike together for me. The buzz is back…!"
