Full Gear Vs. Just a Helmet

[mywifeknowseverythin]

When you Ride......What do you Don?????

All the Latest Tech. that is on the Shelf??? Or do you just go Commando with a Helmet???

WHAT SAY YOU!!!!

[Stoopidbot1]

I wear every piece of gear I got. Boots, riding pants, jersey, chest protector, helmet and gloves. I dress for the crash. not the ride.

[mellowyellow]

Add to that elbow guards, knee pads, and a kidney belt. I feel like frickin Robocop out there.

[Sc0tt]

I wear helmet, goggles, gloves and boots and sometimes a jersey.

[mellowyellow]

Now if I'm riding in the sand, helmet, flip flops, and a G-string. Oh the freedom...

[powermaddd400ex]

well in the summer just some jeans, shirt, boots, helmet,and my chest protector.

but when its cold out i wear long johns, riding pants,underarmour,jersey huge socks, boots, helmet, chest protector, and gloves.

but whether you ride with all your gear is up to you, as long as your helmet is on, its fine in my book.

Well, it's pretty obvious that this board needs more fast, hard riding, daredevil types like Bot, Wheeler, MWKE, and myself.

One thing I've learned is that the older you get, the longer it takes for those bumps and bruises to quit hurttin.

I know what you mean, just think how you would feel after a 100 miler.?

I thought you fell into the flip flop and G-string catagory!

Edited December 17, 2008 by mellowyellow
How the hell do you spell "catagory"? MWKE your in a class all by yourself!

[Stoopidbot1]

MWKE, we don't consider a thong, flip flops, bicycle helmet, and over sized novelty sun glasses "riding gear".

[Sc0tt]

I believe with a thong only there would be some chafing and flip flops are hard to shift with.....:bouncen:

[Stoopidbot1]

You think you get monkey butt after a long ride now...try it in a thong while adding sand in the mix. I foresee some unlucky spouse applying ointment and band-aids!

[Stoopidbot1]

Why do you think I wear full gear now...and I'm not allowed to hangout with MWKE any more.

[dirtdevil96]

I wear helmet, goggles, gloves and boots and sometimes a jersey.

That's what I USED to wear.I got hurt about 3-4 weeks ago and I'm still feelin it.I never went to the doctor;but I think I either broke or cracked a couple ribs,aggravated the rotator cuff on my r shoulder,and pulled/tweaked several muscles all over last time I went riding.I rolled my DVX400 three separate times in one day in the course of about an hour and a half.After Christmas is done I'm planning on getting a bunch of new riding gear as well as new handlebars,different tires,nerfbars & f/r bumpers

Or were you WOT in a "YO" and Zigged when you should have Zagged 3 times....LMAO!!!

[Stoopidbot1]

I had that kind of luck at the beginning of last season. Over the bars 4 times in the first 3 rides.

[SunLrider]

i should really start wearing boots, a week ago i rolled the sunl and got the foot peg to the ankle and chipped the bone and got back up and rode for a couple of hours before i felt the REAL pain.

[mywifeknowseverythin]

I wear my Regular ol Work boots.....I never ride in Just Shoes....Come to think of it....I only own a pair of Dress Shoes....LOL....I do have a nice pair of Riding Boots for Rain and Snow. Insulated Snow Cross Boots.....I break them out when its raining and I am Riding the Spyder to work or when I go up to Diamond Lake for our Snow Ride....

No pics or vids-Sorry I haven't progressed that far yet.Yes;it was my first time riding big/steep hills with snow/ice/slush mixture.Both times rolling I didn't have enough momentum to get all the way up and then it caught a tree root and either grabbed traction or shot me sideways in a dugout type trail.The first time I tried to ride backwards down the hill but it got sideways and rolled over me.I think that's when my ribs got hurt when the handlebars stabbed me rolling sideways.The second time it died(I think I might've used too much rear brake going down a hill and killed it)then the wheels locked up and I bailed but it kinda got me that time too.Then after I got stuck and covered with mud I started hurting after I tried to lift the rear out of a mudhole.I said I was gonna call it a day and started back to the truck.I had to go up a hill with almost no runnout space before the hill started.The rear tires caught a root and sent it to 12 o clock and then back over top of me.That was number three;I left the quad in the truck for a couple days after getting home and haven't rode since.I think I'm gonna get some gear before I get back on the horse.
