Question what special protective gear do you use?

besides the helmet, gloves was wondering what special gear
other riders use?
like when you trying a new stunt or pushing your limits, knowing you are going to go down!

and if you have links to where i can get the gear?

thanks

kneepads/shinguards are nice.. a little *****, but hey, they're your legs... I rock motocross ones by 'FLY'. Comfy and strong... I actually got used to them, and they keep my legs just warm enough at night.

Re: what special protective gear do you use?

I have an older 661 armor jacket that looks like the one Teach posted. I also just picked up a pair of Fox knee/shin guards for 12 bux from here that saved me a couple times already .... And always a brain bucket cuz I like scraping it....

I hate road rash

Re: what special protective gear do you use?

i just got a set of fox racing comp elbow guards, and a pair of sixsixone moto-lite shin guards. I have a stuntragz back protector, but havent worn it lol. Other than that, its either my icon or hjc helmet, and a pair of speedrag gloves, or a old beat up pair of dirtbike gloves.

a leather jacket? whats that?

Re: what special protective gear do you use?

Helmet, MX gloves, jeans for hittin the highway and muckin around!

When i get serious about learnin new stuff: Fox MX elbow guards under the leather jacket and MX knee guards/protectors under my jeans.

But i am seriously thinking about gettin some burly knee braces after my last accident jacked my knee up and it still hurts!
