I am workin on wheelies in first around 20 mph. Im always wearin my helmet, jacket, and gloves. I usualy have on jeans and tennis shoes. will the jeans and shoes hold up if i go down? what are you guys wearin to protect your legs and feet at that speed???
thanks

 

lol @ tuck and roll BAHAHAH yeah tell that to the cars going 40 behind u...the jeans will tear, and ur shoes will more than likely get fked up, but its still alot better than wearing shorts and flip flops.

 

I always wear leathers under my jeans(doesn't look as stupid).
I went down at about 50 mph from a ****ed up wheelie and was just wearin jeans and etnies ,the shoes held up tryin to run out of it but the jeans tore instantly and I ****ed up my knees.Couldn't walk for 3 weeks. Now I never stunt without my leathers.They take almost anything I throw at em.

 

I read that jeans last about 4' when falling at 50 mph or so. I always wear boots...gym shoes are the 1st thing to fly off when tumbling down the tarmac. Boots help from rolling ur ankle if you have to hop off.

 

ya, boots. Especially when you start mating your feet with your sprockets, boots are always better than sneaks. Also it's real easy for sneakers to fly off, especially skate type shoes like etnies or my globes. Boots aren't going to go flying and will stay on, = no road rash on the bottom of your feet.

And jeans are better than shorts, but not much, but I think they make special riding jeans that are reinforced and stuff and will last longer.

 

Well...I was wearing Etnies, my brother was wearing Globes. Both of us lost a shoe during our wrecks. And my jeans lasted about 3 seconds, my brothers about 2. If you're stunting, wear more than just jeans and sneakers if you actually want protection for your lower body.

 

sometimes jeans but normally i wear the armored Blazer riding pants.

always helmet and gloves to

 

I wear 2 pair of pants (pajama and jeans), leather and helmet of course. But when it gets HOT I usually wear Ts and jeans

 

thanx for the help
