Alpinestars....like everyone else said, you hurt your feet once and you wont go back...plus it is so much easier on your body when you wear actual riding boots when your jumping.

same here.. like others have implied, youll eventually get boots or wished that you had..

i was pinned to a tree in a downhill rollover.. i thought it would just roll over me when i let it go.. instead we both slid(on my back) into a tree and it perfectly trapped a tree between the right side wheels. the peg was pressed hard enough into my ankle that it tore into the thors i had on at the time..

i was trapped with the full weight of the quad on me and one leg immobilized.
glad i wasnt alone..

alpinestar tech 6 boots. all you guys wearing tennis shoes, just wait tillyour foot slips off teh peg and under the rear tire, you wont go back to tennis shoes again.

Alpinestar Tech 8's broke my foot wearing sneekers one time from then on will only ride with real riding boots. And the Tech 8's feel just like wearing sneekers:D


Bought the Thor cheep boots first but after buying a "good" pair of boots I would recomend spending the money on the top of the line ones MUCH better feel!

alpine stars M4, these are great boots, you don need the techs for atv, those are designed for bikes, cause you are with your foot exposed, there are also one from axo that has 3 belts(?) those are designed for atv also.

it is insane not to ride with boots, you can but if your just at slow speed, for riding, mx, xc or other hard racing its a must. you never know.

no sean locos y ponganse botas.

better than a limp ***** cat.

i dont get it some times, i was reading the tread about laws, in all quads ther is a stamp that say that you should do ride with protective gear, no alcohol etc.

better be safe.
