Im in need for some new gear soon. I dumped my new bike yesterday about 50mph, and i got some serious road rash. ill get pics later if i can. but i want to get some good gear that has like hard plastic on the arms or something that wont just rip as soon as i go down. Also im looking for a pair of pants that have something like hard plastic or something of the likes so it doesnt shred through. i have boots, just need a good pair of shirt and pants, im not looking to pay a fortune but what do you guys recomend?

i just picked up a 661 chest protector/back brace and it loves the hard impacts and long skids.



as far as jerseys.... they rip.. simple as that.

i think shift has some pretty decent stuff. I think troy lee would be your best bet.

LMAO dude i told ya within the first week didint I? lmao

just look through rockymountainatvmc.com
look at the features of the gear and look for some sort of Protection..

motosport.com i think it is? is ALWAYSSS running specials on gear , helmets tires all sorts fo stuff.. rocy moutain does sometimes too...

for like 80 bucks you can get pants and a jersey and sometimes gloves...

i hear that ARC corona gear is pretty tough and its hella cheap too.

def post some pics tho... i hope you didnt hurt that bike to much :(


youll have to pass it off to me for a week with a full 5 gal gas can so i can make sure shes ok...

oh yea and safe enough for ya too..that might take another week or 2..

haha, they bike is fine believe it or not, its got a chewed up grip, and the hang guard is scuffed. not too bad for flipping about 6-7 times, and its was my big bulky boots, they caught the shifter, and it downshifted into 4th, locked the tire up, and down i went, my body was like a rag doll, and the funny part was, a lady across the street, was planting flowers, and not once did she look up, WTF is up with her?

well, i am going to look around on rockymountain. i was there earlier, and they have probably the best prices on gear.
