I came across an old pair of riding boots in my shed; these were probably my first pair of riding boots I ever bought. Probably from 1980 witch makes them 30 years old. (Made by Hallman) they still have some old dirt on them from back in the day.
Ahhhhh…. The memories!!

The boots are so dry rotted that if I try to open them up to put my foot in they start cracking. They were covered in spider webs so there’s no telling what is living those things. I think I still have that helmet in the pic somewhere, I think I saw it awhile back when I was digging around. I think it’s a bell moto III but not sure. As for the jersey I know it’s long gone by now.

It was fun finding the boots though.
