Damn I could rebuild my 2 smoker about 20-25 times for that price.. I guess it's all worth it tho

[@HybridEdits]

If i had all this gear i would never be scared to hit a tree going 50 through the woods lol.

[@marvinb4926]

HybridEdits i would Because it’s just there to protect you against roost etc. Look at the g-forces When you raced against a tree once you won’t do it again

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Thanks for watching!

[@adamphelps3859]

Great video! Concise, high quality info!

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Thanks Adam glad you enjoyed it!!

[@hardworkingamerican8847]

What about wearing knee protection like that for everyday riding or long dual sport trips . Looks to me like they would help in a variety of bad situations . I for one want all the armor I can handle . I like my legs arms feet face head hands back chest neck etc.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Yes, we wear knee protection every time we ride. Mobius or PODD are our two favorite. And your doctor can prescribe them as preventative medical devices! - Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

[@muted8403]

Well I don't know if this is smart because I think I would put the chest protector under the shirt

[@chaparralmotorsports]

It can be worn both ways. It's personal preference, either way is acceptable. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@bradwestgerdes1878]

Hunter Farrer I wear my chest protector under my jersey so it stays clean

[@nascarnate326]

Love these videos!

[@chaparralmotorsports]

+nascarnate326 Thanks Nate!

[@ChucksWet]

No elbow/ arm protection??

[@madmaxracing5788]

They cause arm pump

[@maxdad05]

the bodys inability to remove blood from the vessels in the forearm causes arm pump, often alleviated with a good cardio regimine, cheap elbow guards will feel tight against swollen muscles, and may cause irritation for the remainder of the moto, or ride, but a broken elbow is forever

[@madmaxracing5788]

maxdad05 i broke my elbow wearing elbow guards. so dont say they prevent it

[@maxdad05]

i never said prevent, and they STILL do not CAUSE arm pump. i am healing from an elbow injury from the beginning of the season, it probably would not have been so bad had i worn mine, def would have had a lot less stitches

[@madmaxracing5788]

maxdad05 i used to get bad armpump when i wore elbow guards. after i stopped wearing them i stopped getting arm pump

[@kadegeddes4879]

What about the leatt dual axis knee guard

[@jeremiahpedro2597]

Should i buy these even if I don't race

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Of course! This is just a recommendation but can be worn at any level. It's showcasing what you get in premium gear.

[@todsfam5732]

This is very nice I want to get it

[@syahrial7758]

What about protect arm?!

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Hello, thanks for watching our video, there are a lot of option for arm protection, we like the Leatt 3DF 5.0 Elbow Guards. www.chapmoto.com/leatt-3df-5-0-elbow-guards-parent-3007501940036 You can see all our elbow guards here: www.chapmoto.com/elbow-guards

[@remingtonbyrd9112]

dose the atlas neck brace work will the chest protector?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

With the chest protector you see in this video, yes it does.

[@eric6rock]

I would just get a Bell moto 9 flex, 100% Accuri, Alpinestars gear and tech 7s.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Thanks for your comment eric6rock. We all have different preferences. Great gear selection. Ride safe out there! - Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

[@tnkawigirlutv8662]

Nice gear

[@chaparralmotorsports]

These were some of our favorites! Thanks for watching and for the comment Donna!

[@turtlewax653]

I went looking for the virus co4 on the website and came up empty handed. Am I so late to the party that it's been discontinued?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Yes the Co4 has been discontinued. However Virus has the Vmoto sleeveless shirt that is available and we have it in stock. www.chaparral-racing.com/product/virus-vmoto-stay-cool-compression-tank-top/695-sc111311-blk-xs.aspx

[@Fuegos93-it]

Nice!I have the mobius x8 yet :P very good knee braces!Now I'm looking for boots...I never try Gaerne,currently I have The Alpinestar tech 8....so I have to try both to decide! Nice video! From Italy #467

[@chaparralmotorsports]

+Fuegos The Gaerne's are defiantly a favorite over here, they're awesome boots! Thanks for watching and for the kind words! -Matt

[@aidenroggero446]

The neck brace and boots are worth more than my bike

[@jimmynugget8484]

Has you heard or seen the RXR Protect

[@chaparralmotorsports]

+Dakota Bender We've heard of it, awesome concept and technology. However, we're not carrying it at this time.

[@jimmynugget8484]

I love it. Its so good protection

[@aleneskikalashnikova4570]

Is there's no need for arm and elbows protectors.? Thanks.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Hi there! FullthrottleJohnny14 had the same question. See the response below. Thanks!!

[@deadeyenic6833]

Most people dont use them but i prefer a full body armour

[@maxdad05]

i didn't wear my elbow guards the last time i rode, that may be the last time i ever ride. with surgery scheduled after I'm off the blood thinners, ill visit the neurologist soon to try to determine why my hand is still numb after 4+ months. my elbow struck first, and forced my shoulder out. wear elbow guards

[@perspers29]

Why do we need neck braces? What is the purpose of that?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Neck braces can help prevent major neck and spine injury. Preventing hyperflexion (forward), hyperextension (backwards), Lateral (side to side) and axial compression (impact from the top).

[@perspers29]

Chaparral Motorsports Do i need it? Because I only ride and trail only not racing. Just asking :) BTW thank you.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

That's totally up to you. A crash can happen on the trail or on the track. If you're doing single track, slow speed trail riding, then probably not. Blazing through the open desert, I'd probably recommend one lol. Every piece of gear you put on is to prevent injury of course and keep us riding safe. So I leave that decision up to you my friend :) We're here to show you the good stuff lol

[@perspers29]

Thanks! :)

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Anytime!! Thanks for watching and commenting :D

[@kadegeddes4879]

What's the best budget knee brace/guard

[@chaparralmotorsports]

+Kade Geddes I would say the best bang for your buck in the knee brace category would be the EVS SX01 knee brace. Often times a knee pad with hinges can lead to believe that it qualifies as a brace, but they can lack the structure that a brace requires.

[@kadegeddes4879]

What is the best cheap neck brace

[@awera2327]

leatt gpx 4.

[@madmaxracing5788]

Atlas

[@maxwelloregan8463]

Hey, im starting to get into dirtbiking pretty seriously. I went to my local shop and tried on some gear. Im 6'4 190, im a 36 inch waist, so i tried on so.e 36 inch pants... with my long legs, the pant only went to my shin. I tried on a 38, waist was too big but ratcheting system held them on ok, they were proper length, but the legs were really wide. Is there any place i can customize pants? Or any specific brands? Thank you.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

It has been about a year now since you posted this comment... How has your Year of Pretty Serious Dirt Bike Riding gone? What are your takeaways? We'd love to hear your feedback. - Kyle

[@rosalucas5709]

Does the gear count as a halloween costume?

[@wyattdean5192]

Rosa Lucas if you don't ride get out of here kid and no well kinda but that's up to you

[@justinscott3999]

Since i'm not an expert rider i will still buy these, I Don't Give A Fuck

[@chrissagredo7129]

Justin Scott safety is always a sound investment! If nothing else aside from the basic helmet and boots, go with knee braces. Surprised people don't make those investments more

[@destefano626]

What about elbow pads

[@chaparralmotorsports]

That's a great question. At the time this video was made, we couldn't find an elbow guard the really got us excited and that was comfortable enough to brag about, so we left that up to the viewer to decide. However, Leatt has since released an elbow guard that we definitely would have included in this video. Its called the Leatt Airflex elbow and also offered in a knee guard as well. Here's a link so you can check it out! www.chaparral-racing.com/product/leatt-airflex-elbow-guards/3007-5015400260.aspx

[@kadegeddes4879]

How good is the fox Titan pro?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

+Kade Geddes If you're looking for just impact protection, then the Titan Pro is very good option. The pivot system works well and then have a great design. With that being said, they are not a substitute for a knee brace.

[@fazereboot9421]

I have every thang for dirt bike just need a go pro

[@khakimzhanmiras]

expert or beginner, don't cheap out on boots and helmet.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Well said!

[@cancer8996]

Wish i had this before i destroyed my knee and arms

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Bummer Rmz. Good news is that new protective gear is being released yearly. Better and less cumbersome. We love progress. Hope you are well. Thanks for watching.

[@madmaxracing5788]

I still prefer fox gear, boots, vest, helmet

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Also another great option. These were just our opinion of what our team liked best. There's a lot of great gear these days and can definitely make the decision a little harder. Thanks for the comment!

[@maxdad05]

fox is pure marketing hype, their helmets are nothing more than an HJC w/ better graphics. when you finally decide to buy "better" gear, you'll find it is money well spent

[@madmaxracing5788]

maxdad05 bro ive owned a 6d helmet, bell moto 9 flex and the fox beats them all. And their boots have lasted longer than my old tech 10's and sidi crossfire 2's, and their gear has a better fit on me than most gear and doesnt wear out as quickly

[@maxdad05]

the simple fact that you referred to me as "bro" means your lying

[@madmaxracing5788]

maxdad05 nah its just how i talk. im part kiwi so its normal in a way

[@C.m44]

Or buy a bike... 😂

[@slime_dropz_bodies1113]

I'm spending 800 dollars of gear at fox

[@bondomingo6837]

Gamingtherightway here in Philippines it's only $80 fox 180 jersey set

[@cikalawandano4926]

keren kali

[@tater6253]

so all of this will cost 3048 dollars

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. This video was shot in 2016 so the total price may have changed. Some of these products may not be deeply discounted or discontinued.

[@ethanvanover9361]

Knee braces cost as much as my bike lol

[@chaparralmotorsports]

They are pretty expensive... but they work!

[@MerlinMoorlo]

i think every girl can do double blackflip with this equipment

[@chaparralmotorsports]

uhhh..? ok?

[@twistedhunter4343]

and here i have this 20 bucks helmet lol thats about it

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Better step it up!

[@twistedhunter4343]

@@chaparralmotorsports yeah i think so cuz i started riding for the first time 2 days ago and i got suzuki rm 250 2 stroke and almost died today😤

[@OGTroll]

600$ for knee brace your kidding right

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Hi ITz, There are plenty of less expensive options available. Keep in mind though that pricing with something like a knee brace is often based on build materials/component composition, weight, the ability to customize the the fit and flex of the knee brace to fit your specific needs, and many other factors. So you can get a basic knee brace that might be a bit heavy or bulky, and doesn't offer a lot of options or rebuildable components. Or you can spend a lot more money and go for a light weight knee brace that can be fine tuned to your body/riding style, offers more rebuildable components, and offers a lot of options or even more protection. It all comes down to what you feel is best for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@drbloo8061]

Would be cheaper to break a knee lol

[@FilthyFilmss]

ITz pally and that's the type of nee brace there's one for 15$ but there just cheap shit and there not protective

[@trevorstephens4771]

I'd rather pay $600 for knee braces before a $6,000 knee surgery

[@RideRedRacer]

Cody you must be a kid that doesnt work. no way in hell breaking a knee and not working for half a year is cheaper.....

[@kodikardash6841]

Wow can't beleive how much you can pay for gear. I guess no price can buy your life back !

[@ChamberSix.]

Yikes i don't know what I'm going to do because I am spending my money on a 125cc bike and I won't have money to get good gear, not even fox or anyone

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Every brand has gear at different price points to fit everyone's budget. The 3 videos we did in this series was to give a starting point for every level and was based on opinion as there are many choices. Fox has great gear at lower price points and so do a lot of other brands.

[@thomaspike1561]

Why would an expert rider want to wear steel toe cap boots with a sewn sole? These boots are awful

[@RideRedRacer]

do you have them? i heard they're some of the best

[@lauraschlenker4743]

Tom Pike these are the best boots made in my opinion, I wear the same boot and they are amazing.

[@C.m44]

Lol ur spending the money on gear although u could buy a bike for the same price!

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Unfortunately this is an expensive sport and its constantly evolving. As far as bikes go, even the 50cc bikes are expensive these days.

[@C.m44]

+Chaparral Motorsports I totally agree and btw great vid I really enjoyed it!

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Hey thanks!

[@JC-gy5bh]

no wrist protection?
