How to Choose the Proper Dirt Bike Riding Gear - Safety is KEY!!!

[@TR-zn4pw]

I personally think neck braces are a necessity. I would much rather break my collar bone than get paralized or die from a broken neck.

[@TheMxFactory]

True that.

[@daxxbender6568]

[@aydenswift6327]

@@daxxbender6568 no way I just found this

[@stickvortex]

Unfortunately I have a crooked collarbone thats higher on one side than the other. A result of a previous crash on the street. (I never got it plated for some reason, I’m not sure why cause I should have) Anyway the point is that I have a neck brace and it just doesn’t fit right, cause it rests on the bump in my collarbone.

[@RodNeufeld]

I didn't have boots when I first got my bike and I was riding trails and tried to change direction onto another trail. I did not have enough momentum to get up and over the little hill between the trails. I was not moving but I could not react the ground at that point and by the time I could reach the ground I could no longer stop the falling of the bike. She is a big Ktm 690 (sorry I don't ride motocross lol) Anyway the back handle on the bike went down the back of my leg. I thought I was fine, a little sore but good. Rode all day. I had 3 nights where sleep was difficult and my leg was purple from mid calf to heel. This went away and there was a large scab area and the pain was gone. I continued riding for 2 months and no problem. Then one day I noticed that the scab was looking really bad and I got it looked at and treated daily. With in a week I was in the hospital wondering if I would lose my leg or worse! I found out that the injury had caused the skin and stuff to pull away from the blood supply which resulted in necrotizing fasciitis. (Flesh eating disease) to set in. Hospital for 3 days and another week of intravenous antibiotics daily. All in all from injury to a healed massive scar on my leg it was over 6 months of open wound. I wasn't even moving at the time of the injury and if I had proper boots it would never have happened. WEAR ALL THE GEAR, ALL THE TIME!!

[@ggsgaga]

well I hope you are healed up and all good now, that sounded like a horrible experience to go through, also great advice, I once took my Harley for a quick ride around the block and had a kangaroo bounce out in front of me and I ended up super manning over the handlebars, luckily at only doing 60km/h but unluckily I was only in jeans, t-shirt, and sandshoes nothing else no helmet no boots, it was the last time I be that stupid when riding

[@RodNeufeld]

@@ggsgaga yes all healed up now! Good to hear you made it through your mistake. It only takes one bad ride without your gear and your life can be changed forever. Ride safe my friend!

[@juniorramirez4956]

Just happen to me at the hospital waiting to get X rays

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I started riding in 74 at the age of 10. Helmet, jeans, shirt and tennis shoes. My Dad told me to wear my hiking boot, but what did he know? Not many Dads rode back then, till we grew up. But a beer truck driver told me he used to race TT races, and I should wear some boots. I was good for about 10 years, noting but bumps and scrapes. Then I raced MX for 10 years and got banged up a bit more, (riding gear then). But as far as hospital work, that only happened twice. Broken arm and a broke foot that I let heal by itself, (in between jobs, no insurance.) It still works good. Today, it is not the injury as much as it is finding a good Doctor who knows the best thing to do. They often mess things up today, and things often get worse. Government run healthcare, and kids who think they know it all,---at your service.

Back in the day when I drove motocross in Finland, it was required on all tracks to use every single safety gear you listed, and also elbow protection and a kidney belt.

As soon as I see the words, "Safety is key", I reject the baby sitter. You should do the same. All I need to do is look at my options, and think about it. Mobility is safety too. Being able to feel the foot controls is safety too. In fact, I have learned that not letting people tell me what my biggest factor is, is usually safer too. I reject the baby sitter! :)

Great vid as always. I just started and bought everything new, but entry-level. Snell HJC helmet on sale, Tech 1's, 100% Accuri's Fox chest, knee, elbow armour, Shot pants etc. - decent to get going but didn't break the bank - all-in for around $500 new. I do have a neck brace that was expensive ($350) but had that already. For sure, wear the right stuff - hospitals are more expensive then gear. One day I'll get proper knee braces but they are uber expensive and I'm not going that hard yet.

Everytime I fall (which is alot) I am glad I spent the money to be outfitted properly. Father's who have young kids starting out need to make sure their kids wear *all* of their pads *and* boots. And set an example and wear your gear too. No matter how hot it is, wear it for them. Also buy your kids hockey shoulder pads. You can find them for less than half the price of the dirt bike brands. My sons pads have D30 in them and they were only $25. The Fox ones are $40.

Is this good for off road riding as well. Btw i haven’t watched the whole video so don’t get mad if it’s already in yhere

[@alecm9936]

If you don’t ride extreme or are taking big jumps, going for time, etc. you don’t need all the gear. If you ride super hard off roading than you should have lot’s of protection but if it’s easier/slower riding with less hazards than all the equipment is not necessary. Mostly if you have a helmet, some good boots of some kind, and some clothes to not get scratched and burned, its mostly fine.

[@alaynafolk4994]

i mean.. it's up to you. it's best to wear the proper gear. i have some easy trails behind my house and i just put on my boots, chest protector, helmet, goggles and gloves. next thing i know i hit a rock and it threw me off the bike and i skidded on my knee for 20ft. it's been 2 months since the crash and my knee is still kinda messed up. and i tore my fingernail off during the crash. hurt like a son of a bitch. hit my head and got a minor concussion, and when i sat up.. i thought my knee was broken. then a week and a half later i but on my riding pants and knee pads, boots, gloves, chest protector, goggles, and helmet thinking i would be fine with just that. i have a little uphill double in my trails and hit it next thing i know i fly over the bars. did a superman onto my belly and slid 10 feet. scrapped my arms all up, now have scars, and scrapped my belly up from when my t- shirt flew up. also hit my head again pretty hard. anymore i learned to wear all my gear. boots, pants, knee pads, shirt, elbow pads, gloves, goggles, helmet, chest protector, and neck brace.

[@classicalcubing7194]

I would still strongly recommend to wear all of the gear you can. You can get very very hurt even going slow.

[@ImTheDeedz]

I also recommend wrist brace cause a natural reaction is hands out first and it’s not going to be fun if you got a broken wrist or sprained.

[@alantaylor6691]

I thought that too.

[@fetterscorpion3382]

The braces are for hyperextensions. but what if you fall? You automatically straighten your palms to catch yourself. However, the braces limit the movement in hyperextension, so in this example you would break your fingers rather than your wrist. Do you understand what I mean ?

[@chrisbautista1089]

Is it ok if I use steel toe boots because I don’t have the money for dirt bike boots and I’m just starting out

[@hibob841]

With regard to chest/back protection, it's worth making the distinction between the basic, plastic "roost deflector" and actual CE armor that is rated for impact protection (level II, preferably). If you can afford it, get the latter (but as always, anything is better than nothing). I wear a Leatt mesh jacket that has CE Protection for the chest, back, shoulders and elbows. The stretchy mesh keeps the armor where it's needed. It also has a slot in the back that a Leatt neck brace will slide into...that way pressure from the neck brace is distributed across the back protector and that'll *hopefully* prevent the back injury you suffered (sorry, BTW). It's all about building a coherent system that distributes forces over as wide an area as possible, and vectors them in ways that avoid or minimize injury. For instance, MX boots will protect your foot and ankle from impacts or bending in ways they shouldn't, but the force is then going to go to your knee which is only designed to bend in one direction. Knee braces help ensure that happens, and transfer forces to your hip which *can* rotate. I wear separate knee pads (with straps) even on the street. Yeah, my ADV pants have them built-in, but they're just sort of "floating" and I have no confidence they'd actually be where I need them in the event of a crash.
