Absolutely agree with the spandex. Those are typically the XC racers and from experience, they tend to be pricks.

[@jasonallen29]

Handup's button up shirts are my absolute favorite shirts in my wardrobe. Love all of their stuff.

[@jonathanmatthews4774]

Calling it now. Bobo in spandex will be the next video that goes up.

[@rubbersidedown5620]

I definitely recommend the chest protectors from Alpinestars. I've got the A-10 and it's awesome because it doesn't have that fishnetting that all other MTB armour seems to have that makes you get crazy hot when you ride so even in the summer the A-10 never made me overheat. The added bonus is it has hard plastic protectors for your ribs which I've not seen on other MTB armour.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

I love my A-4 🤘

[@eve-llblyat2576]

you can get the leatt with or without the fishnetting. Same for Fox. But recomennt to have a light one for trails and heavy duty for park. You cant over heat if you have a lift.

[@Flyingsquirrel-Productions]

Bobo always has a funny video I can watch

[@pwn3d_d1rt]

Wrangler makes these stretchy pants and shorts (not jean material) that someone recommended to me a couple years ago and ive been riding in them ever since... they even look like DH pants or Enduro shorts when padded up! I also have alpinestars armored shorts which are super comfy

[@eve-llblyat2576]

never ever ride in a jeans. dont know the wrangler ones. But many brands have jeans for biking. they have a water resistant bielastic special texture. The dont get sweaty and hot.

[@51249ca]

Shorts ALL year round. Gloves all year round (full finger preferred, or 3/4 gloves if you can find them). Waterproof (Endura) socks. Long soccer socks, wool socks. Club Ride wear shirts are pretty cool

[@dadventuretv2538]

Dharco- coolest shirts out there. Aussie company with a surfer vibe. Ride Concepts Vice mid or lower- have a sticky waffle sole like vans so the pins sit in the holes, but a stiff sole for pedaling. And look super cool.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Dharco is pretty sweet 🤘

[@inx1252]

I like my spandex collection, yet will always wear black, blue or red for the bottoms on the MTB.

[@Mtbdrumrunner]

Awesome job BOBO! My best friend just got a mountain bike, we're three rides in, your video is perfect for his noob needs! Love the editing man, much respect and appreciation on the detail! You rock man, BOBO Idol of KZbin🤘, see you on the trails

[@jltrack]

I’m not a brand loyalist but Specialized make the most comfy cycling pants and shorts I’ve ever worn. Jerseys, get whatever’s on sale honestly.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

[@Bdzynes]

Now that the unimportant gear is done....what about the BEER carrier bag?

[@MTB_Sendsei]

Spandex under the baggies, maybe? I personally like Cognative MTB gear. Comfy, stylish and now they have a button-down stretchy jersey with a hidden pocket that can be worn outside the trails without majority of the public knowing it is a cycling jersey. It even has a collar so you can pop it like the big pimp ya are, Bobo. 🤘🏽

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Lol, I dig cognitive too 🤘

[@alhypo]

I like Endura shorts and pants. They have the padded liners that click into the waistband of the shorts/pants making them work as a single, integrated unit. I don't like the feeling of my shorts shifting and sliding around against the liner. But you can still remove the liner and swap it out which is nice if you are riding multiple days in a row. You can re-wear the shorts without washing them but still have a fresh liner. But Endura stuff is definitely in the premium price range (unless you grab end-of-season clearance stuff). But for helmets, I'm 100% dedicated to the TLD Stage. I don't even own a 3/4 shell anymore. I just wear the full-face Stage for all my rides. It's so light and balanced, it just doesn't even feel like a full-face. And why not just wear a full-face all the time? You can eat dirt on any trail at any time.

[@adamweb]

I used to think $165 was outrageous for shoes then I got old and discovered road biking ☠

Crank makes some sick looking jerseys and button ips that will look rad with some adaidas soccer shorts with the double white stripes.

Give Zoic shorts a try. Less expensive than a lot of other brands. Have some Fox and Pearl Izumi shorts, and the Zoic compare well with them at probably half the price.

Went to Ripton's Website and their waist to inseam ratio is too short for me. But I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam so I am tall but a 28" inseam just seams super short. I like what they are putting out though.

[@Balecart]

I only ever ride with a ghillie suit as it covers the same criteria as spandex but works better than spandex as you can’t see me

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

😂

[@ohiomoto]

Beginners should start with anything from Target that isn't cotton. They can move to spandex after their soccer shorts get caught on their seat and they go OTB. Once they learn how to use their dropper post, they can follow your guide which is perfect for those who want to maintain credit card debt. If they grow up and start a family, they will end up at Target buying diapers. That's when they will realize those soccer shorts and cheap tops are actually perfect for MTB riding. #fullcircle

[@DexterGoneWild]

Any reason you prefer recording at a higher framerate? I know its easier to grab stills from, but makes the footage very choppy. Try 30fps at 1/60 shutter! That's how you get that professional quality motion blur that you see in the movies! Very pleasing to watch! (24fps at 1/50 shutter is the other option video guys love). Also, I agree with the Troy Lee fit. Def my favorite main stream brand! Cant find some of their dope jerseys for cheap too.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

I don’t record at a higher frame rate, I am either in 24 or 30 frames a second most the time unless it’s B roll and then I do like to jump to around 120 frames a second. What part of the video are you referencing in terms of the stutter effect? I haven’t noticed anything like that on my end.

[@DexterGoneWild]

@BIKINGWITHBOBO Strange. Can't see the motion blur at all. It's like it's very digital. Both viewing on my phone and home computer 🤔 Are the export settings set to match the 24 or 30fps?

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

@@DexterGoneWild yup, are you saying the whole video looks like this?

[@DexterGoneWild]

@BIKINGWITHBOBO it's mainly noticeable when you're making quick movements. Like the dancing and arm gestures. It could just be because it's so darn high quality that YT is processing weird lol That's probably it. Means I've been watching too many 1080p videos and not enough 4k!

[@mtbboy1993]

3:39 Ride Concepts has much better toe protection. But so far I've not tried any shoes that are actually my size, 11cm wide 42 length. I use 44. I wear Ride Cocept Tallac in the summer for breathability, only con with them is they make clack clack sounds when walking. TNT for spring, autumn, winter when it's not wet snow, rain and puddles. 4:38 Freerider is awful, it's too flexy, lacks damping, where as Ride Concepts has a proper mid sole but so does Five Ten Trailcross, I have the GTX version, but the toe protection is awful. I've not tried the new Endura MT500 waterproof shoes yet, but will when they get in stock. The Northface Multicross GTX have a nice design, proper toe protection too, but the sole is absurdly stiff, so horrible to walk in, barely any flex up wards. But they are insulated, I'm sure I could ride n -20C if I wanted to. But it does not get that cold here, But they did well in -10C did not need second pair of wool socks. But ankle, heel area was unusually roomy, so too big for me in the rear, and that was with ankle braces. But gaiter fit with Space Brace 2. But without it's too roomy. They rear of the shoes were so roomy I needed the braces to use them. but I need 44 for the width. But not tried a smaller size, but don't think I can use that.

[@jrclark222]

This should be titled “what wannabe downhillers should wear”. I’ve been riding mtb since the 90’s and I’ve seen fashion come and go. Today it’s “look like an ipa drinker from Portland” out on the trails. I especially enjoy it when riders show up at xc trails in full pads. With their baggy clothes. Like bro, what do you think these trails are? Personally as an xc guy (and racer), I’ve always worn spandex. It works and you don’t even know it’s there. The last thing I need is for baggy, loose clothing to bunch up or get caught on something at an in opportune moment. Wear what you want but I’ll stick with what works and let others worry about fashion.

[@rykerthestryker777]

[@dudeonbike800]

Or many of us riding hot climates and adhering to "form follows function," there's definite utility in "spandex." Lycra cycling gear simply works. The pros don't wear it to make any sort of fashion statement - it's function first and foremost. Hammering for four to six hours in the heat is conducive to more breathable clothing. For those of us who run a warm thermostat, Lycra is awesome. And to be honest, I'm kinda sick of the society-wide shaming of the male figure. Never liked the whole "junk" moniker for male bits. (Even though I do appreciate the humor & good-natured ribbing, etc.) Women are complimented on their form, men are shamed for theirs. This is not only lame, but totally gender prejudice. Pretty lame to denigrate half of the species, whose "parts" are responsible for our continued survival.
