Dirt bike riders. Any websites that are good for discount gear?

I have nothing and haven't ridden offroad before. Sure I'll need helmet, chest/back protector, elbow/knee protection, boots, gloves. Just for exploring the mountains for now, nothing technical, just need to learn to crash and survive it.

 

We have aspens in the foyer.


I'm not sure they will stay long

 

The aspens would look good in a kids room, I agree with you they aren't the best thing in a foyer.

 

What height and weight are you? I have all of that, hardly used that I'll be bringing home with me next week from WA
Helmet, boots, chest protector, neck protector, pants and long sleeve shirt, shin/knee guards. I'll get sizes once I get to my storage later this weekend.

 

Craigslist.
All.
Day.
Long.

 

He needs this so @kashtyaatsi and I can get him out riding

 

If you don’t wanna spend a lot of money now. Start with a good helmet (dot minimum, snel approved wound be better) since your talking basic fire roads if you keep your speed lower, you’ll be fine with jeans, long sleeve shirt, and over the ankle hiking/work boots.

If you really enjoy riding and wanna go faster then graduate up to dualsport boots ( will be able to walk better than mx boots) then other gear

Stop by a dealer to try helmets

 

@odomandr you said ya got the lca bushings pressed out with heat and the stock bottle jack?

 

And PURE hate

 

6ft 165... Lanky status

 

Can't remember what size helmets i had before, thinking medium.

And I'd rather have gear than jeans and a shirt

 

I'll get you more details of sizes either tomorrow of the following day once I start packing up
Can't remember if the helmet is a large or medium, if it's large it def fits smaller like a cuz I don't have a big ol dome

 

i got two to pop out that way the other two I burned out an used an old flat head to scrape clean, then i took the arms and the bushings to a shop with a press and paid to have the last two sleeves pressed out and the bushings in.

 

Fatass

 

I eat like one, but the tapeworm keeps me narrow.

 

I though I was heavy at 148....

 

Every helmate manufacture is slightly different. I think I wore a small but in some was medium.
Then elbo and knee pads is go with riding pants. Chest protector and kneck brace are overkill.

 

yeah if you're 4'

I was barely 140 at 5'11" when I joined 155 in April, came back from deployment in Nov at 170. Consistency and more food was my issue. I ate like 4 times a day deployed haha

 

i weighed more than 148lbs in 7th grade in 1992

 

If I could only have one piece of gear it would be boots. Real boots. MX boots.
I would've broken my ankles so many times without boots.
