Hey man, I really like your videos! I am a 13 year old and i've been riding for about 9 months now. Ever since I was 7, I wanted a dirt bike. I asked for one every christmas, every birthday, and I finally got one. I knew how to drive manual before I even sat on a dirtbike, and my dad got an 1990's yamaha RT100 two stroke. The day we bought it, I had no gear except for a bicycle helmet, bike gloves and glasses. I tought myself that night then and there how to ride a dirtbike. And I have to say, You've tought me some stuff I dont know. Your videos cost me 1000$ less than i wouldnt had to pay for. Now I race motocross on my RM85 race bike, and after watching your tutorials it runs better than ever. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the video. I am getting back into riding again. Instead of me going completely off road I bought a dual sport. I am slowly getting my gear together. Helmet and goggles was the first and on the way is boots armor and pants. Looking forward to see more of your videos. Thanks again
Great video man that's good advice. Knee braces are next on my list too, forgot my knee pads at home one day and went riding anyway and ended up going down on sand when I whipped the bike around and bumped my knee cap into the end of my hand guards lol... Hurt for a while and work wasn't too fun for a month or two. Completely agree the best money you can spend in this sport should be on equipment
Enduro Skills I literally have every single piece of riding gear you could imagine… except knee braces. I'm pretty disappointed at how expensive a good pair of knee braces are. They're worth as much as my pit bike! Right now I have no knee protection. I was thinking about getting some cheap ones until I can save up to get the good ones. But that'll just set me back that much more and I don't have the best job so I don't make the most money.
keep asking bro, parents can be persuaded! also try to get some part time job and get some $ together, if they see your effort they will be motivated to get one for you, parents like to support their kids effort. Good luck
All of the above are a must. If you ride, you WILL fall. Personally I like wearing impact pants as well. Helps the hips thighs and tailbone! Neck brace is a good idea too.
Thank you for the info! I already bought a FOX helmet, goggles, and gloves. Saving up for boots now. I want a Yamaha so my color combo is black, white, and blue.
Great video. I never knew I needed so much gear. I thought a helmet was all I needed. I don't want to take the risk so I'll buy full body gear. Great to see your still active of this 4 year old video.
I recommend getting gear before riding a dirtbike i learned that because my first time i fell downhill and scratched up my arms and stomach and arms luckily i had a helmet and chest piece
Trust me guys, he isn’t kidding about knee guards, that is the only thing I don’t have and I went down 4 weeks ago and tore the meniscus in my right knee. Had to have surgery, then 6 weeks on a brace and 3 month before a full recovery. All time I will not get back this riding season.
I use to wear single elbow pads, kidney belt, chest protector and spine protector but now i just wear the body armor. Much more easier and alot more comfortable
I like your videos and point of view. Thanks for the info. My kids are both wanting to get into the sport and I’m wanting to get back into it. Had a bad wreck when I was younger and if I’d had a knee guard or brace on I may have been able to walk the next day.
I'd recommend paying the extra money on a chest and back protector like fly racing, fox racing, ext it helps a ton when you go over the handle bars and fall on your back or ribs, trust me lol. Spend the extra money
Better to buy the protective gear than to pay the ortho later. I have the fox titan sport jacket and knee/shin guards and I would not ride without it. I've taken a number of spills into rocks etc. and it is nice for the gouges to be on the plastic instead of me. It hotter in the summer but well worth it IMHO.
All I've got is boots and a helmet, I might just buy mx pants and put some more protection on my legs. Every time I wreck I always hurt my legs so I wanna get something strong before I actually get hurt.
My problem with this is that I'm still growing so I don't want to spend 200$+ on boots and knee braces if I'm just gonna grow out of them in 3 months... Right now I wear steel toe military combat boots a helmet Google gloves and basic knee/shin guards. Please help
Logan Hall get things that you can afford at the time of need, upgrade over time once you reach your full body's maturity. Don't go cheep on a helmet your brains aren't replaceable.
Great job my friend. If you can afford a Shoei or Arai helmet, get one. Really anything DOT and SNELL approved. Bell is good too. They used to have an ad, If you have a $5 head, buy a $5 helmet....lol
Alright. I grew up around 4wheelers but never rode a dirt bike. I want to buy one soon. What's the difference in 2-stroke and 4stroke? I weigh 250lbs and I'm about 5'11". Should I get a 450? Being more on the heavy side. Or should I get a 250 bc I'm new. Thanks for everything
+Hannah Johnston 2 stroke is lighter and feels more nimble, less rotating mass. It's cheaper to maintain. It has vibrations and somewhat violent power band. 4 stroke is smooth, good to learn on, very linear power delivery. What about 350 4 stroke? KTM or Husky.
I weigh 105 kg and started on a 250 4-stroke but I never felt a lack of power. 300 or 350 would be good as well, I think. Personally, I prefer 4-strokes because the power delivery is predictable for a novice unlike on two-strokes. If you're worried about maintenance, you can buy a dual sport such as DR-Z400...
250 is cool but after i rode a friends 450 i had to have one wr 450f so much power its up to u but let me tell u 250 did me fine crf 250r it had big bore kit and it did me just fine it felt a gear behind my friends at top speed and acceeration on the 450 is wicked if u shift right.... its almost scary but thats the thrill to me shifting 1st second third fourth each time u let the clutch out and twisting it pulling ahead of u u hold on tighter the air applying resistqnce the front wheel getting lighter until u finally each 5th seconds go by but it feels like minutes u hit high revs on 5th the bike just cant pull no more faster and u let off shifting back down nice and easy shesh thats the feeling i love if u like it then go with a 450 save ur self some time in the future i was raised in a 4 stroke family never rode a 2 stroke above 80CC its been 2 years I know but i wanted to say this ahah
If you turn the fuel crane on, and if the bike in cold,take on the choke. And then you give it one twist of the throttle, and kick it. I imagine it is the same for electric starters
Hey Alex, that would be nice. The only problem is that my English is not clear enough for Google to understand me 100% so I would have to manually rewrite the subtitles. Not sure if I can do that due to lack of time. Sorry bro
Hi im a beginner lady dirt bike rider, do you know if there is pants that has padding? Bcs i tend to sitting down too much so my inner thigh are sore. Or should i change my bike seat into softer material? I rly need expert’s opinion 😊
You mentioned elbow pads but never talked anymore on them, I might have missed it. Do you use them? It seems lots do not but I would think they would be important? Great content!
I have a grandson that is 4 yrs old, my husband just brought him his first dirt bike, and I'm looking for helmet, goggles and gloves, since he is a toddler and wears 4T, looking for shirt and pants, could you suggest where I could go online and get him a set of shirt and pants, and helmet goggles and gloves set/
hi Yolanda, I got kids gear for my boy from Alpinestars, its little more expensive but really good stuff, I got him the protection as well. they have good measurement charts, so you can make sure the sizes are correct. here you go: www.alpinestars.com/products/mx/youth#
I want to get a dirt bike so bad. I live on 90 acres and have open pastures and all kinds of trails on my property. But I feel like as soon as I get a bike, its only a matter of time before I get hurt. My dad is not a fan of me getting a dirt bike either, because he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. What do I do?? Its looks like so much fun, but looks so dangerous.
Casey, that is something you need to get ready for,If you have dirt bike you will go down for sure, it doesn't have to be too bad though. I think dirt bikes are safer than street bikes, you dont have other drivers that will cause your accident, many street bikes accidents are caused by someone else.. this element is way smaller if you ride a dirt bike, also the crash on dirt bike tends to be little softer, you are not hitting pavement or concrete.. take it easy my friend!
I am just getting into the enduro riding. I am a size large. With the protective gear, what sizes should I be looking at to fit properly over the gear mentioned in the vid?
i was riding my dirtbike with a helmet on, and i was driving downhill and i hit a bump that i didn't see because there was a lot of grass and i flew into the air and i almost got crushed by my bike and hit my head on a big stone that was about 4 inches away from my face
knee is sticking out from the bike most of the time.. easy to injure, way more common than broken neck or back.. plus there isnt much you can do about the neck and back.. neck braces are somewhat controversial.. check out current supercross race - how many neck braces do you see? yet each one of them has knee braces..
I'm pretty new to Dirtbikes and I do mostly trail riding, I have a helmet and goggles and I am saving for boots. I just fractured three bones in my foot after a crash. Do you know of any boots that offer good protection for under 200$? Thanks in advance and great vid!
Logan, sorry to hear about your injury, take it easy my friend. Check out Fox Comp5, thats what I have now, or alpinestar tech3 here is the review of my boots: ruclips.net/video/LUZeGndwQZQ/видео.html take care
I'm 5'6" and I'm looking to start riding a 250 bike which is full sized, but on my friends I couldnt touch the floor. Is there ways to get the bike to fit me when i get my own?
once you get the bike first of all set the sag to your weight, then if the bike is still too tall go ahead shave your seat first, then if needed get a lowering kit. dont lower your rear shock by raising the spring up, it would make a big changes to bikes handling, same goes for the forks, dont slide them up in the triple tree too high it would also do big changes to handling. Manufacturer set the correct angles and lengths of the suspension to give you most of stability and traction, while still keeping the bike nimble. You can perhaps move the forks slightly and see what it does to your handling, but dont lower it like 1-2 inches. Once you get the lowering link you would need to slide them up more, to compensate. It would also change the handling, but I think thats less noticeable . here is good video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/OofbKh6BIe0/видео.html good luck!
I just got those same 100% googles for Christmas and with only 1 ride on them in the mud the managed to get scratched to shit. Mabey I'm being a bitch but I didn't expect them to get any deep visible/feeleable scratches. Do you have any issues with yours?
+MrYamaHashi mine are holding up OK, but we don't have a lot of mid in socal. I am pretty sure you can get replacement lens. Perhaps get tearoffs too if you ride a lot in the mud.
I have been dirt biking before and everyone deared me to ride in shorts and t-shirt with no body gear or helmet so I did and I cracked my head open on a tree,, however I am starting dirt biking in my mates back garden as its more like a field, would u recommend me still wearing full body gear and helmet in a garden because I get really hot so would you still wear body gear even if you hot
Hi again, My auntie is very protective and always concerned about my safy when im on a dirt bike as I ride like an idiot apparently and I don't think about the danger,, I do dirt biking i have the body gear but i refuse to wear a helmet but my auntie wont let me on the bike unless i wear the helmet please help i don't know what to do ?
what does it all come to i really want to know i've asked mum for a dirt bike and she said ill have to miss out on my birthday then get it for Christmas but she said i will still need to get a job to save up myself.
Corey, my first dirt bike and gear together was around $1200 $1000 dirt bike $200 gear you can get used stuff from craigslist or ebay its ok for beginning, later replace it one by one by good quality new stuff
I use a good athletic compression shirt under my full body armor, the jersey is too uncomfortable underneath and probably won't fit over the armor. The knee braces should be used over the pants.
Hi I'm new to dirt bike riding, and I have just brought a Pier of thor force knee gards, just wondering if you put them on over your pants or under underneath your pants? Thanks
@@dirtniron hi I just tried the knee pads underneath my pants, and jump on my bike, and when I bend my knees for the gears it's really tight underneath knees! Is this supost to happen? Thanks
This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but I've been riding dirtbikes for 10 years and for some reason I cannot ride with the proper riding boots. It's so uncomfortable and I don't ride as good as I do when I ride with my vans on. I don't know if it's because the boots are cheaper and are rounded instead of pointed at the toe, but I cannot get comfortable with them on.
Same! lol. Been ridin in Vans Sk8 HI's and everyone thinks I'm crazy. Don't like the boots. Don't care for the "protection." I've gone down tons of times. Nothing I couldn't roll from. My feet have literally never been close to being injured.
Patrik, 250 4 stroke has plenty of power but its manageable, I think it will be good bike for you. Take it easy, get use to the power dont twist that throttle too much in the beginning and you should be fine. Good luck
Im thinking of getting a dirt bike but i was born with spina bifida its the worse case of the condition i can walk but i heard its a lot of strain on your back anyone think i should get a dirt bike and which one for a beguinner
Man I am not sure what to answer, I can just tell you that dirt bike riding puts stress on your back, specially lower back. You might want to talked to a doctor. Good luck bro!
@@dirtniron when I roll it forward to see If it come of the top of the helmet goes over my face and does move when I shake it, does that mean its to big then?

+unrotated that's great man! I am glad I could help.thanks for sharing and good luck with your racing !
Two more pieces of gear I'd recommend: gloves and a neck brace. Btw your vids are extremely helpful to me!
Thanks Jacob! Sounds good!
He Said Gloves But I Agree On The Neck Brace Because Than You Don't Get Serious Neck Injuries
He said gloves
neck brace even for trail riding,sand pit?
@Jacob2581 i commute to work. Street and dirt mixed riding. Do i need a neck brace?
Thank you for the video. I am getting back into riding again. Instead of me going completely off road I bought a dual sport. I am slowly getting my gear together. Helmet and goggles was the first and on the way is boots armor and pants. Looking forward to see more of your videos. Thanks again
Right on! Welcome back on two wheels! I bet you will have a great time

same happened to me, knee into handlebars.. it was hurting for quite some time... so after that knee pads all the time!

You deserve more followers
I really want a dirtbike but where I live they are not very popular so my parents are a wee bit sceptical
keep asking bro, parents can be persuaded! also try to get some part time job and get some $ together, if they see your effort they will be motivated to get one for you, parents like to support their kids effort. Good luck
We need to drive atleast 20-30 mins to the nearest track, but if you try the sport before buying anything, you can maybe buy a bike
My parents were the same way when I was a kid. I shopped around on Craigslist for a few days and may be taking home a yz250 Tomorrow afternoon.
Berapa harganya
Daniel Mckell same man but my uncle has two so I am nearly there
Great video i was debating on getting knee braces but it looks like most agree is very important if you can afford it. Cheers Subbed
Thanks man, welcome on board.
All of the above are a must. If you ride, you WILL fall. Personally I like wearing impact pants as well. Helps the hips thighs and tailbone! Neck brace is a good idea too.
thanks for sharing Chris!
I like how you squeeze the helmet like a melon to prove its sturdy.
Lol, give it a tap or too, sounds ripe
Thank you for the info! I already bought a FOX helmet, goggles, and gloves. Saving up for boots now. I want a Yamaha so my color combo is black, white, and blue.
there you go, seems you almost there my friend! good luck with bike purchase
Great video. I never knew I needed so much gear. I thought a helmet was all I needed. I don't want to take the risk so I'll buy full body gear. Great to see your still active of this 4 year old video.
glad you find it helpful, have fun man!
Thank you, wish we had more people like you sharing affordable stuff... Greetings from Dubai
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for supporting chinese off brand rather than the original companies who sunk $$ into R&D.
I changed, this was few years ago.
I recommend getting gear before riding a dirtbike i learned that because my first time i fell downhill and scratched up my arms and stomach and arms luckily i had a helmet and chest piece
thanks for sharing, gear is important!
Thankyou for this man cuz Ik I’m gonna fall but how bad the fall affects my body that is something i can change
Trust me guys, he isn’t kidding about knee guards, that is the only thing I don’t have and I went down 4 weeks ago and tore the meniscus in my right knee. Had to have surgery, then 6 weeks on a brace and 3 month before a full recovery. All time I will not get back this riding season.
Sorry to hear that brother, wish you quick recovery!
I Feel Really Bad For You I Can Only Imagine How Much That Would Have Hurt
I use to wear single elbow pads, kidney belt, chest protector and spine protector but now i just wear the body armor. Much more easier and alot more comfortable
I like armor too, it's easy
I like your videos and point of view. Thanks for the info. My kids are both wanting to get into the sport and I’m wanting to get back into it. Had a bad wreck when I was younger and if I’d had a knee guard or brace on I may have been able to walk the next day.
take it easy bro, make sure to get a lot of protection for kids, they go down a lot. good luck!
Can you do a video on how to change the transmission Fluid on a two stroke dirt bike ?
sure, I can do that!
Just ordered my upper body armor and knee protection on Amazon thanks for the video.
Have fun Travis!
I'd recommend paying the extra money on a chest and back protector like fly racing, fox racing, ext it helps a ton when you go over the handle bars and fall on your back or ribs, trust me lol. Spend the extra money
thanks for the tip
Thanks for the informative movie!
+911RescueDiver welcome, glad it helps!
Better to buy the protective gear than to pay the ortho later. I have the fox titan sport jacket and knee/shin guards and I would not ride without it. I've taken a number of spills into rocks etc. and it is nice for the gouges to be on the plastic instead of me. It hotter in the summer but well worth it IMHO.
sounds good John, thanks for sharing!
Excellent advice sir. Thank you very much!
you are welcome!
Nice video! as always👍🏼
Thanks Erik!
Thx broo its really motivational
All I've got is boots and a helmet, I might just buy mx pants and put some more protection on my legs. Every time I wreck I always hurt my legs so I wanna get something strong before I actually get hurt.
+Nicholstop : knee pads saved my knees many times. Get some for sure.
My problem with this is that I'm still growing so I don't want to spend 200$+ on boots and knee braces if I'm just gonna grow out of them in 3 months... Right now I wear steel toe military combat boots a helmet Google gloves and basic knee/shin guards. Please help
get it all used from craigslist or ebay
Logan Hall get stuff 2 or 3 sizes big I just got tech 5 size 9 and it should last longer and then you will grow in to them
Logan Hall get things that you can afford at the time of need, upgrade over time once you reach your full body's maturity. Don't go cheep on a helmet your brains aren't replaceable.
Logan Hall dude, buy a pair of $100 boots 2 sizes big, they’re so stiff you won’t notice the extra size
Cool Chest protector
Great job my friend. If you can afford a Shoei or Arai helmet, get one. Really anything DOT and SNELL approved. Bell is good too. They used to have an ad, If you have a $5 head, buy a $5 helmet....lol
Thanks for the tips! thats funny ;)

thanks Kathy, I am glad it helps!
Bolt also sells bodyguards too
yea.. any brand is ok ..
Can you show how to start a dirt bike
+Rajesh Patel sure, I will put it on the list.
If you turn the fuel crane on, and if the bike in cold,take on the choke. And then you give it one twist of the throttle, and kick it. I imagine it is the same for electric starters
Thanks for the tips! Definitely subbing
cool, welcome on board!
thank you just bought a helmet and chest piece
Good choice!
Get a good quality chest proctor and neck brace and you only need knee pads if you are riding enduro cus big rocks, on the track not as much
I like ur alpine star boots and Ur helmets also the 100% goggles are so nice
thanks man!
Due you are the best and cool gear
excellent video! yes, spend some money on proper gear versus a pipe!
Great video man. Just go my helmet and other gear today!
+Kapurtakis Exotics great, way to go!
I love your videos man
Thanks bro!
Hey bro could you add Italian subtitles,please? I'm italian and your videos are very useful👍
Hey Alex, that would be nice. The only problem is that my English is not clear enough for Google to understand me 100% so I would have to manually rewrite the subtitles. Not sure if I can do that due to lack of time. Sorry bro
Idk about dirt biking. But why not use visors instead of googles?
Hi im a beginner lady dirt bike rider, do you know if there is pants that has padding? Bcs i tend to sitting down too much so my inner thigh are sore. Or should i change my bike seat into softer material? I rly need expert’s opinion 😊
Soft seat makes more sense, but i would recommend to stand up more 😉. Good luck!
Most times people will drop about $1200 for gear. Better to be protected everywhere possible than getting a hospital bill and time out of work.
yea, definitely protection should be #1 on the list
You mentioned elbow pads but never talked anymore on them, I might have missed it. Do you use them? It seems lots do not but I would think they would be important?
Great content!

very informative video! Keep it up
Black and yellow black and yellow
Do you find those fully body armors to be very hot on warm days?
not really, if its too hot i ride in the armor only, it allows air to flow thru so its not that hot
Awesome! I'll probably pick one up then.
Would you say fly racing goggles are decent? My friend had a pair and I liked them but I’m not sure...
+DontTreadOnMe1776 I think they make decent products.

I am just getting into the enduro riding. I am a size large. With the protective gear, what sizes should I be looking at to fit properly over the gear mentioned in the vid?
XL is safe..
Its been late to buy knee braces.ACL is fucked.But not too late,now i have braces.I wish i bought them earlier(((
sorry to hear that, hope you heal well!
Another excellent video!!!

glad you are ok, take it easy man!
Shin guards??
Where did you buy your knee guards and boots??
shins are in the boots
Knee before neck and back?😟
knee is sticking out from the bike most of the time.. easy to injure, way more common than broken neck or back.. plus there isnt much you can do about the neck and back.. neck braces are somewhat controversial.. check out current supercross race - how many neck braces do you see? yet each one of them has knee braces..

You can perhaps move the forks slightly and see what it does to your handling, but dont lower it like 1-2 inches. Once you get the lowering link you would need to slide them up more, to compensate. It would also change the handling, but I think thats less noticeable .
here is good video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/OofbKh6BIe0/видео.html
good luck!
I just got those same 100% googles for Christmas and with only 1 ride on them in the mud the managed to get scratched to shit. Mabey I'm being a bitch but I didn't expect them to get any deep visible/feeleable scratches.
Do you have any issues with yours?
+MrYamaHashi mine are holding up OK, but we don't have a lot of mid in socal. I am pretty sure you can get replacement lens. Perhaps get tearoffs too if you ride a lot in the mud.

You don't have too, I use regular socks quite often
I have been dirt biking before and everyone deared me to ride in shorts and t-shirt with no body gear or helmet so I did and I cracked my head open on a tree,, however I am starting dirt biking in my mates back garden as its more like a field, would u recommend me still wearing full body gear and helmet in a garden because I get really hot so would you still wear body gear even if you hot
Yeah I would, you don't want to crack open your head second time ;)
how do u know if your helmet fits you safly
ellie wood Pushing on your cheeks so you are almost biting them. You also shouldn’t be able to move around in there :)

Do you recommend putting your armor underneath your jersey/pants or over them?
I use a good athletic compression shirt under my full body armor, the jersey is too uncomfortable underneath and probably won't fit over the armor. The knee braces should be used over the pants.
Hi I'm new to dirt bike riding, and I have just brought a Pier of thor force knee gards, just wondering if you put them on over your pants or under underneath your pants? Thanks
Under the pants. Welcome to the family ;)
@@dirtniron sweet thanks for that😁
@@dirtniron hi I just tried the knee pads underneath my pants, and jump on my bike, and when I bend my knees for the gears it's really tight underneath knees! Is this supost to happen? Thanks
maybe you need bigger pants, I dont feel my knee guards when I ride, go for a ride and see if it bothers you
Either One What Ever Feels More Comfortable
This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but I've been riding dirtbikes for 10 years and for some reason I cannot ride with the proper riding boots. It's so uncomfortable and I don't ride as good as I do when I ride with my vans on. I don't know if it's because the boots are cheaper and are rounded instead of pointed at the toe, but I cannot get comfortable with them on.
it took me some time to get comfortable in the boots. you need to get boots that are soft enough so you can still feel the bike
Thank you for the information. Hopefully I can take that info into consideration when i'm searching for a news pair in the near future.
cora smith hello ...
Same! lol. Been ridin in Vans Sk8 HI's and everyone thinks I'm crazy. Don't like the boots. Don't care for the "protection." I've gone down tons of times. Nothing I couldn't roll from. My feet have literally never been close to being injured.
your link for body armor in amazon comes up with a drink not a chest protector
oh sorry about that
here you go: body armor: amzn.to/2ShO6Sx
vest - chest protector: amzn.to/2yxNmAA
Seeing if he put the link in the desc.
What I see: MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE. Finding Nemo watcher will get it
thank you
welcome :)
hi..i want to start riding 250cc 4 stroke is it to powerfull. i have 50cc moped and i ride it preety good, im 16 and 185cm.
Patrik, 250 4 stroke has plenty of power but its manageable, I think it will be good bike for you. Take it easy, get use to the power dont twist that throttle too much in the beginning and you should be fine. Good luck
thanks for such a quick reply and i really like yorur work.
thanks Patrik, have fun on that 250 and dont hesitate to ask if you need something.
Im thinking of getting a dirt bike but i was born with spina bifida its the worse case of the condition i can walk but i heard its a lot of strain on your back anyone think i should get a dirt bike and which one for a beguinner
Man I am not sure what to answer, I can just tell you that dirt bike riding puts stress on your back, specially lower back. You might want to talked to a doctor. Good luck bro!
Dirt N Iron yeah its a tricky one my bad will do yeah thanks for the advice love the videos man
thanks bro, maybe light adventure/enduro riding would be ok. good luck!
Dirt N Iron cheers yeah maybe ill give my doctor a ring at some point see what they say dude fingers crossed
is body armor also good for street use?
probably
Do u suggest a neck brace?
Sry for spamming u with comments
sure, get one.. it helps
I want that
go for it
I heard that you should a dental mouth guard when riding is it recommended?
I dont do that, I guess its not bad..
Dirt N Iron I hear that people had injuries on their ribs , is there any body protection for that ?
i guess full body armor should help a bit
Kidney brace too!!!!!!
yea, thats a part of body armor i have
iim turning 11 soon, how much would it cost to get average gear and a bike?
+brian payne I think you can start with $1000-1500 if you get some used stuff as well
brian payne be careful tho because you don't want to spend a lot of money on gear and then grow out of it since you're growing
Which boots should I get for enduro? From $180 to $230
I was quite happy with fox comp5 offroad boots, check them out
around $280 you can get Alpinestar tech7 which are very good boots
Dirt N Iron what about the comp r?
Juan Pablo Breton Casares fox comp 5, google it
can any body give me a link for some good quallity boots at a resnable price
All fox boiiiis
Do u where a jearsy over the body armour??
Yes, usually I would have jersey on, but when it's too hot I would do armor only.
AWESOME
Thanks 🤗
What is the best helmet?
hard to answer, there is plenty of good ones
For motocross helmet what are you using for now?
# we are always watching your Videos from Camiuin island Philippines
thanks man! I have fly racing formula for MX
what about a neck brace
+Jayden Boldero I think it's good to have it..
+Dirt N Iron i have a neck brace but its not a realy expensive it about £70
how do u know if you helmet fits properly
put the helmet on and shake your head. does it move? its best if the helmet stay in the place all time, thats how I check it
@@dirtniron when I roll it forward to see If it come of the top of the helmet goes over my face and does move when I shake it, does that mean its to big then?
probably yes.. go to some motorcycle store and try on different sizes, you will see what fit and feels the best
so what would happen if I used the one that is huge on me would it still protect the head the same
Guess I better go buy some knee pads.
yes, highly recommend
