I'm 70 years old and have five bikes. I've been riding since I was about 13 years old. I of course don't do stunt riding but I also don't wear boots (feels just too clunky). I wear armored sneakers, I can feel the foot controls better. I do wear armored riding jeans, an armored leather jacket. I wear an assortment of helmets (depending on weather, what I'm riding, how far I'm riding etc.) Hey you ride your ride the way you want not the way someone else is comfortable with. Just my opinion.
Hahaha! I had to lay her down, every old man’s excuse when I hear that I giggle like a girl every time. Thanks for talking for the guys that actually ride.🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Had to lay her down... that's right up there with, I was cleaning my gun and it just went off. No the fuck you weren't, you were dicking around and put your finger on the trigger of a loaded gun. Keep em coming Kruesi!
@@kruesioriginals You are exactly right. A lot of these are the same people crying Freedom this and Freedom that and then want to dictate policy. Ride the way you want to ride as long you don't fuck someone else's day.
I'm a new motorcycle rider but very seasoned athlete. With my limited bike experience I can already tell that I appreciate the tactility that thinner surfaces offer on all the important control surfaces (throttle, brakes, clutch, shifter, and even seat). I can totally believe that this "lively" communication could make a huge difference in the ability to do advanced skills. I absolutely hate the feeling of being numb with no feedback. Thank you for sharing.
I stopped caring what people say when I seen them fighting over toilet paper in 2020, ride your ride, wear what you want/don’t want, great channel keep it up🤙🏻
I can respect the skill stunters have, but when I'm riding hundreds of miles at 80mph, I'm going to wear 10inch Nick's boots, a riding jacket, and a full-face helmet. I can replace gear, I can't replace my body.
Fear keeps you safe to a certain extent. If you stunt you will fall , part of the experience. Keep those hand drags coming. I say this and I personally can’t wheelie but I fawking enjoy watching you guys kill it wether it’s on a cruiser bike or motorcycle. 👍🍺😎
@@TheEagle12901 I have the Builder Pros and they're hands down the best boots I've ever owned. I never have to worry about grip when coming to a stop. I also wear them 8hr a day on concrete and the support ensures I never have sore feet.
@@TheEagle12901 the new Nicks moc toes are sexy af. One day! Until then I am very happy with my Whites. A couple times a year they have some awesome sales fyi.✌️
I ride a bagger. Been riding 51 years. I wear the gear that makes me feel feel safe. But more than that, I love the way you splayed the fuckin clothes cops and people minding other people’s business. SUBSCRIBED.
I’ve wore boots all my life. I’m an ironworker Local 3 structural steel. I wear boots to church. I wear boots everywhere. And when I’m on my bike, I wear waterproof boots I do not stun ride. So that’s cool whatever you wanna do this is America you live with the fuck you wanna ride and you wear what the fuck do you wanna wear. God bless America. God bless you and yours.
Interesting discussion and perspective. I would be the last person to ever tell a stunt rider what kind of gear they should use, because for me, if I was to ever be doing a wheelie or trying to precisely manipulate controls from a standing upright position, that means something has gone horribly wrong and I would want as much armor between me and the outside world as humanely possible!
I hear your point, Man. For stunting it might be different. However motorcycle specific boots offer MUCH more protection and support for your ankle. The riding pants offer impact and abrasion protection. I have been in a bad wreck. Will not ride without my gear. I would be dead without my full face helmet.
There is a reason more people survive and have less injuries statistically than people who don't wear proper gear. I'm not gonna tell someone to though. To each his own, I'm just smart enough to read the data and mitigate risks. But this guy is so badass and doesn't like people telling him what to do, he makes a video telling other people what not to do. Everyone is a youtube celebrity nowadays. Or think they are.

Great piece!!! You nailed it with the HD riders (yes, I ride a Harley) who get their "costume" on and play billy joe badass while wearing their skid lid or uber protective doo rag! People ask why I wear a full face or modular helmet. I tell them because I don't have enough sense to lose anymore and walk away.
I certainly hope no new riders take your advice about riding gear. Bikes are dangerous enough without good gear. It's up to the individual to accept personal risk when doing anything. Anybody who has ever crashed on a bike will sat they were glad for every stitch of gear they had on when it went bad.
I could not agree more, been preeching the same for years, just leave em to it now, those that preech and ramble about gear usually have little riding experience. 🖤
Plenty of racers are well aware of the rear brake, and YamahaChamp school has a whole focus on teaching people rear brake because of the myth that sport motorcycles dont really need a rear brake. "No rear brake" for racing is an outdated method, now days motoamerica, motogp, Isle of Man TT and especially the king of the batters they all have a very highly skill developed use of the rear brake. Yamaha champshool's ChampU has a whole teaching segment on just the rear brake. Kyle Wyman is a teacher/parisipation assistant at ChampSchool, the guy who rides SE's Road Glide for king of the baggers. He's a super accomplished superbike racer.
You do know that one of the fastest riders in the country rides for us? Moto America super Moto national champion, KTM factory rider. you do know that I know Kyle and every single person you just mentioned in your write up? That we race with all of those people? I’ll tell you what they’ve all told me when I was calling all those people asking them for advice on setting up a race bike. Rear brakes are for slow people.

Im a ER Nurse. The only thing that really truly upsets me; is seeing riders helmetless. ive seen brains, in the worst way possible. You wanna ride shirtless in cut off shorts go ahead brother. we can wash out your wounds ,and fix your bones. we cant fix a split skull and half of a brain very easy. Stay up, yall.
Experience is everything. Marketing and regulation has made everyone the “bike gear” police. F that protect your melon and wear what helps control your machine. Great video homie.
Tcx makes some solid “riding “shoes. Work to stunt in. I’ve wrecked the same way one left once right stunting and once in moto shoes once not and I didn’t break my ankle with the tcx on. The little ankle cup protection came in clutch.
I’ll look into it, I have been looking for a good pair of Stunt riding shoes that last. I bought alpine star Stunt riding shoes they made it about 35 seconds literally burn right to the soul through my sock into my foot
When I stunt I wear my Van High tops, but when I freeway ride with by posse, I wear Milwaukee Boots. I can wheelie my bike, Bicycle, etc.. awesome with Vans. I need to feel the brake pulse when you are at just about 12pm riding a wheelie...
the reason why I keep my mouth shut about most shit lmao. The more I know, the less I know, and the more I understand that most people don't know shit either.
I rode with a mate long-time ago who wore steel cap boots. little minor fuck up on his behalf turned out to be a life changing situation. The steel cap folded back and virtually chopped off all toes on his right foot from just behind the balls of his foot
With respect, I ride 600 miles a week into work and back, more if I head into the mountains on the weekend. I wear jeans and boots because they're warm enough for So Cal mornings, cool enough for summer days and they're appropriate where I work. If I wore shorts and tennis shoes I'd freeze my balls off. Not only that I'm getting peppered by rocks, sand and any other shit people didn't feel they needed to secure in the bed of there truck. Don't think I wanna face that in shorts. What I guess I'm sayin' is I think you should dress for the conditions. You do what works for you man. I'll keep watchin'.
All good points. I’m amazed at what people are riding while doing these kinds of stunts. The only issue is that there was never a mention about leathers. If made or maintained properly they prevent roadrash.
When I had my stunt bike , we would do a hand rear brake lever. Agree doing stunts is at a slower speed and boot wont help, but I did wear a lower riding suit. Also I did road racing with Factory Honda and rear and front brakes are a must .(trail braking) at 170 mph Stay safe and do you.
Great video. Some people just need something to bitch about. If you ain’t doing it like them, you’re wrong, as they’re the experts of everything. Most people who ride are well aware of the risks of how they ride. I don’t tell other people how to ride their shit, they’re grown. They can make their own decisions.
Good topic Funny shit some other RUclipsr posted a video about boots today 😂 I had to comment sayin After a 3 hour ride I never felt more uncomfortable then before wearing boots I wanted to wear my slip ons way more comfortable and like you said you feel more on the rear brake. Not that I’m wheeling but way better comfort if you ask me VANS ALL THE WAY 😂
Nicely said dude 👍 I wish I could wear shorts here in England on a motorcycle but its usually fucking freezing 🥶. I had a crash and my trouser leg got ripped straight off anyway and my leg got messed up ! Keep doing g what your doing always waiting on new vids 👌
lmao very valid points!!! Boots before brains for most! I love my hightop riding shoes, wear work boots at work ALL day as well!! I would never wear regular denim jeans, shit melts, don't want that in the skin.
I wear boots and sneakers. There’s a significant difference in where my feet need to be when wearing my boots vs sneakers. 🍻 “Let those who ride decide.”
I always wondered why stunters didn't wear gear, kinda figured it had something to do with comfort and flexibility so you're explanation makes sense. Im no stunter tho so Kevlar jeans and boots it is for me 🤣
I get that same shit every time I ride. I don’t do anything like you do on a bike but, I am a fucking skateboarder and board feel is everything. So if I can feel how the bike is talking to me while I am riding the same way a board talks to me when I am skating, then I am in tune with what the hell is going on.
@@MHLivestreams why? There is no where in life I am going at 150mph. I’m just chilling and besides I have a chopper and 2010 FXDB I’m not running around looking for Dyna wobbles. Everyone has their own ride man.
I wish people wouldn't sugar coat things & beat around the bush. Don't worry so much about hurting someone's feelings and tell us how you really feel. I mean don't make us have to guess your opinion. Just be straight, we are adults & can handle it.
I have rode wearing flip flops in the Philippines. I wear tennis shoes, ankle high cheapest boots can find. 69 years old now. Have a bad knee from a dirt bike accident. Just makes it hard to kick start my 83 FXWG. Good video, spoke your mind!
most people were i come from think it's mandatory to put their weekend pirate costume on. combat boots, finger less gloves, leather vest with 100 dumb patches on it, do rag no helmet. they will tell you that's what real bikers wear. come monday they put the costume back in the closet, and you would not recognize them. what ever floats your your boat i guess.
I took a motorcycle training course a few months ago to get an M2 License. It is a 3 day course that starts on a Friday night. Friday night is just a 3 hour classroom session and 90% of the time all that was talked about was the safety gear and helmets and boots. (One I think has to be dressed so one can go to the moon) Anyway the chief instructor mentioned that he once saw a guy riding a motorcycle with a tee shirt, shorts and sandals. He was shocked as in all of his 40 years of bike riding he has never seen anyone dressed like that on a motorcycle. (Now after watching this interesting video I am almost getting to think that the guy in the shorts may be the smart one.)
I wear boots 24-7, always have and always will. You guys do you and I will do me. I don't care what you wear or don't wear but don't try and put me in the basket with the "I had to lay it down, Dude." bunch and I won't put you in the "Look at those idiots." basket. 60 years ago when I started riding the Converse High Tops were all the rage.
I have a pair of very nice motorcycle protective boots that have good ankle protection. But I literally can't shift gears wearing them, so they're *less* safe than shoes. I also can't walk wearing them.
When I wadded up my bagger doing well over 80, my shoes came off, my jeans got shredded and my tank top was gone. The good news is that your skin, finger nails, etc. grows back, so no worries ;). I still ride my bikes to the beach wearing flip-flops, trunks and a tank top. If I’m wearing boots and leathers, it’s because it’s in the 40’s or below. I don’t care what anyone says, comfort over safety rules the day . You want safety? Drive your car or truck and drink your beer out of a sippy cup.
I’ve been riding since 1985. Started out on dirt bikes when I was 5, moved to sport bikes when I was 15, and been on Dynas since 2017. My biggest peave with people is them trying to tell me that motorcycles are dangers and advising me on what I should ride in and how I should ride…mind you, these are people that have never been on a motorcycle in their lives. I grew up on motorcycles, I live on motorcycles. I’m better at riding than am at walking. I’ve wrecked in every way possible, I’ve lost more friends than I can count, I’ve experienced just about everything you could possibly experience on a motorcycle. With that said, what makes anyone think they can advise me on anything motorcycle related, without having more experience than I have. What I have to say to those people… Kick rocks!!! This is my life, not yours!
literally had someone come into the shop askin me why i have a full face helmet with a harley and im just there like "uhh b/c i actually ride daily and not just once a month?" only time i've had someone talk shit to me. which is a weird thing to talk shit about lol
It's all about freedom to choose. It makes a lot of sense that you need the precise feel for stunting. Me personally, I ride my street bike with motocross boots. But I come from a dirt riding background and have been on dirt bikes since 1970. It's what I feel comfortable wearing when I ride. I have always worn a lot of gear, but don't rely on it to save me. Better to rely on skills.
Jeans are useless, lack of boots contribute to the vast majority of injuries to both Tib FIb factures and ligament/tendon injuries. If you are stunting it's one thing, but I highly disagree with his notion to not wear riding boots. It's not hip, it's not edgy, it's not a hot take...it's bad advice.
Never stunt rode my harley but like watching videos such as yours or Cbear. Always wondered why most guys rode with shorts and shoes and now it makes sense.
I do wear pants...because i dont like bees in my shorts. I used to wear boots when i first started riding, but even just cruising they get in the way and impede functionality of the brake. I don't even remotely stunt, can barely do a real burnout or slide, but i couldn't imagine trying to do any of it in fuckin boots! Personally I wear Altama Urban Assault Low Cut "Boots", just what i've worn for years from the Army. Keep up the great content guys
Not a stunt guy but I've set my bike up for mountain roads. Muscling a Sportster around tight Appilacian twistes requires similar feel. I really like having just the right gloves so I can feel the bars and thin sole boots work for me on the brake pedal. I can imagine stunting takes that to the next level so i can appreciate the need for specific gear.
Absolutely no question about it. A good pair of skate shoes like 'es Accel OGs are gonna give you the best ability to control your motorcycle and not crash! Once you crash from wearing stormtrooper size boots that gave you zero feel on the pegs, shifter or rear brake it's too late! Long distance touring is one thing. But if your pushing the bike to its limits for a relatively short period of time, your gonna have a way easier time of it when you can actually get input back from the motorcycle through your feet!
Most moto boots that have the white foam soles are fairly flexible. I'm talking about the typical unreasonably expensive, hard soled, ultra reinforced styles that have alot of hard plastic in the construction.
@@dirtbikekid I've got a new pair of Forma terra evos that I'm fond of for enduro riding, but if I was on a track trying to make time on a motocross bike like my '21 yz450f they wouldn't be optimum.
So I need to wear a denim jacket, football cleats, and never touch my rear breaks unless I’m stomping into a dirt track style power slide. Got it! Thank you for the after school PSA. 🤣😂🤣😂 All BS aside, good video. Too many know it alls putting around on the weekends.
I had boots on. Got off work, jumped on the bike with my full face Shoei helmet. Head on collision with a full size chevy and landscaping trailer attached to it. Torn Aorta, either boots or helmet helped or assisted in the torn Aorta. Now both legs and feet were crushed. The boots actually made it tougher on emergency crews. Now my entire face was crushed. They cut me from one side to another on the top of my head towards the front. Pulled my face down and reconstructed my entire face. But what they thought was a miracle was no brain damage. I thanked the blessings of a full face and Shoei . All this said, doesn’t mean shit. Last I checked Ryan is a grown ass man. He can ride with whatever shoes he feels like. Also, he’s not going to your you tube channel and posting his stunt riding. He’s posting it on his. So if you dislike his non boot wearing ass, get off his channel. And he’ll get off your mom. 😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏼♂️

Any man that actually has an opinion about what another man is wearing while riding may have homosexual tendencies.
Love the channel. Keep shredding
I hear you man. It’s our choice what we wear or don’t wear.
I fuckin love this channel 😂
Thank you 😊
I love that line if your road racing and using the rear brake you’re not fast lol sooooo true
Glad I watched this before I commented... because I in fact do not know shit about stunt riding. Keep thrashin bro
I love these rants by Ryan
All good points. I’m amazed at what people are riding while doing these kinds of stunts. The only issue is that there was never a mention about leathers. If made or maintained properly they prevent roadrash.
When I had my stunt bike , we would do a hand rear brake lever. Agree doing stunts is at a slower speed and boot wont help, but I did wear a lower riding suit. Also I did road racing with Factory Honda and rear and front brakes are a must .(trail braking) at 170 mph
Stay safe and do you.
same here, bro'. i just commented the same 5 mins ago and read this. I have an additional brake lever below the clutch.
This guy put up a damn good argument… idk how to do anything but ride, and he convinced me that he is right lol
"He broke every bone in his foot"
Yeah, and if he was wearing sneakers, he wouldn't HAVE a foot.
exactly
did you not watch the video?
So you didn't watch the video, got it
I hate people being Karens about gear. Wear what you want.
I fuckin love this channel 😂🏴
Great video. Some people just need something to bitch about. If you ain’t doing it like them, you’re wrong, as they’re the experts of everything. Most people who ride are well aware of the risks of how they ride. I don’t tell other people how to ride their shit, they’re grown. They can make their own decisions.
Stunt Bunny Vans… I’d wear the shit out of those. Hope to see those on your site soon….
Make it happen kruesi
I would also buy the shit out those. 😂😂
We did make some through vans. But they wouldn’t do it because of the bunny ears. Too much like playboy
@@kruesioriginals I can see that…the KO with some wings then? Haha
Good topic
Funny shit some other RUclipsr posted a video about boots today 😂
I had to comment sayin
After a 3 hour ride I never felt more uncomfortable then before wearing boots
I wanted to wear my slip ons way more comfortable and like you said you feel more on the rear brake. Not that I’m wheeling but way better comfort if you ask me
VANS ALL THE WAY 😂
All day
Thanks for the lesson, I wear boots but I don’t stunt, makes lots of sense, Enjoy your channel 🇵🇷🥊🙏
Right on, I hate wearing boots for the exact reason I want to feel the brake, shifter. Hi top vans is the way to go
Nicely said dude 👍 I wish I could wear shorts here in England on a motorcycle but its usually fucking freezing 🥶.
I had a crash and my trouser leg got ripped straight off anyway and my leg got messed up !
Keep doing g what your doing always waiting on new vids 👌
I preferred riding pants really just because I don’t like getting sunburns on the Cavs but it’s way too hot out here
lmao very valid points!!!
Boots before brains for most!
I love my hightop riding shoes, wear work boots at work ALL day as well!!
I would never wear regular denim jeans, shit melts, don't want that in the skin.
Amen 🤘🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣cotton doesn't melt
“We’ll I use the rear brake when I road race. Well you’re not very fast”😂😂😂 that was my favorite part
😁
I wear boots and sneakers. There’s a significant difference in where my feet need to be when wearing my boots vs sneakers. 🍻 “Let those who ride decide.”
I always wondered why stunters didn't wear gear, kinda figured it had something to do with comfort and flexibility so you're explanation makes sense. Im no stunter tho so Kevlar jeans and boots it is for me 🤣
I’m not even going fast enough to really need it
Thank you for making this video. I’m with ya.
Thanks for watching!
I get that same shit every time I ride. I don’t do anything like you do on a bike but, I am a fucking skateboarder and board feel is everything. So if I can feel how the bike is talking to me while I am riding the same way a board talks to me when I am skating, then I am in tune with what the hell is going on.
100%
okay... let's see you come off your skateboard over 150 mph and call me back.
@@MHLivestreams why? There is no where in life I am going at 150mph. I’m just chilling and besides I have a chopper and 2010 FXDB I’m not running around looking for Dyna wobbles. Everyone has their own ride man.
I wish people wouldn't sugar coat things & beat around the bush. Don't worry so much about hurting someone's feelings and tell us how you really feel. I mean don't make us have to guess your opinion. Just be straight, we are adults & can handle it.
an angry Ryan is a funny Ryan. awesome shit bro, keep it up 😎
😂😂😎
I have rode wearing flip flops in the Philippines. I wear tennis shoes, ankle high cheapest boots can find. 69 years old now. Have a bad knee from a dirt bike accident. Just makes it hard to kick start my 83 FXWG. Good video, spoke your mind!
most people were i come from think it's mandatory to put their weekend pirate costume on. combat boots, finger less gloves, leather vest with 100 dumb patches on it, do rag no helmet. they will tell you that's what real bikers wear. come monday they put the costume back in the closet, and you would not recognize them. what ever floats your your boat i guess.
What real bikers wear!!
Then I sure as hell don’t want to be a biker😂😂
"chrome studded saddle bags that your bought from your J&P catalog" hahahaha holy fuck. hilarious man
😎
“Fuck your costume” lol
Officially my favorite youtube guy.
Fuck them keyboard warriors,
Vans all day everyday 🤙
Hell yes let’s go
I took a motorcycle training course a few months ago to get an M2 License. It is a 3 day course that starts on a Friday night. Friday night is just a 3 hour classroom session and 90% of the time all that was talked about was the safety gear and helmets and boots. (One I think has to be dressed so one can go to the moon)
Anyway the chief instructor mentioned that he once saw a guy riding a motorcycle with a tee shirt, shorts and sandals. He was shocked as in all of his 40 years of bike riding he has never seen anyone dressed like that on a motorcycle. (Now after watching this interesting video I am almost getting to think that the guy in the shorts may be the smart one.)
I wear boots 24-7, always have and always will. You guys do you and I will do me. I don't care what you wear or don't wear but don't try and put me in the basket with the "I had to lay it down, Dude." bunch and I won't put you in the "Look at those idiots." basket. 60 years ago when I started riding the Converse High Tops were all the rage.
I have a pair of very nice motorcycle protective boots that have good ankle protection. But I literally can't shift gears wearing them, so they're *less* safe than shoes. I also can't walk wearing them.
Your a fucken badass brother! Keep doing what your doing love the content
Hands down the best video you’ve put out Ryan! Lol I love this shit
When I wadded up my bagger doing well over 80, my shoes came off, my jeans got shredded and my tank top was gone. The good news is that your skin, finger nails, etc. grows back, so no worries ;). I still ride my bikes to the beach wearing flip-flops, trunks and a tank top. If I’m wearing boots and leathers, it’s because it’s in the 40’s or below. I don’t care what anyone says, comfort over safety rules the day . You want safety? Drive your car or truck and drink your beer out of a sippy cup.
okay boomer
You didn't mention trials, we wear boots and modulate the rear brake regularly?
Greatest video yet!!!
Na there’s better ones!!! But this one really hit it on the Nipple for sure!!!!
Preachhh. I just where jeans and a sweatshirt so I don’t get road rash as bad, still gonna get it. I like comfort when I ride.
I’ve been riding since 1985. Started out on dirt bikes when I was 5, moved to sport bikes when I was 15, and been on Dynas since 2017.
My biggest peave with people is them trying to tell me that motorcycles are dangers and advising me on what I should ride in and how I should ride…mind you, these are people that have never been on a motorcycle in their lives.
I grew up on motorcycles, I live on motorcycles.
I’m better at riding than am at walking.
I’ve wrecked in every way possible, I’ve lost more friends than I can count, I’ve experienced just about everything you could possibly experience on a motorcycle.
With that said, what makes anyone think they can advise me on anything motorcycle related, without having more experience than I have.
What I have to say to those people…
Kick rocks!!! This is my life, not yours!
Kick rocks, I like that.
No shit...That guy is such tool..
EXACTLY!
"I'm better at riding than I am walking. I've wrecked in every way possible". Huh!
My life, not yours, exactly.
I just found this channel by chance, fantastic truths, straight to the point. Loved it thanks.
Don't let the Karens get to you homie... Do ya thing boi!!!
Holy shit that’s what it is it’s male Karen’s. We need a name for them
@@kruesioriginals I'm pretty sure they're called Kevin's. Then again I'm about as woke as roadkill. ( thank God )
@@t.s.racing also heard them called "Darens" lol
literally had someone come into the shop askin me why i have a full face helmet with a harley and im just there like "uhh b/c i actually ride daily and not just once a month?" only time i've had someone talk shit to me. which is a weird thing to talk shit about lol
Nailed it! There will always be Karnes out there! Keep killing it!
Ooo i love the carnival, when does it get to town?
It's all about freedom to choose. It makes a lot of sense that you need the precise feel for stunting. Me personally, I ride my street bike with motocross boots. But I come from a dirt riding background and have been on dirt bikes since 1970. It's what I feel comfortable wearing when I ride. I have always worn a lot of gear, but don't rely on it to save me. Better to rely on skills.
Again. I’ve said it before, this man speaks his truth like a sworn statement. Respect.
🙏
Jeans when its cold, shorts when its hot! That simple!
Hahaha love this
I wear boots because I live in Alaska and my feet get cold. But when it’s warm I wear 5/10s because they’re fucking awesome. Good rant 😎
Dropping the knowledge! Hell yeah!
Jeans are useless, lack of boots contribute to the vast majority of injuries to both Tib FIb factures and ligament/tendon injuries. If you are stunting it's one thing, but I highly disagree with his notion to not wear riding boots. It's not hip, it's not edgy, it's not a hot take...it's bad advice.
Love it! I've had more people give me "advice" on how to ride and what to wear that have never rode a bike before than actual riders...🙄
Always the way she goes
The funniest thing is the HD riders who have to ride in Chucks or vans. That is part of their costume. It’s hilarious
Never stunt rode my harley but like watching videos such as yours or Cbear. Always wondered why most guys rode with shorts and shoes and now it makes sense.
I do wear pants...because i dont like bees in my shorts. I used to wear boots when i first started riding, but even just cruising they get in the way and impede functionality of the brake. I don't even remotely stunt, can barely do a real burnout or slide, but i couldn't imagine trying to do any of it in fuckin boots! Personally I wear Altama Urban Assault Low Cut "Boots", just what i've worn for years from the Army. Keep up the great content guys
Not a stunt guy but I've set my bike up for mountain roads. Muscling a Sportster around tight Appilacian twistes requires similar feel. I really like having just the right gloves so I can feel the bars and thin sole boots work for me on the brake pedal. I can imagine stunting takes that to the next level so i can appreciate the need for specific gear.
I ride those same Appalachian Mountains and I’ll wear Chuck Taylor’s West Virginia
i have 'frank thomas city gloves' for that exact reason, i like to feel the controls.
Absolutely no question about it. A good pair of skate shoes like 'es Accel OGs are gonna give you the best ability to control your motorcycle and not crash! Once you crash from wearing stormtrooper size boots that gave you zero feel on the pegs, shifter or rear brake it's too late! Long distance touring is one thing. But if your pushing the bike to its limits for a relatively short period of time, your gonna have a way easier time of it when you can actually get input back from the motorcycle through your feet!
To each their own but I’ve never felt my moto boots were the reason for crashing my dirt bike.
Most moto boots that have the white foam soles are fairly flexible. I'm talking about the typical unreasonably expensive, hard soled, ultra reinforced styles that have alot of hard plastic in the construction.
@@dirtbikekid I've got a new pair of Forma terra evos that I'm fond of for enduro riding, but if I was on a track trying to make time on a motocross bike like my '21 yz450f they wouldn't be optimum.
So I need to wear a denim jacket, football cleats, and never touch my rear breaks unless I’m stomping into a dirt track style power slide. Got it! Thank you for the after school PSA. 🤣😂🤣😂 All BS aside, good video. Too many know it alls putting around on the weekends.
I don't always ride around in a jock strap but when I do I drink Dos Equis!!! Keep it real my friend!! LMAO
I had boots on. Got off work, jumped on the bike with my full face Shoei helmet. Head on collision with a full size chevy and landscaping trailer attached to it. Torn Aorta, either boots or helmet helped or assisted in the torn Aorta. Now both legs and feet were crushed. The boots actually made it tougher on emergency crews. Now my entire face was crushed. They cut me from one side to another on the top of my head towards the front. Pulled my face down and reconstructed my entire face. But what they thought was a miracle was no brain damage. I thanked the blessings of a full face and Shoei . All this said, doesn’t mean shit. Last I checked Ryan is a grown ass man. He can ride with whatever shoes he feels like. Also, he’s not going to your you tube channel and posting his stunt riding. He’s posting it on his. So if you dislike his non boot wearing ass, get off his channel. And he’ll get off your mom. 😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏼♂️
I know shit about stunt riding. But I agree with you I ride in shorts and no boots!!! Lol
Fuck yeah man 🤘🏾 if only people could learn to mind their business lol.
Mr. Darwin is chuckling somewhere...but hey, you do you...
