Great point to highlight safety gear. Generally, unless required, many ignore it, but if the whole point is to ride and have fun then safety gear can help keep us all riding and having fun.
I am blessed to walk away from a bad nose dive on a 6’ drop with a 6’ gap to the knuckle of the landing, I had my full face on which helped but I have been researching body protection since getting home after that ride yesterday , I’ve had 3 spills and this crash yesterday in the last four weeks learning this wet techy west coast nar. Luckily I’m not working until January because of project delays so I can push hard and heal lol
I like how comfortable you are on camera! Wish we could afford to come roll with you. I'm in the market for a complete safety gear upgrade, thank you for your input!
Steady Spin Disciple unboxing. ruclips.net/video/5l1E56hjGXg/видео.html Btw- if I did a 50 ft jump these days the only protective gear I’d need would be a diaper and coffin!!’ Lol.
Thanks for sharing this one. I really like the integration of the neck brace and chest protector. I went to Windrock for the first time recently. Being less young, I can see that being a really REALLY good investment.
Nice video man. I wish I'd invested in a neck protector a couple of months ago. I went OTB on cease and desist in Bentonville and broke my neck in two places. When I'm able to ride again, I will certainly wear one.
Wish I’d watched this video yesterday,face planted at the local pump track today. I had elbow and knee protection on,so glad I did. However,I didn’t have a full face helmet on. I’m cut up and need to visit the dentist. Full face helmet ordered and chest protector will be ordered tonight. Thanks for the video,great info,ride safe.
Thanks Kevin! Good info on what works for you. Maybe will have a chance to meet you at Kanuga someday or at Seths new park. Keep of the great content!!!
Good stuff man, Mr Tonka, Nic, Dax and I had the footwear discussion on Alex's Chasing Epic trip when I was down there this month. I just invested in some Five Ten's. Rode with them on for the 1st time last night. Footwear is a huge difference.
great vid bro. can't review enough on how important it is to wear gear when riding the way we ride. My friends nefiew just had a crash a couple weeks ago on a pretty tech trail with lots of tree stumps and rock areas there. An experienced rider who decided to go without his gear on and we just heard that he will never walk again. broke his spine in 2 places, broken collar bone, punctured lung and cuts and bruises. Paralyzed from the waist down. So a shout out to ya mate for sharing the importance of wearing this gear.
2:34 that protective suit looks like it's a decent one. I haven't tried one yet.But for backpack I think I will get Evoc Neo 16L, as I wore out the zipper one one compartment on my Evoc Fr Enduro, the others will eventually wear out too, so good idea to get one before it happens, and repair it later, so I have two. I haven't figured out which size I should get yet, I guess I have to try one and see if it fits. I still prefer Chincam, cus I can turn my head while riding and film something.
Bro dirt jumps are sick! As long as ur talking about what ur doing it’s sick! Idc if it’s a road gap or working on ur technique I’ll watch it! #nobreaknation
The ixs xult is the full face helmet I chose. Look at the safety ratings, they are probably the best you will find. Its pretty light too. Jenson has a killer deal going on them right now.
I ride olschool 661 body armor back chest elbows. But no dh. I ride the 661 elbows and legs. Or just my bmx kit. I have 661 carbon dh helmet. A rock garden dh helm. And a moto one. All dot approved. And yup I always have camo shorts and T-shirt. With vans. I ride the vans all the time. Nice video brah
I've heard this 'you need to go to work on Monday' thing so often. If I had a crash serious enough to miss work, work will be the least of my problems. Nobody would say a word, besides wishing me a fast recovery. Great video btw, thank you. Looking at the aplinestar A4, looks great.
Chest Protector now added to my Amazon list, just need to find the complimentary neck brace. Awesome vid man! Socks and flip-flops would get ya stares in the sunshine state lol
oh, thats all in the editing. This is also a lot like personality if you ever meet me person. I wake up like naturally like I already had 2 cups of coffee already.
Hey man I'm a huge fan! Relatively new to the channel but I love watching your videos! I'm 27. I literally just got into the sport. Just got my first bike last week. I graduate college next year and my girlfriend and I have been looking at moving out of new hampshire . We've been looking at North Carolina, Tennessee, and a few other places. I didn't know if you had any insight on the mtb front about where to live hahaha keep doing you man !
@@SteadySpin I haven't but I fully plan on hitting highland and thunder a lot. Highland is only about 35 minutes from me. I believe thunder is around 2 hours give or take
Leatt DBX 3.0 DH Bicycle Helmet Downhill Freeride FR MTB AM Mountain Bike Fidlock Brand New $209.83 Buy It Now +$45.41 shipping · From Germany This Helmet is the most comfortable and secure helmet I've ever had. There is also the DBX 4.0 that I heard is a super solid helmet to.
Steady - Love your content. Looking for that chest protector. I am 6 weeks into recovering from a collarbone break at an enduro race and was not wearing any protection on chest and back.
Lol, damn. Well since you have crashed the Fox Proframe a couple of times you are probably the most qualified person I will prob ever be able to ask. How well does it perform? I like the design for keeping cool and I also like my teeth and jaw where they are so I don't want to run without a chin guard.
The proframe is lite weight and breaths very well. But I have cracked a few of them and don’t like that. I was still super concussed but never got knocked out. So I no longer have one. I stepped my full face up to a more heavy duty the TLD something. It’s in the Beech video.
Just about the camera mount. Keep in mind that is a horrible impact point. If you fall directly onto that you will have a metal bolt carrying a lot of energy poking in your chest. I would definitely swap that for a plastic screw or some zip ties.
Great vid man!! Good info!! I'm recovering from a clavicle fracture. I was wondering if the chest protectors help with that body part. I have a full plate with 8 screws holding my clavicle together so I'm definitely looking to protect that, if for anything else,peace of mind while im riding.
I think the neck brace will brake your collar bone but with save your neck. So the chest protector for sure saves your spine and your ribs with no compromise for discomfort. I wear the chest protector a lot.
Had my first enduro this weekend, I did great but did take a digger.... Out of all things I didn't wear it was elbow pads. My arm looks like a mutant at the moment... Anyways., I will be buying more protection.
Definitely get a TLD Stage 2 or a Bell Super DH. The Fox Proframe hurt my neck. With no MIPS on the Fox, my neck took that rotation and I was hurting for a week. No MIPS, no thanks. Great vid. When are you doing upgrades on the Bronson?
Mounting the Gopro right to your chest like that is a bad idea if you ever crash chest first into the ground. That becomes a battering ram to your chest. You want the force distributed not focused in one spot.
I know this is an old vid, but how do you size the jersey for wearing chest protection? Great vid of course. Just hope I can get some guidance on this.
I wear goggles on decent because my eyes water so bad it’s dangerous 😅 when I climb I use something basic to protect from branches in the tight technical climbs here on Vancouver Island.
subscribed. I have a question. Do you have a suggestion for body armor that could help protect against clavicle breaks. I broke my collarbone/clavicle this past weekend and now looking to get more gear for next year. Thanks.
I don't want to tell you how to run your channel but you should put Amazon links in the description for the products that you showed. Passive income dude... Good stuff though. I really like where you're going with the channel. Really good content.
one of the easier ways to tell is the chin strap, the proframe has a magnet clasp. Makes sense when the heavy duty have the annoying buckle that makes you mad trying to take it off
Kinda beats the purpose of having a chest protector when knowingly if you slam your chest, that go pro mount would attached on that chest, well, you already know what would halpen
Hey, how do you like your neck brace? Got my first windrock experience. I looked around at everyone looking like riot police and said, ya I’m a little underdressed here. Seems to be a lot of mixed reviews in the motocross world on neck braces. Downhill is not as intense as pro motocross, so some of the negatives I don’t think apply to downhill riding... any and all please chime in on your neck brace and MTB experience
I didn’t like it. Kept tapping my helmet. But if a crash is bad the neck brace could save your neck and snap your collar bone. Windrock is as real as it gets in my book. Also the only place I like having a DH rig.
Good video. What size is your A4 chest protector, M/L or XL/XXL? I'm 42" chest, 6 ft, right in between sizes & can't decide on size. I'll have to mail order & so can't try it on first.
XL. I’m 5-10 at 200. Chest 43. I’d so go with the larger size. It also makes it a little longer. Side note I wear a shirt under it and a jersey over. Nobody can tell I have it on. I never feel it when I’m riding. It for sure saved me on that Snowshoe crash 💥 on my DH bike.
Anybody think a chest protector is nessacary for a beginner downhill? I'm used to riding BMX and just got a trail bike for everything else including some downhill. I had a pretty good crash a week ago and banged up my ribs so I'm thinking about it but feel maybe it's overkill. I don't hit super big jumps yet in case that matters.
“Make it to work on Monday”.... always on my mind.
Little safety gear in your future ?
Steady Spin yes sir
Steady Spin is there a store in Asheville that sells the chest protector? I haven’t had any luck finding it in Atlanta area.
@@TheMicpat its moto gear. alpinestar. if you have any issue reach out to me on IG and i can get you connected with where i got mine.
It’s not a bike shop chest protector. It’s a moto cross one. Anybody that sells alpinestar should be able to get it. Seen online for $120-$145

Mounting the Gopro right to your chest like that is a bad idea if you ever crash chest first into the ground. That becomes a battering ram to your chest. You want the force distributed not focused in one spot.

Hi!
You're wearing the mtb glasses/goggles over your "vision" glasses?

@@SteadySpin thanks for your quick reply. I'm also looking at the newer A4-max. Any experience of how that compares?
It Looks a little more flexible on the back which might make it conform to you better.
Would you recommend this Chest protector for Inline skating Crash Protections? Would this do anything for your ribs when crashing on Asphalt?
It will. My tip is to wear a shirt under it and baggy shirt over it.
I live in bend where 10 barrel is from
When I was a bar tender I sold a shot ton of it.
